The Status web page (Figure 12 on page 32) shows the signal status of the input signal(s) and communication with the frame bus. Refer to Web Browser Interface on page 27 for an explanation of the color coding. · Under the Status title are given the model, the description and the frame location. The graphic shows the input and output signals and their status based on color. If the status of either input or output changes, it will be reflected in the color status of the arrow (linked to the Input Reporting parameter) and the status LED on the module web page. Information about the module, such as Part Number, Serial Number, Hardware Revision, Firmware Revision 1 (CPLD), Firmware Revision 2 (FPGA), Software Version, and Asset Tag number are given at the bottom of the Status Web Page. On the Status web page, any warnings or module errors will be displayed in the double bars area below the graphic.
The color of the LED present on the top left of each web page is managed by the 8900NET accordingly to the alarms status.
