Introduction Introduction The RemoteVisu provides you with an operating interface for the HomeServer and FacilityServer that is optimally matched to the use of the visualisation on the Windows Media Center and Internet Explorer. Operation is carried out with the Media Center remote control. As an option, the Windows Media Center can be operated with an XBox 360 and the wireless XBox 360 wireless controller (see below).
As the software for the device purchased by you is being continuously further developed and updated, information in this manual may no longer be up-to-date. Current product information is always available on the Gira website: www.gira.com Current software updates and documentation for your product are also available.
Area of application The RemoteVisu expands the existing HomeServer/FacilityServer visualisation functions. Any other use of the device and software is not permitted. Gira shall assume neither legal responsibility nor a warranty of any kind for errors and damage resulting from the improper use of the device and/or the related software.
Introduction Specifics The RemoteVisu comprises the option of defining different sized visualisation pages. A visualisation page can be opened as a popup mask. No additional design is required for the RemoteVisu in a project. The layout is determined by the visualisation program. Installation The RemoteVisu is a component of the HomeServer/FacilityServer Expert software and is automatically installed with it.
RemoteVisu RemoteVisu Sample project A sample project is included with the HomeServer/FacilityServer Expert software. The name of the sample project is: sample-yyyymmdd-rv.de Here "yyyymmdd" stands for the date of the respective file. 2.1.1 Scope of sample project Two resolutions can be selected in the sample project: 1680 x 1050 and 1024 x 768.
RemoteVisu Start-up 2.2.1 Setup Existing projects can be expanded with the HomeServer AjaxVisu without an additional design. Open the menu item Setup in the Expert. Create the following two symbols in the Project settings mask (see Image 2.1). The image ID is decisive for the definition. –...
RemoteVisu 2.2.2 Page size If the area of a standard visualisation page is to be limited, this is possible with the XXPAGE symbol. If this symbol is set on a visualisation page, it defines the lower right-hand corner. All information which lies outside the limited area is not shown. Figure 2.2 Example of setting page size Create the symbol as described above:...
RemoteVisu 2.2.3 Popup page The RemoteVisu offers popup visualisation pages. If a visualisation page is to be laid over the visualisation page to be called (popup), it is possible with the XXPOPUP symbol. If this symbol is set on a visualisation page, it defines the lower right-hand corner and at the same time it defines this page as a popup.
RemoteVisu Starting visualisation The RemoteVisu is started by calling one of the following pages in the Internet Explorer: – http://IP_DES_HS-FS/opt/hsrv-gira_en/startgast.htm – http://IP_DES_HS-FS/opt/hsrv-gira_en/start2.htm The two variants differ from each other in the user and the resolution used. 2.3.1 Start files startguest.htm starts the project with the user 'u1024' and the resolution 1024x768. start2.htm starts the project with the user 'u1680' and the resolution 1680x1050.

RemoteVisu 2.7.4 Login behaviour The 5th parameter in startguest.htm, start2.htm. This parameter defines which visualisation page the user lands on following the login. There is no input field for this parameter on the Login mask. It must be changed directly in the startguest.htm or start2.htm.
RemoteVisu 2.8.4 Refresh time Input field, in example R1. Abbreviation. If a change is caused with an element in the visualisation, for example a light is switched on, an automatic refresh of the page (the status of the object concerned is determined and shown on the visualisation) is carried out at intervals that double each time.
RemoteVisu Installed files The details of the RemoteVisu are described in the following. These files can be adapted to the user's own needs (colours etc.) with a minimal knowledge of HTML. The installed files are divided into several sections, each of which can be found in a separate subdirectory.

RemoteVisu 2.11 Javascript files The Javascript files are stored in the js subdirectory of the hsrv-gira_en folder. The files are used to breathe life into the HTML files, as it were. These files contain the program code which, for example, turns a drawn button or the transparent area which lies over it into a button that actually reacts to clicking.
