Appendix A: Text Formatting Appendix A: Text Formatting Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs/Joysticks Text formatting codes for bargraphs provide a mechanism to allow a portion of a bargraphs text to be dynamically provided information about the current status of the level (multistate and traditional). These codes are entered into the text field along with any other text.
Appendix A: Text Formatting Text Area Input Masking Text Area Input Masking may be used to limit the allowed/correct characters that are entered into a text area. For example, in working with a zip code, a user could limit the entry to a max length of only 5 characters; with input masking, this limit could be changed to 5 mandatory numerical digits and 4 optional numerical digits. A possible use for this feature is to enter information into form fields.
Appendix A: Text Formatting Input Mask Ranges These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only one range is allowed per field. Using a range implies a numeric entry ONLY. Input Mask Ranges Character Meaning [ Start range ] End range | Range Separator An example from the above table: [0|255] This allows a user to enter a value from 0 to 255.
Appendix A: Text Formatting When data overflows from a numerical field, the overflow value is added to the previous field on the chain if the overflow character was specified. In the above example, if the overflow flag was set, the first example will place the "1" into the previous logical field and the second example will place "12" in the previous logical field.
Appendix A: Text Formatting Other used escape sequences include: Escape Sequences Sequence Panel Information $DV Device Number $SY System Number $IP IP Address $HN Host Name $MC Mac Address $ID Neuron ID $PX X Resolution of current panel mode/file $PY Y Resolution of current panel mode/file $BX X Resolution of current button $BY Y Resolution of current button $BN Name of button $ST Current state $AC Address Code $AP Address Port $CC Channel Code $CP Channel Port $LC Level
Appendix A: Text Formatting Complex Script Support In many cases, a user needs a touch panel user interface that utilizes a font applicable to the area for which its use is intended, and to accomplish this without needing to resort to images of properly formed text.

Appendix B: Wireless Technology Appendix B: Wireless Technology Overview of Wireless Technology 802.11b/2.4 GHz and 802.11a/5 GHz are the two major WLAN standards and both operate using radio frequency (RF) technology. Together the two standards are together called Wi-Fi and operate in frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively. The 802.11b specification was the first to be finalized and reach the marketplace. The actual throughput obtained from an 802.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology Terminology 802.1x IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard that is built on the Internet standard EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). 802.1x is a standard for passing EAP messages over either a wired or wireless LAN. Additionally, 802.1x is also responsible for communicating the method with which APs and wireless users can share and change encryption keys. This continuous key change helps resolve any major security vulnerabilities native to WEP.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology To resolve problems with WEP, the Wi-Fi Alliance released WPA (FIG. 91), which integrated 802.1x, TKIP and MIC. Within the WPA specifications, the RC4 cipher engine was maintained from WEP. RC4 is widely used in SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to protect internet traffic. FIG. 91 WPA Overview WPA2 Also know as IEEE 802.11i, this is an amendment to the 802.11 standard specifying security mechanisms for wireless networks. The 802.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology EAP Authentication EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both a wired and wireless network environment. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also known as a RADIUS server. Although over 40 different EAP methods are currently defined, the current internal Modero 802.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology EAP Communication Overview EAP Authentication goes a step beyond just encrypting data transfers, but also requires that a set of credentials be validated before the client (panel) is allowed to connect to the rest of the network (FIG. 93). Below is a description of this process. It is important to note that no user intervention is necessary during this process. It proceeds automatically based on the configuration parameters entered into the panel. LAN 802.
