How to Connect Browser	The terminals can be connected to a browser using either a USB port or an
	Ethernet network connection. Your computer should have at least an Intel
	Pentium M 1400 MHz processor, with 512 MB RAM.
	You must enter the IP address of the PanelView Component terminal into the
	address field of your browser. You can find the IP address on the terminal
	configuration screen under Communications.
	USB Port
	The PanelView Component terminals have a USB device port to support
	communication with the terminal using TCP/IP.
	IMPORTANT Before connecting your computer to the USB port of the PanelView
	Component terminal, you must first install the Allen-Bradley
	PanelView USB remote NDIS Network Device driver on your
	computer. Refer to Install the USB Driver on page 65.
	With the USB device port connected to a computer, use your computer’s browser
	to connect to the terminal. The IP address of the USB port is always
	169.254.254.2.
	IMPORTANT The USB device port is for maintenance or programming only, and
	is not intended for normal run-time operation.

PanelView Explorer

How to Display Help

The C400, C600 and C1000 terminals have an Ethernet port. The Ethernet port supports both static IP addresses and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigned IP addresses. If using static IP addressing, then you manually set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway. If using DHCP, then the server automatically assigns an IP address, the subnet mask, the default gateway, and the DNS and WINS server.

IMPORTANT If a terminal is set for DHCP and is not on a network or is on a network that does not have a DHCP server (or the server is not available), it will automatically assign itself an Automatic Private IP Address (or auto IP address). The auto IP address will be in the range of 169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255.

The terminal makes sure the auto IP address is unique from any other auto IP address of other devices on the network. The terminal can now communicate with other devices on the network that have IP addresses in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range (and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0).

PanelView Explorer is the design environment for the PanelView Component terminals. You access the design environment through your browser while connected to the terminal. Applications created in the design environment are simultaneously viewed on the connected terminal. In addition to graphic objects and drawings, the design environment provides support for communication, tags, alarms, security, recipes, and language support.

PanelView Explorer software provides extensive help for the design environment. Context-sensitive help is available for:

•each navigation tab.

•each object in the object palette.

•any dialog that has a Help button.

Click the ? on the application toolbar to view the help.

No Help Files Found

To view help information in your browser, you must download the help files from the PanelView Component web site, copy them to external media, and then insert the media in the terminal. External media can be a USB flash drive or an SD memory card.

View the PanelView Explorer online Help for detailed instructions.

PanelView Component terminals have a USB host port. You can power USB peripherals directly from the PanelView Component terminal. If the USB peripheral is not powered directly from the PanelView USB port either:

•install the USB peripheral in the same enclosure as the PanelView terminal and make sure it is connected to the same ground system.

•connect to the USB peripheral through a galvanically isolated hub.

ATTENTION: Removing the USB flash drive or SD card, from the PanelView Component terminal, while a firmware upgrade is in process, could corrupt the firmware and make the terminal unusable. Take precautions to prevent the USB flash drive or SD card from being accidentally disconnected. Also, do not power off the terminal while a firmware upgrade is in progress.

ATTENTION: USB hubs can produce unexpected behaviors and as a result are not recommended.

Configuration Mode

This chapter covers topics that show how to use the Configuration mode of your PanelView component terminal.

•Configuration mode

•Configuration interfaces

•Terminal settings

•Managing applications and files

•Transferring applications

•Transferring user-defined objects

The terminal can be configured from either the design time or the runtime user interface. The design-time user interface requires a computer browser connected to the terminal's web service, where the runtime user interface uses configuration screens on the terminal. The configuration data for a terminal refers to the collection of all of the system interface parameters.
