Web Server
3.0 Web Server
The web server feature allows monitoring of the system remotely using any PC that resides on
the same network as the FACP. The web server displays much of the same information that
appears on any annunciator connected to the FACP.
3.1 Web Browser Setup
Before this feature can be accessed the job file must be configured to include the network
information described above in 2.1 Wiring/IP Settings and the "Run Web Services" check box
needs to be selected. If this box is greyed out then a CodeMeter key must be used to activate
a license using the Import Web Services button. A user name and password may also be set
in the configuration job file under the Network Node Info. If a user name and password are not
set the user name will be "admin" and the password will be "mircom" by default.
For optimal performance use the Internet Explorer browser version 6 or later, although other
web browsers are also supported. The web browser used to access the server must be set to
not cache web pages. Requiring the browser to request new information each time the server
page is accessed will ensure that the browser will not display old information that may be out
of date. To remove web site caching in Internet Explorer:
1. Go to the browser's menu bar and select Tools, then select Internet Options at the
bottom of the drop down menu. The Internet Options dialogue box appears.
2. Under the General tab there is a section called Browsing History. From the Browsing
History section press the Settings button. A Temporary Internet Files and History
Settings dialogue box appears.
3. This dialogue box offers several options for when to check for newer versions of stored
pages. Select "Every time I visit the webpage" and press OK.
To access the webpage in an Internet Explorer web browser:
1. Enter the IP assigned to the specific panel followed by "/index.html" in the address bar.
For example if the IP address was “192.168.0.1” the full address would be “192.168.0.1/
index.html”.
2. Press enter and a prompt to enter the user name and password appears.
3. Enter the user name and password and press enter. The FACP can now be monitored
remotely.
3.2 Using the Web Server
The Web Server displays multiple pages that provide various types of information about the
function and operation of the Flex-Net system. In addition, there is information that is primarily
intended for network administrators. It allows them to access the Flex-Net system remotely for
monitoring or troubleshooting purposes. Each of these pages are described below with
accompanying screenshots.
