6.5 Provisioning
The process of setting up all the thresholds, labels, and other software-configured settings is 
called “Provisioning”. Provisioning can be accomplished remotely either via an SNMP-compliant 
application-specific software package, or via the site-controller’s built-in web interface. While, 
provisioning via SNMP is complex without specialized software and is beyond the scope of this 
document, these devices have been designed to work with a variety of software packages 
 
Provisioning via the site-controller’s built-in web page is comprehensive and easy. The user can 
specify custom labels for the site controller name, the site location, the name of each string, and 
the name or type of each jar. In addition, the user can set alarm thresholds for every monitored 
parameter, including individual alarm thresholds for each jar. Other user-generated parameters 
include the interval at which batteries will be tested and an initial “reference level’ for 
measurements and 
alarm generation. 
 
User-defined settings 
via the web page are 
password protected 
so that only 
authorized personnel 
can change these 
settings. There are 
two levels of 
password. The 
default user password 
is “user”. The default 
administrative 
password is “admin”. 
Passwords are case 
sensitive and can be 
up to 19 characters in 
length. The 
passwords can be 
changed from the 
Telnet configuration 
port described later in 
this document. 
 
Once a valid 
password has been 
entered the selected 
page will be displayed. The password will timeout in there is no activity for 10 minutes or if the 
Web Browser is closed. 
 
In each of the web pages, any display field that has user-definable alarm settings associated with 
it will display a button with an “A” inside it next to the field. Fields with other settings will 
display a button with S. Clicking on the button will display a web page with the settings.
