Remote equipment list (info)

Each equipment has a remote equipment list stored in its own controller.

With remote equipment list we mean a list containing all the network remote equipment which you wish to connect to.

For a better vision of the equipment during the setting of the list, it is possible to subdivide the equipment into stations, in such a way that, at the selection of a station, the application will display only the detail of the equipment associated with such a specific station. The station does not have any particular meaning; it has been simply introduced to help the user during the localization of the equipment.

Into each remote equipment list, it is possible to create a maximum of 100 equipment and 30 station. The remote equipment list can be used to connect, at the same time, to more equipment only if the pro-gram WEB LCT is available.

When the user requests the connection to a generic equipment present into the network (local equipment), at the connection of such equipment, the WEB LCT program reads its remote equipment list and automat-ically forwards the connection command to all pieces of equipment present into the list.

In such a way, the application displays, into the Station List area of the WEB LCT window, all the stations that group the equipment and, into the Equipment List area (selecting the relevant station), it displays the functional status of the local equipment (that results in connected/login status) and the functional status of all the remote equipment present into the list. The equipment that have answered to the connection request of the application will result in connected/monitor status.

The application will cyclically forward the connection command, to the equipment that have not answered to the connection request, until to:

• It is deactivated the connection with the local equipment. • The user disables the equipment.

• The equipment is deleted from the remote equipment list of the local equipment. More information concerning the WEB LCT program are reported into the relevant manuals.

(33)

Contextual area

This area is the part of the WEB LCT page where the equipment parameters are displayed.

Its content changes accordingly to the selected command in the Equipment Menu area, which is indicated in the top part of the contextual area.

Push-button

Apply. Selecting it makes the changes, executed on the parameters present in the contextual area, effective.

Its selection opens a confirmation window. The confirmation windows are timed. When this pe-riod is elapsed (pointed out by the progress bar), if the user has not confirmed the operation, the window is closed and the operation cancelled.

The confirmation window displays the option Don’t ask again. Activate the option to avoid the system displays the confirmation request when Apply is selected in any context of WEB LCT page. This setting remains valid until the exit from the current session (logout or page closing). If the Apply push-button is not available:

• It is not possible to execute changes because the user profile does not allow this or the equipment is in connected/monitor status.

• No parameter present in the window has been modified. In this case, the push-button becomes available when the value of a parameter is changed.

• Another push-button is present in the contextual area for the confirmation of the op-eration or the change of the parameters.

Refresh. Force the reading of the data from equipment.

If the push-button is not available, the connection with the equipment is not active. Help. Open the help on-line.

WARNING For some commands, other push-buttons are displayed relevant only to the context which contains them. These push-buttons are described in the paragraph relevant to the specific command.

Tabs

For some commands, the parameters are subdivided in tabs. The selection of a tab dynamically changes the content of the contextual area.

Parameters

The parameters present in the contextual area can be read-only or set or modified.

The description of the single commands (see Menu and commands (Equipment Menu) indicates the parameters which can be modified and modalities to do that.

Generally, for the parameter setting, the following rules are valid: • Entering a value (alphanumeric string) in a text box.

If a red line is displayed below the text box, the entered value is not allowed because, for example, a number of characters greater than the allowed one or an invalid value has been entered (for example, entering of value 172.18.70.334 as IP address). • Box with possible values displayed in a drop-down menu.

When the value is changed, a red triangle is displayed in the top left edge of the box. It signals that the value has been changed, but the change has not been communi-cated yet to the equipment (pressure of push-button Apply).

WARNING Depending on the protocol set for the file transfer (see Ftp/Sftp contextual area), check out that: • Protocol FTP. The program WEB Lct Console or a FTP Server is active, otherwise start them.

If you use an FTP Server, the credentials used to access to the WEB LCT page must be the same configured for the FTP Server and the file (certificate) must be present into a sub-folder of the

Shared Folder set during the configuration of FTP Server (see FTP/SFTP protocol (info). • Protocol SFTP. A SSH server is installed on one’s PC (see SSH protocol (info).

The default SFTP credentials are the same used by the user to access to the WEB LCT page. For a correct management of the data transfer, the SFTP credentials shall correspond to the user (or to one of the users) defined during the installation of the SSH server (see Installation and configuration of SSH server).

In order to enable one or more features, IT IS NECESSARY to require the enabling certificate, represented by a file (with sfc extension), to the company that provides the equipment.

For each equipment you wish to enable one or more feature, a specific enabling certificate is required, be-cause there is an univocal Link between each certificate and each specific equipment.

1. Select Main > Equipment Properties. 2. Select the Equipment Features tab. 3. Press Upgrade.

4. In the Cert. file path, type the path/name of the certificate. If the equipment uses the:

• FTP protocol and the FTP Server activated at start-up of WLC, it is necessary to enter the full path (c:\..). Otherwise, if you use own FTP Server, it is necessary to enter the partial path (only the sub-folder and the filename of the Shared Folder).

• SFTP protocol you must set the path defined during the configuration of the SSH server (see Installation and configuration of SSH server - SFTP tab).

(41)

5. Set, in the FTP Server IP Addr. box, the IP address of the FTP Server o r the SSH Server (if not otherwise set at the configuration of Server, it corresponds to the IP address of the PC).

6. Press Send.

A message indicates the end and the result of the operation:

• Operation Done. The operation has been executed with success.

• Invalid operation for this equipment…. The selected certificate and equipment are not

compati-ble (wrong serial number or wrong MIB version, etc.).
