Web Portal Base Stations
A base station is an individual data logger. In Base Stations you will be able to see all your base stations which have been configured via the Ontoto Connect App during device installation. Here you can monitor the status of your base stations and battery. Moreover, you will be able to edit info and update the configuration of your base station.
| Terminology for Base Stations Status | |
| Active | the data logger is transmitting data without any issue. |
|---|---|
| Data Fault | the data logger is transmitting data however with an issue such as sensor failure due to connectivity or damage. |
| Inactive | the data logger has not transmitted data for two consecutive transmission periods due to issues such as poor network connectivity, battery failure, network failure, water damage, etc. |
| Terminated | the data logger has been terminated. |

Incoming Data Log
In incoming data log, you will be able to view the data information of the base station such as data packet, sensor data, rssi (Received Signal Strength Indicator) and battery voltage.
Edit Info
The device GPS coordinates set via the Ontoto Connect App can be viewed here. If the GPS location was not configured during device installation or an amendment is required, the GPS coordinates can be updated manually.
Update Configuration
In update configuration, you will be able to see the current configuration and update the device and vibrating wire sensor configuration.
Update Device Configuration
The device name, sensor reading, transmission period, and alarm settings of a device can be updated remotely.
Alarm settings: Groundwater and Vibrating wire data loggers
The device can be programmed to immediately transmit when a sensor reading exceeds a predefined threshold. When the alarm has been triggered, it will latch (remain activated).
While the alarm is latched, the device will continue to transmit at the scheduled transmission frequency. Once the reading drops below the hysteresis threshold the alarm will unlatch and reset, allowing the alarm to trigger again.
| The configurable parameters for each alarm are | |
| High threshold | when the reading exceeds this value, the device will transmit. |
|---|---|
| Low threshold | when the reading drops below this value, the device will transmit. |
| Hysteresis | the deadband range to prevent the alarm from triggering successively. |
| The configurable parameters for each alarm are | |
| High threshold | when the reading exceeds this value, the device will transmit. |
|---|---|
| Low threshold | when the reading drops below this value, the device will transmit. |
| Hysteresis | the deadband range to prevent the alarm from triggering successively. |
Alarm settings: Pulsar
The device can be programmed to immediately transmit when the accumulated pulse count exceeds a threshold. When the alarm has been triggered, it will latch (remain activated).
While the alarm is latched, the device will instantaneously transmit. Once the count drops below the threshold or window threshold the alarm will unlatch and reset, allowing the alarm to trigger again.
| The configurable parameters for each alarm are | |
| Single period threshold | pulse count within a single 10 minute period. |
|---|---|
| Window length | 10 minute ticks. |
| Window threshold | pulse count within the window length. |
| The configurable parameters for each alarm are | |
| Single period threshold | pulse count within a single 10 minute period. |
|---|---|
| Window length | 10 minute ticks. |
| Window threshold | pulse count within the window length. |
Note:
You can use the parameters in either of the following settings:
1. Single period threshold; or
2. Window length plus Window threshold; or
3. All three parameters.
Cancel Pending Configuration
After sending the new configuration to the device the status will remain as “Pending Config”. The update will be sent on the next transmission of the data logger. If you want to you can cancel the configuration by clicking “Cancel Pending Config”.
Note:
Cancel Pending Configuration is not possible for Satellite device. Pending configurations need to be transmitted to the device prior to sending a new configuration.
Update Sensor Configuration
You will be able to update the sensor configuration only for vibrating wire data logger.
