8. Remote Monitoring System How is data collected? – One way communication – Data collected is transmitted to hosting web server, but: Hosting server cannot transmit data to users computer Collects device data via SNMP

9. Remote Monitoring System How is data transmitted? – FTP – file transfer protocol – HTTP – hypertex transfer protocol – HTTPS – secure hypertex protocol (encrypted) – Certification Authority is required
