= Onboard Administration =

The Onboard installation combines the main Onboard applications for logging
and uploading data to Onshore at https://web.oceanvisuals.no with a standalone
(locally deployed) version of Onshore services that enable to (re)use the same
web based user interface (Web UI) from https://web.oceanvisuals.no in offline mode.

== Web UI

[wiki:WikiStart#web-ui Overview]

The access for Onboard administration is divided into 3 access levels:
  * basic, through Web UI's //Devices// view
  * maintenance, access to LIDAR's configuration 
  * advanced, direct access to the Onboard PC's operating system

=== Devices View
The //Devices// view provides a list (1) of Onboard devices and allows to switch
individual devices //On// and //Off// (2) and control the Onshore uploader (3).

Switching //On// or //Off// the Onshore uploader will enable or disable offline
mode of the Onboard installation.
