Introduction
The "Data Terminal 2", is a modular system for recording and processing Personnel Grounding Tester's test data. A basic system consists of:
- PGT120.COM (1)
- and Data Terminal (2).
Test data can be stored for one month inside the device. The data can be retrieved by a web browser from any computer when connected to a network.
Test data can be imported to Time Attendance or Access Control systems via network interface.
The user identification can be made with many USB HID input devices (RFID, barcode, magnetic card, keyboard)
Multiple devices can be networked together and managed by one server component. User data and measurement data can be managed central.
An open user- and measurement data interface allows end-user customization
Remote PC functions when connected to network:
- List of test data with coloured marking of failed tests
- Printed test results list
- WEB-interface for easy configuration
- German and English support

Interface Connection Example:
Installation
Connect the PGT120.COM serial interface to the RS232 socket of the TouchScreenMonitor TC18 Four USB ports are available on the Data Terminal TC18. Connect the Input device directly to one USB port. Connect the optional extensions to the other USB ports. For multiple extensions use a USB-HUB as distributor.
If desired, connect the Ethernet cable to ETH.
Connect the power supply to the Data Terminal.
 |
Use only the original power supply. Rebooting is required to activate new connected USB devices. |
Getting Started
The terminal is ready within 50 seconds after plugging-in the power supply. If the Ethernet cable is connected, the device tries to configure its network by DHCP. Therefore a DHCP-server should be available within the network. A label indicating the assigned IP Address will be printed on system start-up if the label printer is connected. The IP-Address is displayed on the LCD if connected.
System clock can be set by DHCP as well (042 timeserver).
The configured DHCP hostname will be sent to the DHCP server if available. If DHCP configuration fails the default IP-Address 192.168.1.1 will be used.
It is possible to enter a different IP-Address manually. However this is not recommended because the device has no reset capability and would not be accessible any more in case of false configuration. Read section "ManUal IP-Address ConfigUration" for this. Alternatively you could prefix a router with required functionality. Entering a fixed IP-Address will deactivate DHCP.
To configure the Data Terminal enter the assigned IP-Address into your browser's URL-filed. The first access opens the configuration page without asking for a password.
Adjust and safe the settings to continue.
Important settings:
- The Terminal's time zone, date and time must first be set in System settings.
- Measurement data - "footwear in series" must be set according to the connected COM DIP- switches.
After saving the settings you find the two optional sections Network and Advanced in the Configuration menu.
Optional settings:
- If desired you can configure a fixed IP-Address in section Network.
- Settings for User data synchronization are available in section Advanced.
Operation
Configuration
Administration password is required for configuration. The default login is User: admin Password: admin. The user can change the password.
System settings
- Company name or independent text. This will be printed on the first line of each label. The user ID can be printed instead, if user identification is enabled and this field is
- WEB-interface language

Test data
Test data view is the main entry page. A configurable number of records are displayed, including test data, date, time and test result. Measurement data view is updated every 20 seconds.
The current temperature and the relative humidity is recorded if the T/H-Sensor is connected.
If the Input Device is connected, the ID shows up and measurements without ID will be invalid.
If the ID is linked to a username, then the username is displayed instead.
System Info
- Display of software versions
- System time
- Device's IP and MAC-address
- Last measurement poll-time
- Last sync of user data and amount of records
- Connected USB devices and, if available their USB-ID
History
One month's test data storage is separated for each day. Use the browser's printing function to print.
Manual IP-Address Configuration
Make sure you have an arbitrary USB memory stick (Mass Storage Device) ready to use. This is required to reactivate default settings in case of misconfiguration.
- Log into the configuration page with your username and password.
- Select Configuration -> Network.
- Enter the desired IP-Address and associated Netmask carefully.
- If required, a gateway address can be
- Save the settings and reboot the device with Configuration -> Reboot.
Recovery
If you've entered an incorrect IP-Address, the device is not accessible within the network any more.
To rectify the faulty settings you've to connect a USB memory stick and reboot the device. With connected memory stick the device will boot with default network settings according to section "Getting started". You can follow the instructions "Getting Started" to make the changes and reboot the device without memory stick again.
Extended Configuration
Advanced
Advanced settings for measurement data retrieval and user data synchronization are available here.
It is recommended to use HTTPS instead of HTTP as secure communication for measurement and user data transfer. You can additionally define a password for the communication.
- Access password: Password for the connection
- User-ID check: Access for only persons defined in the user database (no anonymous access)
- Delete the user database
- Upload user data via CSV
The file must contain the column ID and Name.
Lines with # at the beginning are ignored. Use Semicolon or Tab-Stop as Separator and file extension TXT or CSV. Character coding is UTF-8
