Navigate Appliance UI

This section helps you understand the appliance UI.

Main Menu

To access the main menu, perform the following steps:

1. Press ENTER when the appliance name and IP address are displayed. This shows the Password prompt.
2. Enter the password to display the first menu option, SETUP NETWORK. A password is required to configure anything on the Physical Passive Sensor Appliance using the LCD panel. This prevents any unauthorized access to the appliance. The default admin password is 0000.
   After registration, the admin is prompted to enter the new admin password, which is used later.
   If the admin does not enter the password within 1 minute, the appliance continues to use the default password 0000.

When the appliance is de-registered, the admin password is reset to the default password(0000).

To move up through menu options, press the Up arrow. To move down through the menu options, press the Down arrow. To select an option, press ENTER. To exit the main menu, press the down arrow button until the EXIT THIS MENU option appears, then press ENTER.

Navigation Indicators

Each screen displays one or more indicators in the top right corner, indicating the navigation options available from the current screen.

Enter Information

The LCD interface allows users to enter information in the fields provided using arrow keys. The Left and Right arrows move the cursor to the left and right and the Up and Down arrows are used to scroll through characters. Some fields allow only certain characters to be entered. The character restrictions are described below.

Up and Down Arrows

Using the LCD interface use the Up and Down arrows to enter characters in a field. Using the Remote Console interface you have the option to use the Up and Down arrows or to use your keyboard to enter characters.

In numeric entry fields, press the Up and Down arrows to select a value between 0 and 9. When a numeric field is first displayed, a default value appears.

In text entry fields where you enter a username and password, press the Up and Down arrows to select a character (numeric, alphabetic, underscore or special character). You can hold the Up/Down arrow to scroll through the available characters in these fields. Text fields are blank to start (filled with spaces).

Scrolling through Characters

Some fields allow you to select characters. Press the Up arrow to scroll through characters in ascending order. Starting from the space character, the characters appear in this order: lowercase letters (a to z), space, numbers (0 to 9), underscore, special characters (for Proxy username and password only), uppercase letters (A to Z).

Press the Down arrow to scroll through characters in descending order. Starting from the space character, the characters appear in this order: uppercase letters (Z to A), special characters (for Proxy username and password only), underscore, numbers (9 to 0), space, lowercase letters (z to a).

Space Character

When a text field entry contains fewer characters than the characters displayed on the LCD interface screen, you must select the space character for the unused positions before or after the field entry. Only the characters associated with the field entry and space characters may be included in a text field entry.

Embedded spaces are not permitted in text field entries (except for the Proxy password).

Use the space character to remove characters when editing text fields (except for the Proxy password). To remove a character in an entry field using the LCD interface, move the cursor on the character (using the Left and Right arrows), select the space character (using the Up and Down arrows) and then press ENTER. Any space characters entered appear in the LCD interface screen until the next time you revisit the screen.

IP Addresses

Entry fields for IP addresses are pre-filled with values in this format: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

The IP address format displays values for each character position in all octets. When entering an IP address, you replace the three “n” digits for each octet as appropriate. If an octet has less than three digits, then the octet must include leading zeros. For example, to specify the IP address “194.55.176.2”, you need to enter the IP address as “194.055.176.002”.

Proxy User Name

For the Proxy user name in the PROXY USER field you may enter a maximum of 32 characters including lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers and underscore. These special characters can be used: underscore (_), dash (-), backslash (\), period (.), at sign (@).

Figure 5-4. Special characters in the Proxy user field

The screen displays 16 characters of the PROXY USER field entry, and it scrolls left. For example, the first character of the Proxy username is hidden when the 17th character is entered. As each additional character is entered, the Proxy user name scrolls left. The space character should be used to remove characters.

The format of a Proxy user entry is: 'domain\user'. If there is a backslash in the middle of the entry, the appliance interprets the string before the backslash as the domain name. No double backslashes (\\) are needed in front of the 'domain\user' format.

Proxy Password

The PROXY PASS allows you to enter a maximum of 16 characters including lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, space, and underscore. Many special characters are allowed. These characters are shown in ascending order in the table below. Using the LCD interface, to scroll through characters 1 to 30, press the Up arrow. To scroll through characters in descending order, press the Down arrow.
