When accessed by either method, the browser presents the following fields and buttons contained
in the servlet:
• Unit Address – Address of the unit connected to the MLK; typically set to 1 or 2.
• Polling Frequency – Number of times the Unit will poll the MLK event log (per hour)
for new event information; typically set to 1 or 2 times per hour.
• Check Clock Frequency – Number of times the Unit will check the MLK system clock
(per day) for accuracy.
• MICROLOK Events File – File containing information of specific MLK events that are to
be identified and the parameters for determining whether qualifying event information
should be converted to SNMP Trap/Inform format and forwarded over the WAN to the
SNMP Host application (or manager).
• SNMP Host Address – The IP address of the SNMP manager that will receive any
generated SNMP traps/informs.
• SNMP Retries – The number of SNMP trap/inform retries.
• SNMP Delay – The SNMP trap/inform delay in milliseconds.
• SNMP Community – The SNMP community associated with any generated SNMP
traps/informs.
• SNMP Trap or Inform – Send SNMP traps or SNMP informs.
• Submit new configuration – Button to submit any changes made to the configuration

4.2. Configuring the TransPortal Interlock Monitor Operating Parameters
The embedded web server interface provides a full view of all conditions monitored by the
MLK, and control over all configurable data fields that define the behavior of the TIM.
Typically, the web server should be accessed by plugging a laptop computer directly into the
TIM. In a typical setup, Ethernet port ETH0 is left empty and is used to establish this user
interface. Configuration may also be accomplished remotely when the TIM is connected to a
wired WAN (typically Ethernet port ETH1).
4.2.1. Locally Accessing the Embedded Web Server
To access the embedded web server:
1. Connect a laptop computer to the TIM, typically using Ethernet port ETH0.
2. Open a web browser window (Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox recommended; See
Section
3.1.) on the laptop.
3. Navigate the browser to the IP address of the unit, typically by entering 192.168.1.1 in
the browser address field followed by the Enter key.
