Web Access Chapter 3: Remote Operation

All values displayed on these pages are static, that is, they do not reflect changes that occurred following the initial display of the page. For example, the current clock source and UTC time and date, which always appear on the Home and Time Status pages, are frozen at the instant the web page first displayed and do not automatically update. For the most recent values, click Reload or Refresh on the tool bar at the top of your web browser, or right click the area around the parameter display and select Reload Frame or Refresh from the menu that appears.

3.1.3Configuration Control Login Page

Accessed from the Home page (click Controls), the Configuration Control Login page is your gateway to remote query and configuration of TimeVault. After successfully logging in, when you display this page, or any of the control pages, navigation buttons for all control pages appear at the left of the window.

Any change you make on a control page causes TimeVault to reset.

After any reset, do not submit further parameter changes until the unit fully reinitializes, that is, until you see the correct time and date on the front panel display.

To log in, enter the user name operator (you will not be able to edit parameters if you log in any other way) and the default password mercury in the corresponding fields on this page, then click Press to Continue, located just below the password box. The page instantly refreshes. Look in the Status Message Window for the “Login passed.” message to see whether or not the login was successful (you may have to scroll down to see it). If the Status Message Window shows that login failed, re-enter the user name and default password and click Press to Continue again.

As with all password protection, to ensure security, please change the default password as soon as possible using the “F100 P” command (see page 4-64). Password changes can only be made using the serial or Telnet interface. Maximum password size is 10 characters.

Status Message Window

Regularly check the Status Message Window. If, for example, a processing error or transient network problem causes one or more of your entries to fail, a notification message appears here. If this happens, simply resubmit the entry. If you encounter repeated failures, use the Telnet or serial interface to make those entries.
