To see if your controller is set up right to do this, you need to Hyperterminal into it.

1. Open the Windows program, Hyperterminal. In Windows2000, it is located under: Start/Programs/Accessories/Communications/Hyperterminal.
2. Choose a name for your connection and click OK.
3. Pick your Com port (1 or 2) and click OK.
4. Under Port Settings, change the Bits per Second to 38400 and the Flow Control to None – Click OK.
5. When the window opens, type help, and you will get a list of commands. This means you are connected.
6. Once in, type weatherinfo and you will see something like this:

WEATHERINFO
WEATHER IP:216.253.95.35 Port=80
WEATHER ZIP CODE:70058
WEATHER URL:/weather/xml.php?zip=%05d

These are the correct values, except that you need to set your own zip code.
To do this type:

setweatherzip (zipcode)

If the “d” is missing at the end of the weather URL, type:
setweatherurl:default

The IP is the IP of our weather server.

To see if a zip code is a valid one in our server, go to the Internet and put in the following URL, substituting your zip code:

216.253.95.35/weather/xml.php?zip=70058

In CBAS, you have to make some points through the Database menu. Click Add a Point and give it a name like Web Humidity and hit Next. Select Analog and Next. Select Software and hit Next. Select System and hit Next. Scroll down the list and select Web Outside Humidity.

You will also have to come back and add Web Outside Update Time as well as the other points you need from the web. Once the Update Time is added, the value must be set between 10 and 240 minutes.

There is another Point that has to be added: Zip Code. Through the database menu, Go to Add a Point, name it Zip Code, choose Counter, choose Software, choose System, and choose Zip Code.

You should get some values 10 minutes after going into Real Mode.
