Chapter 2 - Field Panel Web Server System Administration

Language Support

User access to the Field Panel Web Server is controlled through individual User Accounts. Each User Account has access levels determined by a system administrator, which grant or deny permissions to work with the specific applications and features of the Field Panel Web Server.

User Accounts are password protected. The passwords are encrypted when they are entered by the user at the Web Server User Interface.

When a User Account is created, a password expiration time can be determined by the system administrator. If a user account is created with an expiration date on the password, and if a user attempts to log in to that account three times using an incorrect password, the User Account will be locked, requiring a system administrator to unlock it. A locked User Account can be unlocked through a modification to the User Account by a system administrator.

For more information about access levels and passwords, see the Users section and the TALON Controllers User's Manual (588-580).

Language Support

Dynamic text refers to text that lists object names, descriptors, state text, and other information that can be defined by the user.

Static text refers to text in the user interfaces (HMI, Web Server user interface, and FINlite Graphics Tool), such as menu titles, labels, error messages, and other information that cannot be modified by the user.

Dynamic text support requires appropriate host computer regional settings or the specified language.

Static text support at the Web Server user interface and FINlite Graphics Tool requires downloading the appropriate language (.mo) files in the appropriate place. See the Setup section and the FINlite Graphics Tool sections for information on selecting a static language.

Static and dynamic text support at the HMI requires downloading the appropriate language files during firmware loading via Firmware Loading Tool (FLT), typically English and a second language (French, Chinese, Korean, or Japanese).

See the TALON Controllers User's Manual (588-580) for more information about language support.

Importing a Language File

Additional language (.mo) files can be downloaded from Vantage Web site into the field panel via FTP or a USB memory device. These language files will then become accessible by the user interface for static text display.
