Installation guide

DR6 Auto-Navigation Settings

The DR6 device provides built-in auto-navigation features:

a set of navigation tabs

a single button that opens a navigation popup window

You can use either one of these options for any DR6 in your system. For more information see (DR6) Device

Setup.

Do I need a HALdevice to test control pages?

No! In keeping with the Halogen theme of creating and testing your configuration as much as possible with-

out requiring HAL system hardware, you can test control pages on your PC. Halogen has a built-in web

server that you can use to try out your pages assigned to the Web and see that the control links and page

navigation do what you have in mind. In addition, you can view and test control pages assigned to a DR6

device using the DR6 Viewer dialog.

To test control pages, simply click on the Preview Page drop-down menu in the Control Page Designer tool-

bar and choose Web: or a DR6 device. If you choose to preview a web page, Halogen opens the default web

browser and requests the current page. On the page that appears in the browser, all of the controls are live

and you can test their operation with the link they participate in.

If you choose a DR6 device, Halogen opens the DR6 Viewer dialog and displays the page. Again, all of the

controls are live, as is user access and page navigation so you can try out your control system without need-

ing actual HAL and DR6 devices. For more information see DR6 Viewer Dialog Box.

Is there a way to control who can access control pages during normal operation of the HAL system?

Halogen provides the ability to add user access codes to the configuration and assign control pages that each

user is allowed to access. In operation, the HALweb server and the DR6 devices provide a Login feature that

allows the end-user to enter their code to gain access to their set of control pages.

Halogen Control Pages also include an Unsecured user, that you can use to provide a set of pages that any

end-user is allowed to access.
