Room Alert Signal Tower Additional Screens And Interfaces
Web Interface
The Room Alert Signal Tower web interface is available through the built-in web server and shows the
current status of Room Alert Signal Tower sensors and LEDs. If thresholds are dened for the sensors,
the status icon above the sensor label changes color based upon what the current value is in relation to
the established thresholds.
The ‘Signal Tower’ column displays the current status of the light tower. Clicking the various areas of the
light tower graphic will toggle the current status of that element. For example, clicking the ‘Red LED’
section of the light tower graphic will instantly turn the red LED on or off depending on its current status.
If the current sensor reading for Channel 1, 2 or 3 is between the high and low thresholds, the status icon
will be green. If the high or low threshold is exceeded, the status icon will be red. If no thresholds are
currently dened, the status icon will be gray.
The ‘Channel 3: Switch Sensor’ section displays the current status of the switch sensor connected to the
Room Alert Signal Tower ID Box. The current state of the switch sensor connected will be displayed
below the sensor label as ‘open’ or ‘closed’. If the current state of the switch sensor corresponds with
the state selected in the ‘Alarm On’ drop-down for that sensor on the ‘Sensors’ page of the Settings, the
status icon above the sensor label will be red indicating that the sensor is currently in an alarm state. If
the current state of the switch sensor is the opposite of the state selected in the ‘Alarm On’ drop-down,
the status icon will be green indicating that the switch sensor is not currently in an alarm state. Please
view the documentation that arrived with each sensor for information on the ‘normal’ state (open or
closed) of the switch sensor in use.
Below the DHCP Name and time display are a number of radio buttons and form elds that allow the
display of the Room Alert Signal Tower web server interface to be modied. Changing the ‘Display’
radio buttons will toggle how inactive sensors are displayed, modifying the ‘Update Every’ form eld
will adjust the refresh time of the Room Alert Signal Tower web server interface and selecting the
‘Celsius’ radio button instead of the ‘Fahrenheit’ radio button will display sensor values in Celsius.
The ‘Current Ping Status’ section displays the current status of any pings that have been congured
in the ‘Ping Options’ section of the Settings. Any pings that are congured will display in this section
displaying the IP Address of the ping and either a green status icon indicating the ping succeeded or a
red status icon indicating the ping failed.
NOTE: Javascript MUST be enabled to view the ‘Status’ screen.
