that sets the IP (internet protocol) address of the rack
automatically. This number is necessary to establish
communication with the rack. The address is available
by running a command prompt, the “ipconfig” command
as shown in Figure 2. Note that the Vertex M has two
Ethernet interfaces: the address of “
External_Ethernet
”
is the relevant one, as shown in the image below.

A.13.3 Basic Desktop Station Setup
This adapts a desktop computer for viewing the Niagara
HMI. In this basic configuration, event history and
data trend are available. But the following features are
unavailable remotely:
• Chemcam viewer
• Configuration editor
• Event database export
• Concentration trend database export
A.13.3.1 Installing Java Runtime Environ-
ment Software
The Java runtime environment must be installed on the
desktop to view Niagara Racks. If this is not installed
on your PC, you must install it to use the virtual Vertex
M: Click on the
Free Java Download
button on the
webpage (
http://www.java.com
) and follow the prompts.
A.13.3.2 Install Adobe Reader Software
Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to view this
Technical Handbook on the remote station. This
may be downloaded from
www.adobe.com
. Click on
<Get Adobe Reader> and follow the prompts.
A.13.3.3 Create HMI account
Creating multiple HMI accounts is useful to facilitate
using the HMI security system to control access to the
HMI’s features. This is described in
Section 4.6.6
of
the Vertex M Technical handbook. The default account
has the username “administrator” with the password
“administrator”.
A.13.3.4 Starting the Niagara Remote Dis-
play
The Niagara remote display is presented in Microsoft
Internet Explorer, versions IE6 and IE7.
Type the Vertex M rack’s IP address in the IE Address
bar to start the virtual Vertex M display. The address
must begin with http:// and must end with “:88” In the
example, the URL http://158.100.40.130:88 displays
the virtual Vertex M, shown in the following page. The
initial startup may take a few moments before the login
window appears.
