Does the DT80 range support FTP?

Yes, data store and other files can be moved using FTP via Ethernet or RS232/PPP.

The DT80 range logger products are capable of both FTP Server and FTP Client (note: FTP Client for data files only - from version 6.10) operation.

This is sometimes termed 'FTP Push' as the logger initiates the data file transfer. See these examples for automatically transferring data files.

Can the DT80 range send email?

Yes. Email out from all models of the DT80 range was introduced in version 9.08 firmware Simply down load V9.08 firmware from DT80 range Download page and update the firmware you your DT80 range logger and the email feature will be available.

My DT80 has a static IP address on my network but I can't send Email of FTP data?

Check you have configured the DNS settings in the DT8x profile to match the network settings.

When you use a domain name address (e.g. my.Logger.Network) the network has a Domain Name Server that translates the domain name to an IP address (e.g. 10.70.20.123). When the DT80 has been assigned a static IP address you also need to set the IP address of the networks Domain Name Server
