Chapter 6: Telestra RMS Web Interface

After Telestra’s eth0 interface is conﬁgured to the proper network settings, the system can be

accessed via any standard web browser on that network through the RMS web interface.

Browser Compatibility & System Conﬁguration Tips

Different operating systems and web browsers offer varying levels of support for “standard” Inter-

net technologies, such as JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and Extensible Hypertext

Markup Language (XHTML), all of which are used by RMS. While ASTi designed RMS with

cross-platform compatibility in mind, certain combinations of OS and web browser may not ren-

der RMS’ web interface properly.

Browser Settings

These are usually referred to as “Preferences” or “Internet Settings”.

In order to take full advantage of RMS’s features, you may have to change some of the settings for

your web browser. Many of these are default settings, but ASTi recommends that you verify or

conﬁgure your browser to perform the following functions:

• Automatically Load Images

• Enable JavaScript for web pages

(enabling JavaScript for email is unnecessary, not to mention dangerous)

• Enable Style Sheets

• Accept Cookies

(all cookies or those which are returned to originating servers)

• Disable Full Caching

(set the browser to “compare page in cache to page on network” every time)

• Disable “Pop-Up” Blocking

Please refer to your browser’s documentation or help system for information regarding these set-

tings.

If you are concerned about the information stored by RMS “cookies”, or the nature of JavaScript

code used by RMS, please consult the “Web Technology Security Issues” section on the next page

for more information.

1280 x 1024 resolution or higher is recommended. See Chapter Two for information on compati-
