So You Want Your Weather Station
to be on the Internet........
Network Weather
Station- With the
Networking option, all Texas Weather Instruments weather stations
can be part of a network without a local PC. All that is needed is a
TWI network weather station and a connection to the Internet. The
WRL-Network, the WPS-Network and the
WLS-Network, function as a web server to view real time
weather and to perform calibration functions. There is also an FTP
server to send data files offsite and a weather server to upload
weather data to the Weather Underground. Weather Underground,
is a weather website which will display and log your weather
data for free on the Internet. The Network Weather Station is
preloaded with HTML pages to let you view realtime data updated once
per second in a browser either locally or worldwide. Other features
include DHCP client or Static IP addressing, Telnet, ICMP support,
NBNS support, AJAX functionality and XML
support.

WeatherWing- Mini web server- With the WeatherWing,
all Texas Weather Instruments weather stations can be part of a
network without a local PC. All that is needed is a TWI weather
station, a WeatherWing and a network connection via an Ethernet
cable or 802.11b WiFi connection. The WeatherWing can function as a
self-contained web server, an FTP server and an Email server all at
the same time. The WeatherWing is preloaded with a weather program
written in Flash to view the active data in a browser either locally
or worldwide. To view the WeatherWing in action go to http://66.138.86.245 . To view data that is
uploaded via FTP every minute, go to http://www.txwx.com/wing/twidata.txt
WeatherView- To use Weatherview32
to upload to the internet you will need the following:
Dial
Up Account- A
TWI Weather Station, Windows computer, modem, a phone line, dial up
internet account with an internet service provider (ISP), an area
for your web page (usually with your ISP) and WeatherView 32
software. The WeatherView 32 software will grab data from the
weather station and display that data according to your preferences.
At an interval of your choosing (a maximum of once every 5 minutes
on a dial up), WeatherView will capture it's screen and hourly data,
dial up your ISP and FTP that image of your screen and your data to
your website or to any website in which you have permission. After
WeatherView 32 has sent the data, it will terminate the dial up
connection with your ISP. Once the files are at your website, you
can incorporate the WeatherView image and the data into your site as
you see fit.
Dedicated Internet Connection- If you have a dedicated connection it is even
simpler. WeatherView will FTP directly to your web
server.
