This feature is only supported under Linux at this time.
The DALI system includes an Apache web server and a web application for remote administration of the DALI system. This system can be used to manage the DALI user authentication system, and view the board and alarm configuration on the server.
Follow the Installation instructions for DALI which includes installing DALI
Apache and running it. Then launch your web browser and open the URL
http://yourdomain.example.com/dali/admin/ replacing the example
domain with the correct domain name or IP address of your DALI system. A login
screen will appear.
Only the DALI administrator or members of the Administrators group can login
to this system. Login with the username admin and the default
password of welcome. This password should be changed immediately
after logging in for the first time.
This screen presents a list of registered DALI users. These are taken
from the DALI passwd file. The administrator has the option
of adding or removing users, or changing user passwords.
See the section on Users and Groups for more information on the role that they play in DALI security.
The admin user cannot be removed.
A button on the user management page allows the administrator to change the password for any user. This will bring up a new screen which asks the admin to type in the new password twice.
If the administrator changes the password for the user they are currently logged in as a login prompt will appear asking the user to login again using the new password.
This screen lists registered DALI groups and the members of those groups. The administrator can create and delete groups, and add or remove users from those groups using a pulldown menu of existing users.
See the section on Users and Groups for more
information on the role that they play in DALI security. Any user who is a
member of the Administrators group is allowed to log into the Web
Administration interface.
The Administrators group cannot be removed, and the admin
user cannot be removed from the Administrators group.
This screen lists the board configuration files on the server and summary information from each file. A button is available for each board to see a detail screen with information on configured channels. The Web Administration interface cannot be used to change this configuration.
For more information on these parameters see the Board Configuration section of the manual.
This screen shows details about the board configuration including all the different types of I/O channels available through DALI and the permissions for each channel.
For more information on these parameters see the Board Configuration section of the manual.
This screen shows all the currently active alarms on the DALI server. Each entry is associated with a DALI client request or an Alarm configuration file on the server.
A button is available on this screen to cancel the alarm. If a client request is associated with the alarm the server will notify the client that the alarm has been canceled.
See the Alarms section of the manul for more information on alarms.
Demos are available which show in an interactive way how to communicate with the DALI server. For example, web pages using the server-side PHP scripting language demonstrate each type of DALI function.
This screen shows a PHP web page using the DIOInputBit DALI call to include the value of a DIO input when generating the web page. The page shows the actual PHP code which obtained the value plus a form which you can use to try different inputs to the function.
