Chapter 4. Graphical User Interface
This chapter describes the layout and controls on the graphical user interface of
the Telemetry Gateway. All interactions between the user and the A850
Telemetry Gateway (e.g. configuration, monitoring, diagnostics) take place
using a JAVA-based graphical user interface (GUI).
GUI Elements
After logging onto the Telemetry Gateway, the configurator is started. From
here you can navigate to detailed views of the nodes or to the other tab windows
and perform functions.
The type, version and local IP address of the Telemetry Gateway are shown in the
header row. The IP address may differ from the address entered in the browser if
the Telemetry Gateway has been placed behind an internet gateway (not an
ADCON component).
The footer row displays the user with which you have logged in.
Mouseover is available for various elements (e.g. tool bars, entries in data
panels and detailed views). If you move the mouse over the hotspot, the
message is displayed.
A red frame indicates that either entries are mandatory or that an error is present.
When configuration settings are pending confirmation, the shortcut on the tool
bar changes to green. If you don't want to save changes, close the program
without saving (discard changes).
The breadcrumb navigation shows you where you are in the web application.
