1. Introduction
Web UI is a complimentary feature of the GR-7500 panel, designed to
monitor and configure a panel, through any device with browser support
that is also connected to the same network as the panel. It is built as a
single-page-application that aims at the seamless transition throughout its
functionality, and at a dynamic data-flow update.
It supports both available access levels, User and Technician, and covers
all monitoring and configuration options that are found within the panel’s
GUI. The web application is unique to each panel and can be accessed
using the panel’s IP address as the website’s URL.
This user manual is structured using static screenshots each depicting a
different route within the application, detailing all the elements that are of
interest and use to the user.
2. Application
2.1. Home Screen
The home screen is the initial and main view on the user’s device. It consists
of several elements with different functions. The center of the view holds all
the basic information regarding the panel and is broken down to four
individual frames. The top-leftmost contains the panel’s name, version and

update status. The top-rightmost shows the number of faults and overall
events within the panel and the network card’s update status. The bottom-
leftmost holds information about the connected points and the bottom-
rightmost about the panel’s connection zones.
The top-left section of the view affords the user access to the User (left) and
Technician (right) menu, provided they Sign In with the appropriate set of
credentials. Across the same height, on the top-right corner, is the Sign In
option.
The center-right part is dedicated to the quick-access options, which are
unlocked after the user has successfully logged in. Each option contains an
array of (from top to bottom) faults, points in test, points in inhibit, points in
emergency, events and a table with rudimentary panel information.
The bottom-right section consists of a control for language selection
between English and Greek and a set of color-changing blocks depicting
the panel and luminaires’ status, depending on their function or lack
thereof.
2.2. Sign In
The Sign In option creates an overlaid card that contains a fully validated
form, allowing up to five consecutive attempts at signing in. Depending on
the provided set of credentials, the user will be logged in the respective
menu. After successfully gaining access, the user will not be redirected to
the appropriate menu. They will manually have to navigate to their target
area.

2.3. Quick-access Options
Each quick-access option creates an overlaid table with information
regarding the panel’s faults, points in test, points in inhibit, points in
emergency, events and information. As shown in the image above, for
example, the panel’s faults and all tables’ data are arranged with sorting
and pagination capabilities. This specific table also contains the option to
reset the faults within the table for a fresh view.
Another example is the preceding image with information about the
panel’s various events, from signing in and out, to commencing luminaire
tests and updating the panel or the network card, to a maximum of 6000
registered events.
