Connecting the iServer 2 to your PC

This guide provides instructions for connecting and setting up the OMEGA iServer 2 Virtual Chart Recorder and Webserver. Administrator access to the PC may be required for network property changes. Internet access is recommended for automatic firmware updates.

Connection Methods

There are three methods to access the iServer 2 webserver. A successful setup leads to the webserver login page.

Important: If the DHCP method fails, the Bonjour Service may need to be installed. Download it from: https://omegaupdates.azurewebsites.net/software/bonjour

Method 1 - DHCP Setup

Connect the iServer 2 to a DHCP-enabled router using an RJ45 cable. For display models, the assigned IP address will appear on the lower right of the device display. Open a web browser and navigate to the assigned IP address to access the web UI.

Method 2 - Direct to PC Setup - RJ45 (Ethernet)

Connect the iServer 2 directly to your PC using an RJ45 cable. Identify the MAC address on the device's backside label.

Open a web browser and enter the following URL: http://is2-pmegaXXXX.local (replace XXXX with the last 4 digits of the MAC address).

Method 3 - Direct to PC Setup - Micro USB 2.0

Connect the iServer 2 directly to your PC using a micro USB 2.0 cable. Navigate to Windows Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Unidentified Network Connection > Properties > TCP/IPv4 Properties.

Configure the IP address field with: 192.168.3.XXX (where XXX is any value other than 200).

Configure the Subnet Mask field with: 255.255.255.0.

Click OK to finalize and reboot the PC. Open a web browser and navigate to: 192.168.3.200 to access the web UI.

Introduction

This quick start guide is for the iServer 2 series Virtual Chart Recorder and Webserver. For detailed information, refer to the User's Guide.

Materials

Included with your iServer 2:

Additional Materials Needed:

Optional Materials:

Hardware Assembly

All iServer 2 models are wall-mountable and include an optional DIN rail bracket. The distance between wall-mount screw holes is 2 3/4" (69.85 mm).

To attach the DIN rail bracket: locate the two screw holes on the underside of the unit and use the two included screws to secure the bracket.

The iS2-THB-B, iS2-THB-ST, and iS2-THB-DP models include an optional Smart Probe Bracket. Locate the two screw holes on the left side of the unit, screw in the standoff extenders, align the bracket, and secure it with the two included screws.

Sensing Device Setup

The sensing device setup varies for smart probe and thermocouple variants:

Thermocouple Model:

M12 Smart Probe Models:

Refer to the Thermocouple Connection or M12 Smart Probe Connection sections for setup.

Thermocouple Connection

The iS2-THB-DTC accepts up to two thermocouples. Connect sensors according to the thermocouple connector diagram.

M12 Smart Probe Connection

The iS2-THB-B, iS2-THB-ST, and iS2-THB-DP connect to Omega Smart Probes via an M12 connector.

Connect the Smart Probe(s) to a compatible M12 8-pin extension or splitter cable, then plug into the iServer 2 M12 connector. If using the Omega PN#: M12-MT-079-2F splitter cable with an additional Smart Probe, connect it now.

Important: It is recommended to use the iServer 2's digital I/O instead of the connected Smart Probe's I/O to prevent potential device operation errors.

Smart Probe Configuration with SYNC

Configure Smart Probes using Omega's SYNC software. Launch SYNC on a PC with an open USB port and connect the Smart Probe via an Omega Smart Interface (e.g., IF-001 or IF-006-NA).

Important: A Smart Probe firmware update might be necessary for proper operation.

For more configuration details, refer to your Smart Probe's user documentation. Download SYNC software for free at: https://www.omega.com/en-us/data-acquisition/software/sync-software/p/SYNC-by-Omega

Digital I/O and Relays

Wire Digital I/O and Relays using the provided terminal block connector and diagram.

Important: When wiring the terminal block connector for digital I/O, alarms, or relays, ground the unit by connecting a wire to the chassis ground shown in the diagram.

Further configuration for Normally Open/Normally Closed states and triggers can be done in the iServer 2 web UI. Refer to the User's Manual.
