Data to Server function provides you with the possibility to set up senders that transfer data collected from Modbus slaves {{#ifeq:{{{bluetooth}}}|1|or Bluetooth devices|}} to remote servers.
The <b>Data to Server</b> feature provides you with the possibility to set up data senders that collect data from various sources and periodically send it to remote servers.

To add a new data sender, click the '''Add''' button:
==Data Senders==

A <b>Data Sender</b> is an instance that gathers and periodically sends collected data to a specified server. The Data Senders list is empty by default so, in order to begin configuration you must add a new data sender first. To add a new data sender, click the 'Add' button.


===Configure data sender===
[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_data_to_server_data_senders_add_button_v3.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 
After this you should be redirected to the newly added data sender's configuration page.

Refer to the table below for descriptions on data sender configuration fields.


When you add a new data sender, you will be redirected to its configuration window. The figure below is an example of that window and the table below provides information on the fields that it contains:
<b>Note</b>: these tables have coloring schemes to indicate which fields can be seen with different configuration.

The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version .


Summary

The Data to Server feature provides you with the possibility to set up data senders that collect data from various sources and periodically send it to remote servers.

Note: On {{{name}}}, Data to Server is additional software that can be installed from the System → [[{{{name}}} Package Manager|Package Manager]] page.

If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

Data Senders

A Data Sender is an instance that gathers and periodically sends collected data to a specified server. The Data Senders list is empty by default so, in order to begin configuration you must add a new data sender first. To add a new data sender, click the 'Add' button.

After this you should be redirected to the newly added data sender's configuration page.

Refer to the table below for descriptions on data sender configuration fields.

Note: these tables have coloring schemes to indicate which fields can be seen with different configuration.
