User Manual – Version 1.2
Confidentiality Notice
This manual is provided solely as an operational, installation, and maintenance guide and contains sensitive
business and technical information that is confidential and proprietary to GAI-Tronics. GAI-Tronics
retains all intellectual property, other rights in or to the information contained herein, and such information
may only be used in connection with the operation of your GAI-Tronics product or system. This manual
may not be disclosed in any form, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to any third party.

Overview
The Elemec3 (E3) Portal application runs on any PC connected to the same Ethernet network as the E3
Controller. This software package is used to upload and download system configuration files to/from the
E3 System Controller. The Portal application is not used to make changes to the system configuration.
Changes are made using the Elemec3 Console application. Refer to GAI-Tronics Pub. 42004-483 for
information on system programming.

The Portal application is also used to monitor system activity and status reporting of E3 system
components. System status is displayed in real time. Selection buttons are provided allowing the
operator to filter the information by equipment category or event types. Multiple PCs can run the E3
Portal application, providing more than one monitoring location.
NOTE: Only a single instance of the Portal application can be connected to one E3 Controller at a time,
and only a single instance of the Portal application can run on one PC at a time. In E3 systems containing
redundant controllers, the user must disconnect from Controller “A” before connecting to Controller “B”.

Installing and Registering the Software

Installation Requirements
Prior to installing the Elemec3 Portal application, the host computer must have Adobe AIR installed.
The software is free, and the newest version can be downloaded and installed from Adobe’s internet
website, http://get.adobe.com/air.

After installing Adobe AIR, the E3 Portal application can be installed as described below.

Installation Procedure
1. Insert the installation CD into the CD drive or insert a USB storage device containing the Elemec3
Portal application installation file.

Host Computer IP Address

By default, the E3 Controller IP address is factory set to the static IP address 192.168.1.25 with a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0. If A/B redundant controllers are being used in the system, the “A” Controller
will have the default IP address of 192.168.1.25. The “B” Controller will have the default IP address of
192.168.1.26.

Depending on the network configuration, either static IP or DHCP can be used. If a DNS server is
available, connection can be made using the Elemec3 host name.

Consult with your network administrator for proper configuration of the host computer and Elemec3
system(s).

Running the Portal Application

The Administration Utility Welcome screen shown in Figure 4 appears momentarily as the program is
starting.

Connecting to an Elemec3 Controller

The program has an auto-discovery feature that will search for any Elemec3 Controllers on the network.
By default, the auto-discovery feature launches automatically when the program is started. The following
screen appears during the discovery process. Optionally, the auto-discovery feature can be disabled.

NOTE: The maximum number of simultaneous Portal connections to an E3 controller is 10. If 10 users
are connected to an E3 controller, subsequent connection requests will be rejected.

Figure 5. Elemec Auto Discovery in Progress screen

If no E3 controllers (or systems) are found, the Elemec Auto Discover FAILED screen as shown in Figure
6 will appear.

Elemec Portal Security

Access to and functionality of the Elemec3 Portal application is controlled through a system of user
logins and security features. After a successful connection to the Elemec3 system, users must enter their
username and password to gain access to viewing the system status and performing any type of system
maintenance.

On any new system, a default Administrator-level user account is provided on the E3 controller with
access to create and configure the system’s other user accounts. The initial login is:
Default username: admin
Default password: password

To maintain the integrity of the E3 controller security, it is highly recommended that this account be
removed once all the necessary users have been set up by the on-site administrator.

Refer to the Manage Users screen on page 15 of this manual for more information.

Defining Users
User Levels

The five user levels listed from lowest to highest permission levels are:
 Guest (no password required) – view-only access to system status information.
 Viewer – Configurable permissions.
 Operator – Configurable permissions.
 Maintenance – Configurable permissions.
 Administrator – Configurable permissions and can configure permissions for other levels (default).

User Types

In addition to the different user levels, there are two user types: Public and Private:
 Public – cannot change their password. By default, passwords must be changed by an Administrator.
For example, maintenance users can be assigned a common username and password.
 Private – can change their password. Private user types are recommended for higher access levels.

There are a few key rules regarding user management:

 Users can only edit permissions below their own user level.
 User levels given permission to edit users can manage user level, access and passwords of any user.
 Private users can change their own password, regardless of user editing permissions.
 Changes to permissions of a user level will log off all connected users at that level.

Editing Users
User permissions are edited through the User Management window shown in Figure 22 on page 15. The
current permissions are displayed upon opening. To edit any specific level, click EDIT at the top of the
column. Refer to the “Manage Users” section on page 15 for more information.

Administration Utility Screen

Upon connecting to an E3 Controller, the Administration Utility screen appears. An example appears in
Figure 9 below. This screen provides the “gateway” access to Elecmec3 system features. Its
functionality depends on the level and permissions of the current user. The current user and the user level
are always identified at the bottom of the screen. The user can be switched using the SWITCH USER
button.

The function of the buttons indicated with “A” through “M” in the example in Figure 9 below are defined
in Table 1 and examples of their use are included in this manual.
