Comms and Trend Manager Suite
TrendServer software is required to set up and run communications to and from the de-
vices and the PC software
TrendServer offers the ability to download and import data communicating using
FTP (File
Transfer Protocol) via the
Ethernet Interface. To use it you must have a device with com-
munications fitted as standard or as an option on the eZtrend QXe recorder with Ethernet
as your active port and the FTP enabled.
TrendServer is part of the TrendManager Suite
complete with its own Communica-
tions Server
function. TrendServer is a fully network aware package which allows data
viewing, archiving and communication over Ethernet and RS485. Ethernet can provide com-
munications limited only by PC resources, and RS485 can provide comms for up to 31 de-
vices. Included as standard is the ability to e-mail, graph, print and export data. Device data
can be entered into any PC on the LAN (Local Area Networks) and automatically viewed and
graphed at any other PC on the LAN.
One of the unique features of the TrendServer software is the Realtime facility in con-
junction with the Communications Server. Realtime data can be retrieved from the device
to a PC via an Ethernet and/or RS485 connection. This data can be viewed, graphed and
logged into the system. Data from the device can be logged to a database and held on a
database server. Remote servers can be added to the comms server to allow access to
remote devices on remote databases not on a local network.

neous systems.
With all Honeywell software, performance improves with more RAM, faster CPUs, and
faster and larger hard disk drives.
NB. It is recommended that at least 100 Mbyte of free hard disk space is available for
archiving data. Please note the more logging and data being stored, the more free space
on the hard disk is required. This is not required with TrendViewer.
