Configuring the Workstation Computers

For using the OM Locating application user interface, the desired operator needs

access to a standard PC with a web browser. Please mind the following points

when configuring and operating the workstation:

■ The workstation and the PC running the OM Locating application should be

connected with a reliable and secure network connection. Do not redirect the

unencrypted HTTP traffic via an unsecured public data connections such as the

Internet

■ Install a recent version of Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer on the

workstation PC.

■ To play audible alarms, the workstation should be equipped with a sound card

and a set of speakers. You may need to ensure that the browser can play a

sound, for example by instructing the operator to play a test sound file when

starting a work session. Depending on your browser’s multimedia capabilities,

you may need to install for example the Adobe Flash plug-in. Note, that a

sound is played when you login to or log-out from the OM Locating

application’s user interface.

■ The web browser’s language setting also determine the language that is

presented by the OM Locating application’s user interface. Note, that the date

format as well as the language of some system error messages is determined

by the language setting of the server. Thus, the browser settings do not change

the presented date format.

■ Do not change the web browser’s standard security, view or multimedia

settings. For proper operation, the OM Locating application’s user interface

requires JavaScript, Cookies, DHTML, and CSS to stay active.

The above points are true for operating the OM Locating application with the

“admin” and with normal user accounts. Note, that you need to create user

accounts for any operator (see Managing Users starting on page 50).

Adding Site / Location Pictures

The OM Locating application’s user interface displays the location of the RFP

where the portable part is detected. You can use the OM Management Portal

(OMP) to generate the location pictures for the OpenMobility Locating appli-

cation. For a detailed description on this please refer to Generating Location

Images by Using the OMP starting on page 23.
