12.5.5 Alarms Screen

The Alarms screen displays the current status of the alarms within the Horizon Compact system and the

total accumulated time the alarm has been present (in seconds). The total accumulated time may indicate

the current alarm has been active for the timeframe indicated, or may indicate the alarm has occurred

multiple times for a total time equaling the displayed value (See 12.9 for a list of alarms) . This screen is

updated at the rate specified in the refresh rate text box on the left hand side of the page. The default is

no self-refresh (set to 0 seconds).

12.5.6 Tools Screen

This screen provides you access to the Link Alignment Tool and Link Planning Tool. The Link Alignment

Tool provides a continuously updated RSL reading for link alignment operations as an alternative to using

a DVM connected to the BNC field strength monitor connector (see Section 9.1).

If you need to contact DragonWave all the information you need is shown on this screen.

12.6 Horizon Compact SSL Web Server

The Horizon Compact Web server can be configured for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The Web server

may be configured to operate in standard mode or in SSL mode. The Horizon Compact SSL Web server

is HTTP 1.0/1.1 compliant, features full support of HTML 2.0, 3.2, 4.0 and supports SSL 3.0.

Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a

Web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the Web server and browser

remain private and integral. In order to be able to generate an SSL link, a Web server requires an SSL

Certificate.

In order to invoke SSL on the Horizon Compact Web server, an SSL certificate must be generated on the

Horizon Compact. Horizon Compact uses an embedded SSL Web server from Allegro Software

Development Corporation. Once generated, the certificate may be held as a private certificate or it may

be registered with a Trusted Certificate Authority such as:

• Allegro Software Development Corporation

• Microsoft Root Authority

• Thawte Server

• GTE Cybertrust Root

• VeriSign RSA Secure Server

SSL access can be enabled on a per -user group basis. SSL access can be invoked for the Super User,

for all NOC accounts, for all Admin accounts, or any combination of the three. Once SSL access has

been enabled for the user group then all members of that user group must use SSL to connect to the

Horizon Compact Web browser. Even if SSL access is not required for the user group, those users may

access the Horizon Compact Web browser through HTTPS (SSL) as a security measure.

12.6.1 Generating a Certificate on Horizon Compact

In order to generate an SSL certificate on Horizon Compact, the user must be logged in as either a NOC

or Super User access level. The SSL certificate is tied to the Horizon Compact IP address. If the Horizon

Compact IP address is changed, then the SSL certificate should be regenerated. Otherwise the browser

SSL session will allow access but it will report that the certificate is invalid. In this situation, it is the

browser user's responsibility to verify that the proper Horizon Compact is being accessed and that the

invalid certificate is due to an IP address change.
