About the Web Client

The Scalar® i500 library user interface is available in two formats: the remote web client and the local operator panel. This online Help system provides information about how to use the web client. For information about the operator panel, see the Scalar i500 User's Guide or the operator panel online Help.

Library operations can be performed remotely on your computer using the web client or locally on the physical library using the operator panel. Both the web client and operator panel user interfaces are required to operate the library. Some functionality is only available through the web client, and some functionality is only available through the operator panel. However, due to ease of use, using the web client rather than the operator panel to perform library operations (when possible) is recommended. For more information about what functionality is available through the web client and operator panel, see the Scalar i500 User's Guide.

The web client supports the following web browsers: Mozilla Firefox™ 1.0.6 and later versions and Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions. You must disable web browser popup blockers to use the web client interface and the library’s online Help. In addition, add the library's IP address to the list of trusted/allowed sites on your supported browser, so the web client pages will automatically refresh.

Do not use your Internet browser Back button to navigate the web client. Instead, use the buttons provided within the web client.

For more information on user interface elements of the web client, see User Interface Elements. For information about the web client Home Page, see About the Home Page.
