*2: Terminator
The termination resistor is inside of RM-1000.It is possible to select the termination ON or OFF. The termination resistor
should be connected to the RM-1000 at the end of the serial connection. It prevents signal reflection, which is caused by the
impedance mismatch. Signal reflection causes signal distortion, which in turn leads to communication errors.

* 3: Timer settings for the AIRDOLPHIN

You can set the AIRDOLPHIN to operate or stop at preset time periods, in the 24-hour notation. For instance, you can set
so that the AIRDOLPHIN operates from 6:00 to 22:00 and stops from 22:00 to 6:00.

Preparations (Advanced 2): To access the RM-1000 via the Internet using a router

Step 6: Set up a router.

☞ You can connect to the RM-1000 via the Internet for remote control and management and to have access to the
RM-1000 data. You first need to assign a private IP address to the RM-1000 and a global IP address to the router
that you are using to access the RM-1000 through address conversion by the Network Access Translation/IP
masquerade (NAT) function.

This section provides the minimum information on how to access the RM-1000 via a router.
Your choice of router or network configuration may require more setup. Check the router
specifications and ask your system administrator in advance.

You need to prepare a designated router, contract with an Internet service provider, and
obtain a global IP address in advance.

1. Refer to step 5 on page 14 to assign a private IP address to the RM-1000.

2. Access your router. Refer to the documentation that comes with the router for more information.
3. Assign your global IP address to the router. Refer to the documentation that comes with the router for more
information.
4. Set up ports in your router for Network Access Translation/IP masquerading (NAT).
① Open the port number 80 for HTTP to configure the private IP address assigned to the RM-1000.
② Open the port number 10001 for data transfer to configure the private IP address assigned to the RM-1000.

☞ The port number 80 is the default port number for HTTP in most cases. You can use a different port number.
☞ The port number 10001 is set as the default for the RM-1000. To change the port number, you need to change
both the router and RM-1000 port settings.

To change the default port number 10001 for the RM-1000:

1. Refer to step 5 on page 14 to open the WiPort.
2. Click ‘Channel 1’ from the menu displayed on the left column in the WiPort main window and enter your choice of
port number for ‘Local Port’ under ‘Endpoint Configuration’.
3. Confirm the entered value and click OK.
4. Click ‘Apply Settings’ after you have confirmed that the ‘Done!’ message appears next to ‘OK’ on the screen.

Connection

Change the default port number 10001.

 Saving data on the multi media card (MMC)

Step 1: Create data files

Data files are updated on a monthly basis. If you turn off the RM-1000 or remove the Multi Media Card from the MMC slot
(before the scheduled update), an another data file is created. The number of files depends on how often you turn off the
RM-1000 or remove the card from the slot.

A file name example: RM0804XX ‘XX’ stands for the file number( in hexadecimal), which is automatically assigned in
order.
