4. Log Out: When you have finished exploring the IPS-15's

Web Interface, click on the "Log Out" button to terminate

your connection to the IPS-15.
Note: When you have finished communicating with

the IPS-15 unit, it is important to always log off rather

than simply closing your Telnet or communications

program. When you log off using either the "Log Off"

button in the Web Interface, or the /X command in the

Text Interface, this ensure that the IPS-15 has

completely exited from command mode, and is not

waiting for the inactivity timeout to elapse before

allowing additional connections.

This completes the introductory overview of the IPS-15 Web

Interface. If you wish to see the Text Interface, please proceed to

the next section, or refer to Sections 4 and 5 for complete

installation and configuration procedures.

3.2.2.

The Text Interface

This section provides a brief description of the IPS-15's Text

Interface. The Text Interface is a series of simple, ASCII menus,

that are used to invoke commands and select configuration

parameters. The Text Interface can be used when the unit is

contacted via Telnet, modem or Local PC.

Notes:

·

In order to contact the IPS-15 via modem, you must

connect an external modem to the IPS-15 Master

Unit's Console Port and attach a phone line to the

external modem. Please refer to Section 4.3.2 for

further instructions regarding external modems.

·

The Console Port can be connected to either a Local

PC or an external modem, but not both at the same

time.

·

In order to access the IPS-15 Text Menus, your PC

must include a communications program, such as

Hyperterminal or ProComm.
