Setting up Cloud History Data on iNet

Until now the iNet could only use its internal memory to save historical data. This generally limited the amount of history data to about 8 hours. Starting with version 474 the iNet can now utilize cloud data storage to augment its history recording. This makes the the recording period virtually unlimited and much more secure since the data is stored and backed up on the cloud servers. The following tutorial shows you how set up cloud history data storage on your iNet. There are many other advantages when using an iNet in your installation. For more information about what iNet brings to the table, click here.
