Exploring the iNut PC Settings Interface — 8 Standout Features You Didn't Expect

// System Config tab — hostname, timezone, NTP, USB devices, and operating options

The mandatory starting point before putting the device into real-world operation:

• Hostname — Give it a meaningful name like inut-nhamay-01 to identify it when deploying multiple devices.
• Timezone — Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (UTC+7) for absolutely accurate data timestamps.
• NTP Server — Automatic time synchronization, essential for historical data integrity.
• Auto-restart — Automatically restarts the IEC104 service when an error is detected — ensuring 24/7 uptime.

// SIM 4G tab — APN, mobile connection status, and data usage tracking

No network cable required — iNut PC connects directly via 4G/LTE. Ideal for pumping stations, hydropower plants, and remote monitoring sites without fixed internet:

• APN — m-access (Mobifone), internet (Viettel) — supports all Vietnamese carriers.
• SIM Status — Signal strength, carrier, and real-time connection status.
• Data Usage — Track monthly data consumption, with alerts when it's running low.

// Email & Telegram tab — SMTP configuration and Telegram Bot for real-time alerts

An incident happens at 2 a.m.? iNut PC sends a Telegram alert instantly — no need for round-the-clock staffing:

• Telegram Bot — Enter the Bot Token + Chat ID to receive notifications almost instantly.
• Email SMTP — Gmail, Outlook, or an internal mail server. Ideal for periodic reports.

// API Token tab — create and manage Bearer tokens for the REST API

iNut PC offers a full REST API — any SCADA software, MES, reporting tool, or custom script can connect:

• Create tokens with read-only or read-write scopes, tailored to each application.
• View the list of active tokens and revoke any of them at any time — highly secure.
• Use it in the header: Authorization: Bearer <token>

// FRPC P2P tab — tunnel to access the device from anywhere, no static IP or port forwarding needed

No static IP? Can't open ports? FRPC completely solves the remote-operation problem:

• The device automatically connects out to the FRP server — technicians access the web interface via the assigned domain/port from anywhere.
• Supports SSH and HTTP — browse the web interface or SSH into the command line for deeper debugging.
• Especially useful for hydropower stations and remote pumping stations with only a 4G SIM connection.

// Diagnostics tab — real-time logs, ping/traceroute, VPN status, disk usage, and remote code deployment

Device having issues at a station 200km away? Open Diagnostics — no need to drive out to the site:

• Real-time logs — View the full service log and search for error keywords to diagnose the cause in seconds.
• Ping / Traceroute — Check network connectivity to any IP/domain directly from the device.
• VPN Status — FRPC uptime, number of connections, and data transferred.
• Disk Usage — Remaining storage capacity — important for long-term log retention.

// FUXA Explorer tab — manage the built-in SCADA/HMI project on iNut PC

FUXA SCADA/HMI is built directly into the device — no extra software to buy, no separate server needed:

• An intuitive drag-and-drop interface to build web-based SCADA/HMI screens right on the device.
• IEC104 data is displayed directly on the SCADA screen — no delay, no intermediary.
• Well suited for pumping stations and small-to-medium hydropower plants that need fast, low-cost SCADA.
