3.1 The Web-based User Interface
After having connected the LBRX to a power supply and set the receivers IP address, you can access the receiver's user interface. To do this, start your favorite web browser program (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera or what else Program you prefer). At the address field, where you normally enter the URL of a web page you want to see, type in the IP address of the sat-nms LBRX receiver you want to control.
The receiver shows a web page consisting of a navigation bar at the left side of the browser window and the actual readings of the receiver in the main part of the window. The readings automatically refresh once a second.
The navigation bar at the left contains five buttons which build the receiver's main menu:
- Readings --- This button switches back to the receivers main page you already see when you connect to the receiver. This page displays the actual readings of the receiver.
- Settings --- By clicking to this button you switch to the 'Settings' page where you can view and change the common operational settings of the receiver like frequency or bandwidth.
- Setup --- This button switches to the 'Setup' page which lets you inspect or change less common parameters which usually are set only once to adapt the receiver to it's working environment.
- Info --- After a mouse click to this button, the beacon receiver shows a table with information like the serial number of the device or the revision ID and compilation date of the software.
- Help --- Clicking to this button shows the on-line version of this user manual
