Viewing WD data remotely

Viewing Weather Display data across the Internet

Follow these instructions to view the data on a (Client) PC with an Internet connection

where the weather station is connected to another PC which is not on your local LAN, but

does have an internet connection.

1. €Click on Setup, Setup FTP/Internet/...

2. €Click on the tab labelled "TCP/IP Client/Server".

3. €Click the button at the middle left side labelled "Client Enabled".

4. €You may also want to click the button labelled "Show indoor temp/hum on client".

5. €Click on the box in the lower left corner labelled "The data is from over the internet".

7. €Fill in your LAN's PROXY information if appropriate.

"Client Viewer" at LAN sites

The Client Viewer provides an alternative method of viewing WD data.

You can configure Weather Display to create a clientraw.txt file, either locally on a server,

or sent by FTP to your web/ftp server. By default the file is created/sent every 3 seconds,

but you can change this under Web Files Setup.

Alternatively the file can be created/sent at the times you select under the advanced

internet setup (Customize Internet File Creation). For this option, you need to tick to

"Update this file" under Setup, Internet Setup, Client/Server. You do not need to have

Weather Display set up as a client or server to have this file updated by simply ticking that

option.

When the file is being uploaded, you can use the free client viewer to view the weather

data, updated every 3 seconds (or as defined). You need to set the viewer to use the data

from over the Internet in the setup, and enter the URL of the clientraw.txt file. The

alternative is to use a fixed IP address of the PC that is acting as you Weather Display

server, i.e. the PC with the weather station attached to it.
