5.2 Overview of Web UI
The Web UI runs on an integrated Web Server running on the DX-4400 to provide a high-level user interface to
manage and control the product. As shown in the
Figure 14 above, the Web UO provides a menu on the left and
a window on the right for user input. A context sensitive Help button it always available on the top right. Clicking
on the Help button opens another window providing context relevant information.
The Web UI menu is designed to be intuitive and self-navigating and where possible and offers the user a higher
level of abstraction by minimizing the need to establish a user connection via RS232 using a Terminal Emulator
program or a connection via a TCP/IP or SSH session. Using this interface, it is possible to execute all of the
user Commands discussed in previous sections of this Manual. Each component of the WEB UI menu is
