4 USING 963 FROM A CLIENT
Information from 963 can easily be accessed using a web browser, over any TCP/IP network (e.g. the company
Intranets, or the Internet). All that is required is the URL of the 963 Server and a valid user name and password.
Once connection to the 963 Server has been made, it is possible to move between pages, adjust analogue values,
adjust digital values, view graphs, and look at alarms, or enter configuration mode on Pre IQ3 controllers by
clicking the appropriate hotspot, depending on your level of access to 963.
When accessed from a web browser the information displayed and features available depend on the type of browser
being used.
963 Clients running on a PC may be of any configuration providing they are running TCP/IP networking protocol,
have an Ethernet card, and a web browser installed. For full graphics capabilities (graphic mode) Internet Explorer
v6.0 or greater, or Firefox 2 (recommended Internet Explorer version 6 or greater) and the SUN JAVA runtime
environment J2SE 5.0 or greater is required. Other browsers will provide a text only display (text mode). 963 clients
running on PDAs require Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition or greater. 963 clients running on smartphones
require Windows Mobile 5 or greater. Clients running on PDAs, the Nokia 9210i, and smartphones only support text
mode.
Note that 963 has not been tested with all devices and Trend cannot guarantee a particular device’s compatibility
with 963 server.

4.1 Basic Use
This section of the manual describes the most basic use of the 963 when accessing it from a web browser. Most of
the information presented to the user is displayed on schematic pages that have been set up. Clicking certain parts of
the page will cause something to happen; exactly what happens is dependent on how 963 has been set up. When the
mouse pointer is moved over a part of the screen that will do something it changes to a hand ( ). These areas of the
screen will generally be obvious because of text that appears in, or next to them.
To access the 963 Server from a web browser:
1. Connect to the 963 Server as described in the ‘Connect to 963 Server’ section of this manual.
2. Log in by entering your user name and password and clicking Log in as described in the ‘Log In’ section of
this manual. Remember the username is case sensitive.
It is necessary to log in so that 963 knows what information and facilities you are able to access.
The 963 Server’s Start up page is displayed. This page provides access to schematic pages, the Device
Viewer, server status, enables you to log off, and will display the alarm viewer if you have access to it, and

Display is displayed.
