About thin clients and mobile access
6. In the Update Rates area, in the Alarm, Trend, and Process Values boxes, type how often (in milliseconds) each
type of page should update its data during run time.
Please note that the more quickly you update the pages, the more of a load you are putting on your
network and the project runtime server. In most cases, you should leave the default values.
Log on to the Mobile Access website during run time
Log on to your Mobile Access website to view the configured alarms, process values, and trends during project
run time.
Please note that the Mobile Access website uses HTML5 (including CSS3 and AJAX) for its animated effects
and real-time data exchange. That means you must use an HTML5-compatible browser to access the website.
Most modern browsers are HTML5-compatible, but browser features are constantly changing and the HTML5
specification itself is technically still in draft form. As such, we cannot give a definitive list of supported
browsers or platforms. We can, however, give a list of browsers and platforms on which the Mobile Access
feature has been validated:
Platform
Android Gingerbread (v2.3.x)
Browser
Android Browser (default browser)
Dolphin (v7.3.0)
Android Ice Cream Sandwich (v4.0.x)
iOS 4 (v4.3.x)
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
Google Chrome (default browser)
Safari (default browser)
Google Chrome (v18.0.1025.162m)
Safari (v5.1.5)
Internet Explorer 9 (v9.0.8112.16421)
Note: We do not recommend using Internet Explorer, because it does not fully support the
graphical styling (e.g., background gradients and rounded corners) of Mobile Access.
To log on to your project's Mobile Access website:
1. On the client computer, in your web browser, go to: https://host/ma/logon.aspx
• If the host is a computer on your local network and it is using a self-signed certificate for SSL, then
host is the name of the computer. For example: https://development-pc/ma/logon.aspx
• If the host is not on your local network and it is using a certificate signed by a certificate authority,
then host is the server address. For example: https://scada.ourcompany.com/ma/logon.aspx
You must include the prefix https to connect securely via SSL. You may choose not to connect via SSL
(if the server allows it), but we do not recommend it. For more information, see Enable SSL encryption in
Microsoft IIS on page 466.
