Network-Based Programming 6-1
January 2006
Introduction The VGA Optica can also be programmed remotely from a computer
over a network, using a browser program such as Internet Explorer.
It may be necessary to download and install the Sun Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) obtained from the GE Infrastructure Sensing
distribution CD or Sun’s website. If the Sun JRE is not installed on a
machine that connects to Optica via Ethernet, a web page will direct
the user to Sun’s website.
To set up the Optica’s networking configuration, see Chapter 4 for
programming using the Optica’s VGA programming method, and
follow the instructions listed in Network Menu on page 4-12.
Programming Screens Detailed information on using the Optica Web interface is available
via the Help buttons. Programming is very similar to programming of
the VGA unit described in Chapter 4, Programming the VGA Optica.
Of course, you use the mouse to click directly on fields and control
buttons instead of selecting items with the TAB key described in
Chapter 4.
A typical main data screen is shown below:
