4 Dashboard
After completion of the commissioning process, the user is auto-directed to the Dashboard, which is the default view of the web application and the future starting point for the user when logging in to the web application.
The Dashboard provides the user with an overview of the site status and shows live data from the most critical system components. From here, the user also has access to the Settings menu to change selected configurations for the various system components. The user is also able to perform basic system tests, send a few system commands and view any active system alerts.

4.1.2 Converter Units
On this page, the connection status of all registered Converter Units is presented. The information is the same as on the Unit Registration page in System Commissioning. From here, the user has the opportunity to unregister any registered Converter Units that are to be disconnected (see figure 4.2).
Before unregistering a registered unit, please be aware of the following:
All AC/Solar power must be switched off before unregistering,
After pressing the 'Unregister' button, the unit will no longer communicate with the RMC. This will bring the system into Registration Mode. The unit can now be disconnected.
Press Refresh to update the system status. The unit should no longer appear in the list of Converter Units. If the unregistered unit still remains in the list of units after refreshing, repeat the Register/Unregister sequence with the unit disconnected and press Refresh again.
Similarly, when an additional Converter Unit is connected to the system after Commissioning, the system will enter Registration Mode and the user is advised to enter this page and register the new unit. All AC/Solar power must be switched off when registering a unit as well.
4.1.3 Active Alerts
In the upper right corner of the Dashboard view, a tab with the current active alerts communicated by the system is available. To display the alerts, press the alarm bell. The number of currently active alerts is indicated (see figure 4.3).
When corrective actions have been taken to clear an alert, it will disappear from this tab.
4.2 Settings
Under the 'Settings' menu, the user access to selected configuration parameters, sorted by system components in the various tabs. Any changes to configuration parameters must be confirmed by pressing the 'Save' button.
The available configuration parameters with short descriptions are listed in the following sections.
