WebTool Software
The ACMI WebTool software is used to monitor the measurement outputs from
the ACMI and to set and change alarm and network configurations. This soft-
ware runs in a web browser (such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer). To use the
tool, open a web browser then in the address field, type the address of the
BPM-E you wish to access. The software has five buttons at the left side that
open the following screens: Main, Stats, Config, Admin, and Help. You can
access information about the WebTool software by click on the Help button.
Main Screen
The Main screen is the default screen you see when you open the WebTool soft-
ware (Figure 6, page 16). The Main screen identifies the ACMI at the top of the
window. The center of the screen displays measurement data that is being
received from the ACMI. You can set the refresh rate from 1 second to 60 sec-
onds (how frequently the software updates the data from the ACMI). At the bot-
tom of the window, the status bar displays various information about the
software and uses three alert colors, red - a fatal error (cannot establish connec-
tion, connection lost), yellow - a warning (cannot complete a user request, user
does not have access permission), gray - normal operation.
For more information about the Main screen features, refer to the help section
in the software (click on the Help button).
The alarm condition area (Figure 7, page 16) will display three conditions

No alarm (green text) - no alarm condition exists

Latched (red text) - an alarm condition did occur but its cause has been
fixed or the cause no longer exists.

Alarm (red text) - an alarm condition that has occurred and has not
gone away or been reset is identified by text (VSWR, High Pwr, Low
Pwr, or any combination of these if more than one alarm exists).
You can reset the alarm at the ACMI by pressing the reset button or by clicking
on the Reset Alarm button on the Web Tool Main screen. If the cause of the
alarm is still present, the message cannot be reset.
