About the Basic View

14 Using Your Appliance

Using the Simplified Basic View

Due to the limited screen space and resolution available on PDAs, you will note a number of significant

differences in the Basic View with accessed with your PDA. The most significant difference is that unlike

the standard Basic View, which shows the Navigation, Sensor Data, and Action/Information panes

simultaneously, the simplified Basic View shows only a single region of the Basic View interface at any

time.

When you initially log in, you will see only the contents of the Navigation pane. From this pane, you can

“drill down” to the appliance and sensor data that you require. Using the PDA’s pen, select About to

display information about your appliance and all connected pods, or select the appliance or other

component (such as a pod or the Alerting Sensors group) to switch to the Sensor Data view for the

selected item. From the Sensor Data view, you can access graphs, alert reports, and camera images.

Select Back to return to the Navigation pane from the Sensor Data pane.

Viewing Graphs

To display a graph of environmental data that has been collected from a sensor, simply select from the

Reading column the current sensor reading beside the sensor that you want to graph. By default a graph

displaying data collected over the past 60 minutes is shown. Use the Time drop box to change the amount

of data to be graphed. Select Refresh to refresh the contents of the graph. Select Back to return to the

Sensor Data view from the Graph view.

Viewing Alerts

To display a list alerts associated with the selected component, simply select any current Alert reading

from the Status column to switch to the Alerts View. A list of alerts that are currently being reported by

the component you selected from the Navigation View is displayed. To include alerts that have occurred

in the past 24 hours but that have been resolved, check the Include Returned to Normal Alerts check box

in the Alerts View. Select Back to return to the Sensor Data view from the Alerts view.

For additional Alert Details, select any of the alerts that are listed in the Alerts View. Select Back to

return to the Alerts view from the Alert Details view.

Viewing Camera Images

To display the images currently being captured by a camera that is integrated with or connected to your

appliance, select the camera pod or the appliance from the Navigation pane, and then select the camera

link from the Sensor Data view. A camera image (in 160x120 mode, by default) is displayed. To change

the display mode, select a new setting from the Mode drop box. To change the rate at which the image is

updated, select a new setting from the Rate drop box. Select Back to return to the Sensor Data view from

the camera view.

Configuring Your Appliance

Just like the standard Basic View, the simplified Basic View provides some simple sensor configuration

capabilities to assist you during the initial appliance installation process. Select from the Navigation pane

the appliance, pod, or other device you want to configure. Then, in the Sensor Data pane for that device,

select Setup. The settings available for configuration will be displayed in the resulting Configuration

pane.For example, you can:

• Configure and uniquely label any external sensors that may be connected to external sensor ports on

a NetBotz 320 or 420 appliance, Sensor Pod 120, or 4-20mA Sensor Pod

• Configure and uniquely label any devices that are being monitored using Device Crawlers.

• Specify output types and labels for each relay on output control devices connected to your

appliance.
