3.1 The Web-based User Interface

After having connected the to a power supply and set the power sensors IP address, you can access the power sensor'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 power sensor you want to control.

The power sensor shows a web page consisting of a navigation bar at the left side of the browser window and the actual readings of the power sensor 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 power sensor's main menu:

• State --- This button switches back to the power sensor's main page you already see when you connect to the power sensor. This page displays the actual readings of the power sensor.
• Settings --- By clicking to this button you switch to the 'Operational Settings' page where you can view and change the operational settings of the power sensor.
• Setup --- By clicking to this button you switch to the 'Installation Settings' page where you can view and change the basic settings of the power sensor.
• Event Log --- By clicking to this button you switch to the 'Event Log' page where you can view the events of the power sensor.
• Info --- After a mouse click to this button, the power sensor 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
