24 8900NET Instruction Manual
Using the 8900NET GUI
Once the frame’s first page—Frame Status—has been accessed (see
Figure 13 on page 25), navigation can be done using the hypertext Link List
in the left column.
The Link List is a two-tier list with the frame’s devices at the highest tier
and sub-pages for each device in a secondary tier (sub-list) below the
parent device.
To navigate from device to device, click on a device link. This will open the
device’s status page and open the sub-list of device pages. You can also
click on the slot icon in the content display to access a particular module’s
status page.
To navigate to one of the device’s pages click on any of the device’s sub-list
of links. This will update the content display to the right.
Note To update status, html pages must be manually refreshed by clicking on the
Refresh button (to the right of the page title). Changes made at the frame or
from other browsers on the network will not be displayed until the page is
refreshed.
