46 Working with Base Stations from Your PC TB9400 Installation and Operation Manual
© Tait Limited December 2013 (Draft)
4.1 PC Recommendations
We recommend the following PC hardware and software for connecting to
a TB9400 base station:
■ SVGA Monitor (1024 x 768 minimum).
■ Network connection.
■ Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR), currently version
17.0.7; Microsoft Internet Explorer version 8 or version 9.
The base station has been tested with these browsers, however other
modern browsers should also be compatible.
4.2 Connecting Your PC to the Base Station
You connect to a base station using your web browser. Using multiple
browser windows or tabs, you can view more than one base station and
more than one page of any base station at once. Base stations have a web-
based interface that provides the pages you view. Up to ten users may be
logged in to a base station at once.
The base station has three different user access levels: Administrator,
Maintainer, and Monitor. Passwords can be defined for each level. This is
done using the base station’s web interface (Tools > Tools > User
Administration). Refer to the Help for more information on setting user
access levels.
