FAQ#056 – Are SMTPS (SSL) and SFTP supported by OMNIAlog?
OMNIAlog can be configured to send readings file by e-mail using simple authentication (SMTP) or on simple FTP.SFTP and SMTPS (SSL) are not supported.OMNIAlog does not manage the security certificates. OMNIAlog does not support also encrypted authentication (i.e. NTLM, MD5 etc.). However, SISGEO supplies the datalogger carrying an already configured SMTP account, to allow the sending […]
FAQ#055 – Using the miniOMNIAlog system, is it necessary the grounding system?
To make efficient and effective the protections of miniOMNIAlog, it is INDISPENSABLE to have a grounding system. The ground is no longer necessary to guarantee quality-measurements (“measurement ground”), but it is considered only as “functional ground”.
FAQ#054 – Can the connected PC power the miniOMNIAlog?
MiniOMNIAlog can be powered from 6 AA batteries or through an external power supply (i.e. from a little solar panel).To preserve the batteries life, during PC connection, the power supply is automatically taken from the PC through USB cable connection. In any case a power supply (internal batteries or external power supply) is necessary to […]
FAQ#053 – SIM card for 3G/2G Modem
If the miniOMNIAlog has equipped with the internal 3G/2G modem a SIM with APN for internet connection is needed. The SIM selected must be enabled for internet traffic to send e-mail and file on FTP Server (for further details call your ISP “Internet Service Provider”). SISGEO suggest a Flat profile.
FAQ#052 – Is it necessary to use an isolated USB cable?
USB port in miniOMNIAlog is not isolated.For the connection between PC and miniOMNIAlog, SISGEO recommends to use an isolated USB cable:this is the professional tool to avoid and fight ground loops and equalizing currents and to protect against overvoltage, that could damage miniOMNIAlog or cause flood readings.Isolated USB cable is especially recommended when the PC […]
FAQ#051 – Which communication interfaces are possible to use with miniOMNIAlog?
Only the internal GPRS module is supported.
FAQ#050 – Are SMTPS (SSL) and SFTP supported by miniOMNIAlog?
miniOMNIAlog can be configured to send readings files via e-mail or on FTP server, using simple SMTP authentication protocol or FTP simple protocol. The protocols SFTP and SMTPS (SSL) are not supported. miniOMNIAlog does not support security layer. miniOMNIAlog also does not support encrypted authentication (eg. NTLM, MD5 etc.). However, SISGEO supplies the datalogger carrying […]
FAQ#049 – Does miniOMNIAlog support remote connection?
No, to manage (i.e. to configure) a miniOMNIAlog it is necessary to connect a PC directly through an USB cable.
FAQ#048 – Is it possible to use an Apple Mac to manage a miniOMNIAlog?
No software is necessary to be installed: simply connect the PC to the USB port and establish a dial-up PPP connection.Last Apple Mac Operating System seems not support anymore dial-up PPP connection.
FAQ#047 – Is it possible to change channels configuration of miniOMNIAlog?
Power supply type (internal batteries or external power supply), the measure type of each analog channel (current, voltage, NTC, Wheatstone bridge) and the presence of the GPRS module are configured at the factory. The user is not able to modify these settings.
FAQ#046 – OMNIAlog: something to know to communicate with optical fiber technology
The optical fiber interface you can find in SISGEO catalogue is an ethernet switch with 4 10/100Base-TX ports (to link other LAN devices, in addition to OMNIAlog) and 2 100Base-FX ports (store and forward architecture). This interface is suitable for multi-mode fibres (50/125µm and 62.5/125µm) that allow lengths of maximum 2 km; for longer sections, you […]
