CONFIGURING THE WEB SERVER
ADDING WEB PAGES
Username (Max 31 characters) and Logon Password (Max 15 characters). Both
are case sensitive. It is your responsibility to use an external firewall to prevent
unauthorized access if the remote control facility is enabled, as the login control
may be defeated by certain advanced hacking techniques, and is not warranted
by Red Lion Controls.
ADDING WEB PAGES
In addition to the facilities described above, the web server supports the display of generic
web pages, each of which contains a predefined list of tag values. These pages are created by
pressing the Create Web Page button below the web server properties, and are stored in a list
similar to that used for display pages, data logs and so on.
Each web page has the following properties…
• The Title property is used to identify the web page in the menu presented to the
user via their web browser. Although the title is translatable, current versions of
Crimson use only the US version of the text.
• The Refresh property is used to indicate whether or not the web browser should
be instructed to refresh the page contents automatically. Update rates between 1
and 8 seconds are supported. Note that the amount of flicker exhibited by the
web browser will vary according to the exact package used and the performance
of the machine being employed. The update is not intended to be flicker-free.
• The Contents property is used to indicate which tags should be included on the
page. The first list shows the selected tags, while the second shows those that are
available within the database. Tags can be added to the page by double-clicking
them in the right-hand list; they can be removed by double-clicking them in the
left-hand list, or by pressing the Del key while the tag is selected. The Up and
Down buttons can be used to move tags within the list. Drag-and-drop operation
may one day be implemented to allow easier manipulation of this list!
