FIRST COMMISSIONING
INTRODUCTION
HORIZONE SERVER is a web server specifically engineered for monitoring and visualization of
Home & Building Automation systems.
HORIZONE SERVER is fully compliant with worldwide standards like KNX and MODBUS, and with
many other technologies used in intelligent buildings, alarm systems, fire and smoke detections
systems, audio / video distribution systems.
The configuration and use of HORIZONE SERVER takes place directly through its web interface,
which can be accessed through a conventional browser (from any device / operating system).
This chapter describes how to connect and configure HORIZONE SERVER.
CONTENT OF THE PACKAGING
The HORIZONE SERVER packaging contains the following material:
HORIZONE SERVER
connector for power supply and KNX bus
Printed Quick Start Guide
HINT:HORIZONE SERVER is a pure WEB SERVER, therefore it is not usable for standalone
visualisation, because it has no display.
Neither the server has any graphical interface (VGA, DVI, HDMI, ...), therefore it can’t be directly
display any graphical content.
Visualisation is accessed through client PCs, notebooks, netbooks, tablets and smartphones,
connected to the server via Network.

FRONT END AND BACK END ENVIRONMENTS
The graphical interface of HORIZONE SERVER is made of two main environments:
“ADMINISTRATION” or “BACK END”. This is the configuration area, in which (depending on the
users permissions) all settings can be managed.

“VISUALISATION” or “FRONT END”. This is the user visualisation environment. It allows the user
to navigate through rooms/pages, created by the professional installer through the back end, and
to actuate all objects in real time.
Both areas are based on web technology and can therefore be controlled from within a browser
window. The main difference between the two levels is the graphical design:
BACK END was designed with a simple graphic style, optimized to display the maximum amount of
information and options in a clear form.

Eelectron Spa
IN00B02WEBFI00070102_ADMIN_MANUAL_EN.DOCX
13/113
FRONT END was designed to allow the inexperienced users the most intuitive and easy
navigation. The modern and stylish design-makes it very comfortable for the end user to take full
control of its system.
A simple button allows the professional to switch from one environment to the other:
From the BACK END, the button to switch to the FRONT END is positioned in the upper right
corner of the screen.


From the FRONT END, the button to switch to the BACK END is positioned in the lower right
corner. The user must have the permissions to access the BACK END.

Eelectron Spa
IN00B02WEBFI00070102_ADMIN_MANUAL_EN.DOCX

FRONT END
http://192.168.0.110/Horizone/modules/system/externalframe.php?context=runtime
To save time during configuration, both environments can be displayed simultaneously
in different tabs of the browser, which makes it faster to switch between the areas. Note:
To see the changes in the FRONT END in real time, it is recommended to refresh the
browser window after any change done in the BACK END.

GENERAL OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
This chapter gives an overview of the ADMINISTRATION area of HORIZONE SERVER and
explains different tools and menus, which can be used to configure the web server.
BACKEND –GRAPHICAL INTERFACE
The BACK END is divided into the following sections:
SEARCH-BAR
The search bar is located in the upper left corner in form of an input filed,
which allows to find objects quickly by entering keywords related to the
searched objects.
MENU
Main menu of the software, shown as a tree-view. Through this menu all
sections of the software are accessible and objects can be created / mod-
ified / deleted.
TOOLBAR
The toolbar in the upper side of the BACK END is always shown and
allows switching quickly to the mostly used functions through the related
buttons.
WORKSPACE
Main area for showing the chosen configuration options; the single menus
and configuration windows of the objects are shown in here. It is possible
to open more menus / windows in the main area at the same time; the
different menus / windows will be accessible through different tabs in this
case.
The following screenshot shows the single sections of the ADMINISTRATION area:

TOOLBAR
Following functions are always present in the toolbar:
SAVE
Allows saving all changes into the flash memory of HORIZONE SERVER,
what will preserve the data even if the web server is powered off. The button
turns red whenever changes are made, but not saved yet. In addition, every
5 minutes an automatic saving of all changes takes place, so pressing the
“SAVE” button is only necessary if the system should be shut down/restarted
immediately after making the changes.
BASE / EXPERT
Changes the visibility of various options / parameters within the configuration
pages. The BASE mode displays only the necessary settings and visible
objects; the EXPERT mode, however, shows even more advanced options
as well as hidden objects.
LOGOUT
Ends the current session and allows you to log onto the web server as a
different user.
VISUALISATION
Allows switching to the FRONT END area and therefore accessing the
visualisation, now showing all modifications made in the configuration.

NAVIGATION MENU
USE OF NAVIGATION MENU
The navigation menu is a typical tree-view-menu. After accessing the BACK END area all the main
entries are shown; the sub-menus are accessed by extending the corresponding main menu. The
navigation in this menu is done simply with a mouse. Clicking on an entry in the navigation menu
turns the clicked entry into blue. If the entry has additional submenus, the entry will be extended
and the sub-menus are displayed. Another click on the selected entry will close the section and
hide the submenus again.
If actions can be performed for the selected entry, they will be displayed in the TOOLBAR at the
bottom left corner of the navigation menu in form of different buttons. The following actions may be
displayed:

Eelectron Spa
IN00B02WEBFI00070102_ADMIN_MANUAL_EN.DOCX
19/113
NEW / ADD
Allows the creation of a new object within the selected entry. Depending
on the selected item different types of objects are created; if a menu allows
the creation of multiple types of objects, then a context menu will be dis
played in order to select the object type to create.
DELETE
Deletes the selected entry from the project
EDIT
Allows editing of the selected entry. The configuration page of the selected
object is open in the workspace on the left.
CLONE
Creates a copy of the selected entry.
If the selected entry supports the EDIT-action, TRIANGLE will be displayed on the right side of the
entry. Clicking on these points has the same effect as clicking on the EDIT button in the
TOOLBAR.
If the configuration window of an entry is opened through the EDIT-action, the entry will show an
arrow-icon on the right side. This icon will be displayed until the configuration window of the entry
is closed and shall facilitate the navigation if multiple tabs are opened in the workspace.
As mentioned before, some of the entries of the navigation menu permit to create submenus or to
insert new objects. This is done using the NEW button in the TOOLBAR: by pressing this button a
new object (the object type depends on the selected entry) will be created and selected
automatically. If the EDIT button is clicked, the configuration window of the newly created object
will be opened.

Example: To create a new room, just select the entry "ROOMS" (in the main menu "VISUALISA-
TION") and click on the NEW button. The new room will be created and - if other rooms have
already been created before - shown at the end of the sub-menu:
For rooms it is also possible to create further sub-menus following the same procedure (as in the
further course of this manual will be explained); the resulting tree-structure can so also be used in
the visualisation.
The DELETE button removes the selected entries from the project. This action is blocked for the
system menus and indispensable objects, to prevent the user to remove them by accident.
