1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION BS1200
The BS1200 is a WIFI receiver station for the AREXX Multilogger system.
Like the BS510 USB and BS1000 Lan receivers, the BS1200 receives AREXX
sensor data via wireless transmission and sends these data via a WIFI
Network interface to a PC.
The WIFI link enables the BS1200 to send measured values wirelessly via the
TCP/IP protocol. This interface allows the transmission of Messenger
e-mails and HTTP requests as well. In addition to that, the built-in web
server can display recent measurement values. You will have wireless WIFI
access to this built-in web server with all other network items like a (Laptop)
PC, smartphones and tablets.
Contents of the package:
- BS-1200 WIFI multilogger receiver
- Power supply
- USB cable
- CD-ROM with all the necessary Software and manuals
* The right of return does not apply after opening the plastic bags containing parts and components.
* Read the manual thoroughly prior to mounting the unit.
* Be careful when handling tools.

2.2. Getting Started
The BS-1200 comes with an adapter and USB cable. The adapter connects
to the back 5V/±500mA. The USB cable can be used to connect to the
BS-1200 directly to a PC, then BS-1200 will operates exactly the same as a
BS510 receiver.
You can also use the USB cable to ash the new rmware for a new soft-
ware update.
3. First network connection
This paragraph describes how to connect the BS-1200 to your local Wi
network. For this we need the networkcong tool which can be found in the
tools menu of the logger software (be sure you have the latest version).
2.1. General settings
The BS1200 factory setting for Wi is:
security: none
ssid: ssid
Normally, you won’t have these settings, so we have to adjust the BS1200
to match your local Wi settings. The settings can be set with the network-
cong tool; you can start it from the ‘tools’ menu of the temperature logger
software.
In short, you scan for a network, select it and set its passphrase. After
pressing the write button a connection will made by the BS1200.
Connect the BS1200 via usb to a pc with the latest temperature logger soft-
ware. Start the networkcong tool; the following dialog will be displayed:
It shows empty network settings.
When you press the read button, you obtain
the current status of the bs1200.
You will nd the bs1200 is trying to connect
(to the ‘ssid’ network), but a timeout is
given since the attempt fails.

Note that some extra elds are displayed now concerning the Wi-connection.
(The tool detected that a Wi-enabled module is accessed).
Now we can scan for networks using the ‘scan’ button.
The status line will show the scan started, and after some seconds when the
scan has nished. The SSID eld is a combobox that will show a list with
available networks, including the current ssid (‘ssid’ for now).

Now the new info is saved in the BS1200 and it will initiate a new connection.
As indicated on the screen we switch back to the ‘Read’ tab and click on the
‘Read’ button again.
When the module is connected, it shows ‘Wi status: Connected’, and on top
the message ‘Network conguration valid’.
The obtained ipaddress and network name can be found on the display.
Normally, you can use the networkname in the url eld of your browser to
access the bs1200. (Please prepend ‘http://’ before the networkname). If that
is not working, the bs1200 should also be accessible by its ip address.

4. BS-1200 WEBSERVER
The obtained ipaddress and network name with the Networkcongtool can
be used to get access to the BS1200 webserver.
Normally, you can use the networkname in the url eld of your browser to
access the BS1200. (Please prepend ‘http://’ before the networkname). If
that is not working, the BS1200 should also be accessible by its ip address.
The embedded Web server contains several pages with recent data. There is
an administrative section available for various settings.
The BS1200 web server can be found at the address given by the network
name. Make sure that any rewall and/or browser blockades are removed
which are applicable to the BS1200.
The webbrowser start page shows for each sensor the most recent measu-
rement (Fig.7). The value presented is the latest sensor measurement. The
time display is formatted according to the default settings on the computer.
The RSSI column gives an indication of the strength of the received radio
signal.
