eSite Web is accessed on site via a laptop or a smartphone using Wi-Fi or LAN cable. It provides the user with an overview of the status of eSite x10 and active alarms. It also offers a possibility to configure eSite x10 (see figure 4.1).
eSite Web allows two user levels. Each user requires a user name and a password.
The default passwords is provided by eSite Power Systems.
The passwords can be changed by the Admin user.
