This function enables RT/RS-14WB Series thermo recorders to automatically upload recorded data to "T&D WebStorage Service" where uploaded data is
available for viewing and settings can also be changed.
The following procedure has been written assuming the use of "T&D WebStorage Service" with RT/RS-14WB Series thermo recorders. Please read the
"T&D WebStorage Service" License Agreement carefully before making settings. Making Auto-upload Settings indicates your acceptance of this Agreement.
• This procedure requires Internet access via wireless or wired LAN.
• The maximum number of readings which can be stored in "T&D WebStorage Service" is
80,000. When this limit is exceeded, the oldest data will be overwritten.
• If you wish to select a server other than "T&D WebStorage Service" for auto upload of data,
please use "THERMO RECORDER DATA SERVER". (See on the reverse side.)
If you wish to use a static IP address instead of DHCP, make network settings using
software. See reverse side.
