D. WEB SERVICE OPERATION
The PT2000 Terrestrail Gateway unit is fully controllable over Ethernet by means of the web service function (web
browser control). The web service is designed for use with Internet Explorer V7 and Mozilla Firefox V2 so it is
strongly recommended to use one of these two browser types for the operation. The PT2000 Terrestrail Gateway
unit must be configured in advance for the same address space as the PC used for the control and the PC must be
connected to one of the TCP/IP mangement eithere directly or over a network.
Preparation Of The Web Browser
The status pages provided by the PT2000 Terrestrail Gateway web service are updated in the web server
whenever the operational status of the device changes. However, changes to operational status, occurrence of
alarm messages, etc, may be masked if the web browser is configured for use of locally cached web pages. To
ensure that the web browser always displays the latest status from the PT2000 Terrestrail Gateway web service
and not outdated cached information, it must be configured specifically to check for newer versions of a web page
on every visit to the page. For Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 this is done as follows:
a) Select ‗Internet options‘ from the ‗Tools‘ menu,
b) Select ‗Browsing history‘  ‗Settings‘ from the ‗‘General‘ tab page,
c) Make sure ‗Every time I visit the page‘ is ticked.
1. Login To The Web Service
Connection to the web service function is established simply by entering in the web browser‘s address field the IP
address assigned to the specific PT 2000 unit. A login window will appear in order to authenticate the user‘s
access to the web service. Login can be made at three different levels:
