The VB220 web interface is reached by pointing a web browser to the IP address of the Probe as shown
in the screen shot above. The following web browsers are recommended:
• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 or higher
• Apple Safari
Note that different web browsers behave differently with respect to memory leaking, and if the VB220
GUI should be available at all times the browser should be selected carefully. A browser memory leak
manifests itself as the browser responding more and more slowly, and this is corrected by closing down
the application and restarting.
The interface is easy and intuitive to use. Navigate by clicking on the tabs just below the Probe logo.
Some of the pages have their own tabs for accessing nested pages. The bottom frame of the interface is
always the Alarms & events list, usually referred to as the
alarm list
. The alarm list can be displayed or
hidden by clicking the Toggle link, which is displayed as an arrow head.
The web interface has been designed to be resizable in both vertical and horizontal directions with a
minimum screen resolution of 1280×800 pixels.
Tool-tips are available for most buttons and labels. To access tool-tip information simply navigate the
mouse pointer towards a button or a label and leave it hovering for a second or two.
In this manual the term stream is generally used instead of the terms multicast and/or unicast. A stream
may thus contain a single service or multiple services.
