4.Log Out: When you have finished exploring the IPS-15's Web Interface, click on the "Log Out" button to terminate your connection to the IPS-15.

Note: When you have finished communicating with the IPS-15 unit, it is important to always log off rather than simply closing your Telnet or communications program. When you log off using either the "Log Off" button in the Web Interface, or the /X command in the Text Interface, this ensure that the IPS-15 has completely exited from command mode, and is not waiting for the inactivity timeout to elapse before allowing additional connections.

This completes the introductory overview of the IPS-15 Web Interface. If you wish to see the Text Interface, please proceed to the next section, or refer to Sections 4 and 5 for complete installation and configuration procedures.

3.2.2.The Text Interface

This section provides a brief description of the IPS-15's Text Interface. The Text Interface is a series of simple, ASCII menus, that are used to invoke commands and select configuration parameters. The Text Interface can be used when the unit is contacted via Telnet, modem or Local PC.

Notes:

￿In order to contact the IPS-15 via modem, you must connect an external modem to the IPS-15 Master Unit's Console Port and attach a phone line to the external modem. Please refer to Section 4.3.2 for further instructions regarding external modems.

￿The Console Port can be connected to either a Local PC or an external modem, but not both at the same time.

￿In order to access the IPS-15 Text Menus, your PC must include a communications program, such as

3-6Hyperterminal or ProComm.
