U.motion Client Touch 7
Technical Manual
Port
Depending on the previous setting, the default port is either 443 (SSL enabled) or
80 (SSL disabled). If the connected server has a special network configuration
(e.g. uses port forwarding) and is reachable only through another port, the
corresponding port can be set here. If you are using a standard version of the
server you can just use the default values already set for this field.
Username
This value refers to the user name the app should use to login to the U.motion
device. This user name must be present in the configuration of the server and
dispose of the necessary permissions to access the visualisation. If this criterion is
fulfilled, the user name can be inserted in this field and – in combination with the
password in the next setting – will cause the app to automatically login to the
server. If this field is left empty, the app will show an extra login window, where
the authentication to the server has to take place.
Password
The password which is required – in combination with the user name explained
above – in order to correctly login to the server.
Show Toolbar
Permits to show / hide the toolbar on the lower edge of the app (with the
buttons HOME, FAVORITES and SETTINGS).
App Autostart
If this option is enabled, the app will be automatically started after a reboot of
the U.motion Client Touch 7. In this way, after every boot the connection to the
server will be established immediately.
Refresh App
This entry refreshes the interface of the software, without clearing the cache of
the U.motion Client Touch 7 (see next point). This process is much faster than the
deletion of the cache and is enough if only small changes to the visualisation
occurred.
Empty Cache
If this menu entry is clicked, the local cache of U.motion Client Touch 7 is
emptied / deleted and at the next connection to the server all necessary data is
downloaded again from the server. This function is necessary whenever changes
are made on the server side (like for example change of the theme, creation of
new rooms etc.). In these cases the cache has to be refreshed before U.motion
Client Touch 7 will show the new configurations.
Password Protection
As already mentioned, this point allows defining a password which protects the
access to the settings menu. If this field is left empty, access to the settings is
granted to everybody clicking on the settings button.
The „Back“ entry will take you back to the main screen of the web app. If parameters of the web app have
been changed within the settings menu, the connection will be refreshed automatically.
Note
:
Since the switching between local and remote access is not required when using the app on
U.motion Client Touch 7 (it will always run in the local network), the corresponding option will be
shown only when using the app on mobile devices.
When starting the app for the first time an advice will be shown that no server has been configured yet. The
use of the app will only be possible if at least the IP address of the targeted U.motion device is inserted.
When leaving the settings page after modifying this value, the app will try to connect to the specified server.
During this procedure a loading screen will be shown, which will be substituted by the home page of the
server as soon it is loaded completely:
