__NOTOC__
System page provides basic information about your Meteobridge system. Beside selection of time zone and an option to change system password it is mainly a display panel.

Meteobridge is a device that is easy to use and which should not raise a demand for extensive support. However, there is a forum, where you can share experiences, questions, wishes with other users.

Forum is part of Meteohub Forum: [http://forum.meteohub.de/viewforum.php?f=54&sid=c8736ec03d0ef75afa55c16f324623bd Meteobridge Forum]
This section gives you information about meteobridge hardware, total RAM capacity and how much of that is already in use, which should not go beyond 90%. It also shows version of used Linux kernel and version of Meteobridge application software.

==Security==

===Release Log===
Security section allows you to change the password that protects meteobridge web interface against unauthorized access. This password is in sync with the password for user root when you try to login via ssh. You can easily change the password by typing in the new password twice.

To get the latest relaease running on your rig, just do a reboot or power-cycle.
  
==Localization==
 
This sections shows date und time in UTC and in the timezone you have selected. If no timezone is selected Meteobridge takes UTC as you local timezone. Please select timezone matching your weather station's location. When changing timezone a reboot is required to get all system services adapted to this change.
 
  
==Network Status==
+
====Current Version====
This section shows IP or WLAN IP used by Meteobridge regarding if meteobridge is working in a cabled or wireless environment. It also displays the system's MAC. You also find network parameters like gateway, netmask and DNS meteobridge is using at the moment. If you have made changes to the network setup, this is not reflected here until Meteobridge is rebooted. WAN IP does report IP your router uses to connect to the Internet. When there is no Internet connection an error message will displayed instead.

released 6th May 2013:
 +
* fixes a bug that still prevents from altimeter pressure being used for CWOP
  
==Messages==
 
Messaging section shows system notifications, mainly around status of data logging functions of Meteobridge. When Meteobridge does not work as expected, a look into this log might give hints what goes wrong.

====Version 1.4====
When you press "Save and Apply" new pasword and timezone settings are stored. Reboot button does not store data, but will initiate a reboot of your Meteobridge device.

released 3rd May 2013:
 +
* Dutch language support (translations provided by user "Wim")
 +
* changed gust value for weatherbug network to "todays max gust"
 +
* fixes a unit conversion problem with evapotranspiration on solar sensor equipped vantage weather stations
 +
* fixes the low humdity bug for CWOP data transfers
 +
 
 +
 
 +
====Version 1.3====
 +
released 21th April 2013:
 +
* fixes a stability bug on new LOOP2 supporting Davis Vantage drivers
 +
* has some modules included to allow 3G modem support based on Huawei's E160 adapter (still experimental and to be formally released in one of the coming versions, profiles for "t-mobile.de" and "vodafone.de" do exist for testing purposes)
 +
* a new firmare release (version 1.2) is ready for download (in "getting started" section). This firmware is only needed when aiming at 3G operation.
 +
 
 +
released 13th April 2013:
 +
* added support for LOOP2 packets when using a Davis Vantage or Vue with firmware 1.90 or newer. This makes barometer readings more precise and better in sync with Vantage console.
 +
* fixes a problem with send email authentification
 +
 
 +
released 7th April 2013:
 +
* fxing a bug uploading average windspeed to previmeteo
 +

* removing evapotranspiration values (which did appear randomly) from solar sensor data, if not Vantage station.
 +
* adding a display that shows how much of internal data send buffer is currently occupied (system tab)
 +
* reducing memory footprint of data send process to avoid triggering oom linux mechanisms
 +
* doing a reboot in case of oom situations by issueing a kernel panic instead of trying to stop some applications via oom_killer.
