Application #1
Communicating with Your Site Controller and Tank Gauge
Application 1: You are on vacation in Florida and you need to communicate directly with both your site controller and the tank monitor at one of your sites.
Solution: As long as you have Internet access, signing on to your secure Infinity web site will provide you with the ability to communicate with both devices through the same connection from anywhere in the world.
Step-by-Step:
