A remote control system for channel configuration on weather station over TCP/IP network

In a weather station, it is needed a network to transmit the data of weather condition from sensors to the base station in a long distances. For the wired network, TCP/IP protocol is widely used in data transfer for weather station. Usually in some cases, we are required to interchange weather sensors in different channels and set up the threshold limit. This threshold limit is used to know which sensor measure the highest condition level and will give the warning alarm to user in base station. This paper propose a remote control system for setting weather station configuration using TCP/IP network remotely. In this purpose system, we can control the sensor channels and set up the threshold limit to the weather station controller remotely. By using the java socket programming, the data packet can be transmitted for the new configuration. For this research, we use client-server mode to arrange the transmission line of request and the response message between the devices. Through the network evaluation, we also analyze the effect of the data packet on this remote control program in TCP/IP network.
