Presentation
AlertWeb is the browser-based remote access interface for Alert. It allows operators to monitor alarms, consult history, and interact with the Alert server from any workstation without installing any client software.
AlertWeb is hosted on IIS (Internet Information Services) and accessed through a standard web browser on the local network or over the internet.
Use Cases
AlertWeb is suited for:
- Operators who need occasional access to Alert without a dedicated workstation
- Remote supervision over the internet
- Environments where installing AlertClient is not practical
