Mobile Web Application| 
What is it?
The Maco Lighting Mobile Web Application allows any web enabled mobile device to have access to the control system. It allows easy configuration of both wired and wireless DALI devices. Installers familiar with this product would find this method fast and efficient. Advantages By using a standard web interface the control functions of the NGW are accessible from many off-the-shelf devices that are already used for more common purposes. The mobile formatted application makes this interface easily accessible by devices with smaller screens such as iPhones and Android smartphones. Using this device allows a single installer to commission a job without returning to the control system or the server PC. This reduces the commissioning time, which effectively reduces the installation costs Features The application includes a number of functions designed to help with commissioning and maintenance of the system. Some of the included features are: - Physical selection of devices
- Remote testing and identification of devices
- Name and Location setting
- Remote status updates
- Reduces the requirement to return to the server
- Allows a user to update the status of the device in the field.

It also contains information on how to interpret physical status indicators on the devices themselves. | 
ConfigurationOnce the device has been selected the user can easily adjust the details of the device such as name, location and level. The name of the device is read directly from the device itself, This reduces the problems and time associated with entering this information manually The location field is used to describe where the device can be found (for example room 2.14). The level field is used to track the floor of the building that the device is on. The physical address refers to the fitting number, which is assigned by the installer. This number is a physical representation of the device's location and should be marked on the building plans accordingly.
