1. Setting AutoWeb (Automatic Web-Browser Boot)
When the AutoWeb application has been installed, on boot-up the Tablet PC offers two options to complete the
boot-up:-
Android 4.0
AutoWeb
There is also Tickbox for “Use by default for this application”.
Initially for the IP address setup select Android 4.0 and follow “Setting Ethernet Device Address” section how
to set up the IP address.
By selecting the AutoWeb option a field is displayed to enter the controller IP address e.g. 192.168.10.11 (default
IP address for the SDC-xG controllers). After entering the IP address click “Save” and this is now stored in the
AutoWeb settings (the setting can be deleted – see section Changing the Controller IP Address).
Now when the Autoweb is selected at the bootup, and the AutoWeb option is selected, the Tablet PC
automatically opens Web-browser link to the controller. You can also get to the boot-up screen by pressing
Android toolbar “Up” icon.
WARNING: When the option “Use by default for this application” is ticked, the selection between Android 4.0
and AutoWeb is no longer displayed. If AutoWeb is selected the only way to change settings after ticking the box
is by going to the settings via the bottom toolbar and the clock icon.
As default with SDC-TS7 the AutoWeb 1.03 is installed that removes all the toolbars. With this browser it is
necessary to program the host controller (e.g. SDC-xG) web-graphics to fit inside the Android web-page. To
facilitate the CPT tool has under graphics library an object showing the frame size.
Note: If desired it is possible to uninstall the Autoweb 1.03 and install AutoWeb 1.02S that uses Google browser.
This browser shows the controller URL (which can be set to auto hide from Android/Apps/Browser). The Google
browser can zoom out the web-page to fit the graphics page on the SDC-TS7 screen. See section Updating
AutoWeb for details.
2. Setting Ethernet Device Address
Before it is possible to connect the SDC-TS7 to the host controller, it is necessary to set up the SDC-TS7 IP
address. To do this, select Android OS.
1. Go to “Settings”.
2. Go to “Ethernet”
3. Select “Use Static IP” for the static IP addressing.
4. Set “IP Address”, “Gateway”, “Netmask”fields
E.g. if the default IP settings of the SDC-xG controller are:
IP Address: 192.168.10.11
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Then the SDC-TS7 display IP address is to be set as
IP Address: 192.168.10.x, where x is between 1..255 but not 11. I.e. 192.168.10.21
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
