Manage WebControl Connections

The WebControl page is accessed by clicking on the WebControl button (FIG.15). This page allows
you to view all touch panels running the G4WebControl application.
Each G4WebControl-equipped touch panel connected to this Master is indicated by a link. Click on any
of the links to open a new G4WebControl window, displaying the selected panel, using the native
resolution of the target panel. For example, a CA15 panel link opens a new G4WebControl window at
800 x 600 resolution.
To establish a secure connection between the touch panel and the target Master, the panel must be using
a valid username and password (that can be matched to a previously configured user on the target
Master) and the ICSP Connectivity option must be enabled within the System Level Security page.

Compression Options

The checkboxes at the bottom of this page allow you to choose from two compression options. Use
compression to decrease response delay when viewing G4WebControl windows over a bandwidth-
restricted network, or over the Internet. By default, compression options are disabled.
Use Compression allows you to specify that the transmitted data packets be compressed. This
speeds up the visual responses from the panel by minimizing the size of the information
relayed through the web and onto the screen.
Use Low Color allows you to specify the number of colors used to display the image from the
panel be reduced. By reducing the numbers of colors, the size of the information is reduced
and the response delay is decreased.
