Manual
Version
1.13
Description
The RM-4 user interface provides the basic tools to configure the RM-4, to monitor the RM-4
system operation, and to manage the RM-4 system files. As an applet, it is downloaded from the
RM-4 server situated on the RM-4, and the functions in the applet communicate with the server
through an Internet browser. As an application, it can be started from a command line prompt in the
window or a desktop icon.
The user interface enables a client at a portable or desktop computer to connect to an RM-4
through a TCP/IP link. The client can examine and change the configuration of the RM-4 system,
and then remotely update the system configuration. The user interface also enables a client to
request and display the state-of-health information of the RM-4 operation. To update the
executable programs and the supporting files on an RM-4, a client can use the user interface to
examine the file system on the RM-4 and then transfer the new version of a file to the RM-4.
