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.

The access for Onboard administration is divided into 2 access levels:

• basic, through Web UI's Devices view
• 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).
