Chapter 3: Basic Operations
The operating platform for the EVR1500 environmental monitor appliance
uses the Linux ® 2.4 kernel and is configured through a web browser
application. The web application requires the Java J2SE Runtime Environment
(1.4.2 or later) for system configuration, application setup and data
presentation. The Java applet is installed on your PC from the EVR1500
environmental monitor appliance when you type the appropriate URL in the
web browser address field.
Launching the Web Browser GUI
After you have installed the EVR1500 environmental monitor appliance, you
are ready to launch the web application’s GUI. The web GUI provides you with
easy-to-navigate screens for configuring the network, sensor inputs /outputs

To launch the web GUI:
1. If the J2SE Runtime Environment (1.4.2 or later) is not running on your
computer, load the applet from the Sun Microsystems web site by typing
the following URL in the web browser address bar:
http://java.sun.com/J2se/downloads.html
2. From the Sun Microsystems web page, download the J2SE Runtime
Environment (1.4.2 or later). Once the fi le is downloaded, install it on your
computer and reboot.

browser address fi eld. (For example, if your EVR1500 environmental
monitor appliance has the IP address 192.168.1.53, type http://192.168.1.53
in the web browser address fi eld.) This action loads the Java applet. The
