HTTP
HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) is the foundation protocol of the World Wide Web (www) and can be
used in any client-server application involving hypertext. HTTP makes use of TCP (transmission control
protocol) for client to server connection and IP (internet protocol) for internetworking. The controller’s
standard HTTP protocol web pages provide integrated site information with an enhanced graphical user
interface. The on-board HTTP web pages server is password protected for read/write privilege as mention in
Section 4. Further access restrictions can be implemented using the software read/write disable capabilities
configured through the front panel. The controller has a configurable timeout for connections that remain
idle more than a user-programmed time period.
The best way to learn the web pages is to go through each tab and look at the features. The high level tabs
were described in Section 4. There is much user friendly information and configuration available within
these tabs.

Obtaining a chronological view of the alarm events is also available by selecting Alarm History from the
