Use the Username and Password (default is case sensitive admin, admin) to login to the
VBrick. BB01 through BB16 are directories established to receive Billboard content. It is
possible to cut and paste new contents to a Billboard location from a file located anyplace on
the network or on the computer. To view the contents on the VBrick, change the URL in the
Billboard Section of the Integrated Web Server. In this example, the URL for the new file in
IWS Configuration: Billboard would read:
file://./BB03/atm.gif.
Billboard URLs
A URL for the billboard is much like a URL on the Internet. URLs can be local or remote,
and typically point to the source of the billboard to be displayed.
Local URL
A local URL points to a file within the VBrick, which can be downloaded to the VBrick using
a FTP utility program. All local URLs begin with: file://. There are sixteen pre-configured
directories to place custom billboards inside the VBrick. The billboard directories are named
BB01 to BB16.
Example 1
A single page billboard is placed in BB01. It requires one image file. The billboard page is
named VB_1.HTM. The URL, which is not case sensitive, to enter in the Billboard URL box
is:
file://./BB01/VB_1.HTM
Example 2
A multi-page billboard is placed in BB01. It requires four image files, one for each page. The
billboard pages are named VB_1.HTM, VB_2.HTM, VB_3.HTM, and VB_4.HTM. Each file
is connected to the next page within the html file using the legal syntax. The URL to enter in
the Billboard URL box is:
file://./BB01/VB_1.HTM
Remote URL
Example 1
A single page billboard on a remote server with IP Address 172.16.2.79. The name of the
billboard file is VB_1.HTM. The resulting URL is therefore:
http://172.16.2.79/VB_1.HTM
Example 2
A single page on a remote server called www.VBrick.com. The folder name is "billboards".
The name of the billboard file is VB_1.HTM. The resulting URL is therefore:
http://www.VBrick.com/billboards/VB_1.HTM
Billboard File Types
The file types supported are html (.htm), JPEG (.jpg), GIF (.gif) and windows bitmap (.bmp).
Progressive GIF and JPEG are not supported. For the mini-browser to display the images,
the images have to be BMP, GIF, or JPG. Dynamically generated web pages are supported as
long as the output is pure HTML and uses HTML tags that are part of the set as described
below. The server side engine must generate the page. JavaScript and VBScript are not yet
supported. Functions that require these features, like "mouseover", or "onclick" are not
supported.
