Specifications

Site Management Portal UI
The Site Management Portal UI provides system
administrators or building operators online user and
system configuration capabilities along with real-time
views into their site. The Site Management Portal UI
transforms raw data from the site and organizes it into a
comprehensive set of information management tools and
reports.
The Site Management Portal UI framework features a
multiple panel layout that displays different aspects of
your building control system at one time. For example,
you can display a graphic diagram of an air handling plant
along with a multiple point trend graph and the control
system logic. This multi-panel layout allows you to identify
the cause of an alarm condition from the plant quickly. In
another panel, you can display a detailed focus view of
a point and monitor the effects of changes to its value on
the system graphic in the other panel.
Metasys UI
The Metasys UI allows completely device-agnostic access
from smart phones, tablets, and computers. This new
user interface is optimized for mobility, with touch-friendly
screens that you can access from any type of client
device. The Metasys UI displays data in a dashboard
format to show the big picture of activity within a space,
equipment, or a central plant. The location-based
navigation approach allows you to search for any location
by name and to bookmark the location in a browser. The
Metasys UI includes widgets that allow you to analyze
the equipment and potential problems within a space and
view trends based on an ad-hoc analysis of any
equipment situation. Enhanced security functions, alarm
announcement functionality, simplified commanding, and
real-time display of values allow you to maintain control
of your site, even from mobile devices.
The Metasys UI is included with the ADS and ADX
(unified and split) site directors. For more information on
Metasys UI, refer to the Metasys System Product Bulletin
(LIT-1201526).

Ready Access Portal UI
The Ready Access Portal UI provides an intuitive,
task-based interface to your Metasys system that can be
tailored to meet the remote operations of your building.
For details on its many benefits, refer to the Ready
Access Portal Software Catalog Page (LIT-1900538).
To use the Ready Access Portal UI, install the Ready
Access Portal software on a computer with access to
your Metasys network. Then, access the Ready Access
Portal UI from the Launcher, from a web browser on your
computer, or from a mobile device. The computer on
which you install Ready Access Portal software can
contain Metasys software (with the exception of System
Configuration Tool [SCT] with Simulation) or be a
stand-alone computer without Metasys software. For a
split ADX configuration, Ready Access Portal software
can be installed on the web/application server computer
or a stand-alone computer.
For details on the Ready Access Portal UI features, refer
to the Ready Access Portal Help (LIT-12011342).
Note: The Ready Access Portal UI is in the exit phase
of its product life cycle. Ready Access Portal
functionality will be available in the new mobile
optimized Metasys UI.
