Checking the connection environment and logging in
The [Preparations for starting remote monitoring mode] window will be displayed.

You can verify that your environment supports use of remote monitoring mode. If it doesn’t, you won’t be able to use remote monitoring mode.
If your network has access restrictions, please consult your network administrator and consider removing the restrictions.
Network Requirements :
Communication using outbound TCP: 443 port and TLS intercommunication must be allowed to AWS IoT ("a314maxk2739k7-ats.iot.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com").
Supported example :
-1. Disable SSL Decryption and other functions for "a314maxk2739k7-ats.iot.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com" (port 443)

Setting the measurement group
All data in GENNECT Cloud belongs to a measurement group, which is the unit by which data is managed.
For more information about measurement groups, see the What are measurement groups?.
-
Select the measurement group to which you wish to upload GENNECT acquisition data and instrument data files.
-
Configure automatic file uploads. This setting allows generated instrument data files to be uploaded to the cloud.
ON: Upload instrument data files automatically. Please note that some instrument models and settings will result in larger file sizes, which will use large amounts of mobile data. Automatic uploading is limited to files that are 128 MB or less in size.
OFF: Store instrument data files on the computer and do not upload them automatically. -
Configure automatic time synchronization.
Enabling this setting will synchronize instruments’ clocks once a day. Depending on the instrument model and firmware version, synchronizing the time may cause measurement or integration to stop. In this case, a new file will be created when the time is synchronized. See below for more information.
- Click the [OK] button.
