In the default state, the Web Browser Interface will not be available until you have enabled Web Access as described in Section 5.9.2. After Web Access has been enabled, access the AFS-16 Web Browser Interface as described in Section 3.3 and then proceed as follows:

1.Access the Circuit Control Menu: Click on the "Circuit Control" link on the left hand side of the screen to display the Circuit Control menu. The Circuit Control menu includes a series of dropdown menus that are used to select the desired switching action for each Circuit Module.

Note: The Circuit Control menu also lists the number and user-defined name of each Circuit Module present, the name of the currently selected A/B circuit path, the A/B position of the switch, a brief description of the reason for the last switching action and a column that shows if each circuit is controlled by the Monitor/Alarm Input feature.

2.Select the Switching Action: Use the dropdown menu to select an A/B switching operation for the desired Circuit Module. For example, to switch Circuit 1 to the B position, click on the down arrow in the "Action" column for Circuit 1 to display the dropdown menu, select the "B" option from the dropdown menu and then click on the "Confirm Circuit Actions" button.

Notes:

•The dropdown menu for each circuit allows you to select position A, position B or the default position. Normally, the "Default" option will switch the circuit to the user-defined Default position that is selected as described in Section 5.6. However, in the case of this Quick Start procedure, the Default circuit positions have not yet been defined.

•The Circuit Control Menu also includes the ability to switch all AFS-16 Circuit Modules. If desired, the dropdown menu in the "All Circuits" row can be used to switch all AFS-16 circuits.

3.Confirm Switching Actions: After you click on the "Confirm Circuit Actions" button, the AFS-16 will display a screen which summarizes the selected switching operation(s) and asks for confirmation before executing the command.
