INTRODUCTION Arcadia is a comprehensive and scalable application for managing remote broadcast sites, enabling browser-based monitoring and control of multiple ARC Plus Touch, ARC Plus SL, ARC Solo and Arcturus systems. Arcadia’s webbased interface provides insights into alarms, events, and performance metrics to help identify degradation before failures occur. Data is accessible on any mobile device or computer that has web access capability. Users are allowed to access only authorized sites and channels.
VIEWING SITES When a user logs on to the Arcadia web interface a list of sites for which he or she has authorization will be visible under the All Sites tab. If you do not see any sites, check with your Arcadia system administrator to confirm that appropriate site authorizations have been assigned to your user account. Figure 2: Sites that a user is authorized to view Clicking on a site in the All Sites tab will display a default view for that site.
Figure 5: Default view of site showing list of Alarms Figure 6: Default view of site showing list of events If, for example, a user has only been given access to alarms, events and macros for a given site, then the channels will not be visible when he or she logs into the Arcadia website. ADDING TABS As an Arcadia user, you can create your own hierarchy to view and manage your sites.
The Home tab is at the top of your personal hierarchy of tabs. Multiple tabs like the Home tab can be created and renamed using the Add Tab button as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9. Figure 8: Home tab showing ability to "Add Site" and "Add Matrix” Figure 9: Create multiple tabs and rename the tabs Figure 10 shows the Home tab renamed to Northeast. Under Northeast, new tabs for Boston and Maine have been created. Tabs can be nested within other tabs to any desired level.
ADDING SITES WITHIN TABS To add a site, click on the Add Site button show in Figure 8 above. A page will appear requesting a name for the site to be added and providing a drop-down list of all authorized sites to select from.

VIEWING ALARMS When you add sites under a tab, a summary list of Alarms for all the sites under that tab is automatically generated. The alarm list can be made visible by clicking the three dots icon to the right of the tab name. Then click on the Alarm button that appears on the tab to display Alarms for all sites in that tab.
