Confidentiality Notice
This installation, operation, and maintenance manual contains sensitive business and technical
information that is confidential and proprietary to GAI-Tronics. GAI-Tronics retains all intellectual
property and other rights in or to the information contained herein. Use this information only in
connection with the operation of your GAI-Tronics product or system. Do not disclose this manual in any
form, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to any third party.
Overview
The E3 (Elemec3) Portal application runs on a PC on the same Ethernet network as the E3 controller(s).
Use this application to monitor E3 system activity and status and upload and download system
configuration files to/from E3 system controllers. The E3 Portal application does not make changes to the
E3 system configuration; use the Elemec3 Console application to make system configuration changes.
Refer to GAI-Tronics Pub. 42004-550 at https://www.hubbell.com/gai-tronics/en for information on E3
system programming.
The Portal application monitors system activity and provides status of E3 system components. The
application displays system status in real time. Selection buttons filter information by equipment,
category, or event type. Multiple PCs can run the E3 Portal application, providing more than one
monitoring location.
NOTE: The Portal application can only connect to one E3 controller at a time; and only a single instance
of the Portal application can run on a PC at any time. E3 systems containing redundant controllers
require disconnection from controller A before connecting to controller B.
NOTE: To comply with the granted CCS approval, only use the following alarm tones with the stated
format in a CCS compliant system for the purpose specified.
Alarm Name
Alarm
Alarm Tone
PAPA Alarm
1
interrupted tone 800 Hz, 0.5 s on, 0.5 s off, repeating
GPA Alarm
2
7 × 1 kHz, 1 s on, 1 s off, followed by 5 s on, repeating
Toxic Gas Alarm
3
constant 1 kHz tone
Fire Alarm
3
constant bell tone
NOTE: To comply with the granted CCS approval, loudspeakers that have a manual volume control shall
have an integrated volume restoration relay controlled by the E3 controller(s) to bypass the
volume control setting of the loudspeaker in the event of an alarm in a CCS compliant system.

Software Installation
Installation Requirements
The host computer must have AIR installed before installing the Elemec3 Portal application. The software
is free. Download and install the newest version from https://airsdk.harman.com/.
After installing AIR, install the E3 Portal application as described below.
Installation Procedure
1. Insert the installation CD into the CD drive or insert a USB storage device containing the Elemec3
Portal application installation file.
2. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the CD or other installation file location and double click on the
ElemecPortal file.
3. Click the INSTALL button when the following screen appears:
Figure 1. Installing the Elemec3 Portal Software
4. Use the check boxes (see Figure 2) to select the INSTALLATION PREFERENCES, then click the
CONTINUE button. Keep the default installation location or change it, if necessary.

Figure 3. Completing the Installation
E3 Controller Host IP Addresses
The E3 controller factory default IP address is the static address 192.168.1.25 with subnet mask
255.255.255.0. Systems with A/B redundant controllers receive the default IP addresses, 192.168.1.25,
for controller A and 192.168.1.26 for controller B.
Use either static IP or DHCP addresses for the controller address(es). Make connections to E3 controllers
using the controller host names if DNS service is available.
Consult the network administrator for proper configuration of the host computer and Elemec3 system(s).

E3 Portal Application Execution
The ADMINISTRATION UTILITY splash screen appears momentarily as the program starts:
Figure 4. Administration Utility Welcome Screen
E3 System Controller Discovery
The program’s auto-discovery feature searches for Elemec3 controllers on the network. The autodiscovery feature launches, by default, when the program starts. The following screen appears during the
discovery process. Disable the auto-discovery feature in the Portal options, if desired (see the Options
section).
NOTE: The maximum number of simultaneous portal connections to an E3 controller is ten. E3
controllers reject connection requests after ten users connect to the controller.

The application lists the discovered E3 systems upon successful auto discovery (see Figure 6). Each entry
represents a different E3 controller. The names in the list are the names of the configuration files currently
running on each E3 controller.
Figure 6. Elemec Auto Discover Screen
REFRESH SYSTEMS—performs a new auto-discovery for E3 controllers on the network.
MANUAL CONNECT—opens a dialog box to enter the IP address or host name specifying the E3 controller
to connect to.

system.
VIEW SYSTEM SNAPSHOTS—Displays snapshots previously captured from a running system (see the
System Snapshots section).
E3 System Controller Connection
1. Select the desired configuration from the auto-discover list and click CONNECT.
The ELEMEC PORTAL LOGIN dialog box appears (see Figure 7).
2. Enter the username and password.
3. Select the SAVE LOGIN DATA FOR THIS SESSION checkbox to save the ID and password for future
logins.
NOTE: Only use this option on a personally dedicated PC.
4. Click LOGIN.

Elemec3 Portal Security
The Elemec3 Portal uses user logins and security features to control access to and functionality of the
application. After a successful connection to the Elemec3 system, enter a username and password to gain
access to view system status and perform system maintenance.
New E3 controllers have a default administrator-level user account with access to create and configure
additional user accounts. The initial login is:
Default username: admin
Default password: password
NOTE: Remove the default administrator account after setting up all necessary users. This step helps
maintain the integrity of the E3 controller security (see the Manage Users section on Page 15).
User Levels
The five user levels from lowest to highest permission levels are:
•
Guest (no password required)—view-only access to system status information
•
Viewer—configurable permissions
•
Operator—configurable permissions
•
Maintenance—configurable permissions
•
Administrator—configurable permissions and can configure permissions for other levels (default)
User Types
In addition to the different user levels, there are two user types: public and private:
•
Public—Users cannot change their password. An administrator must change passwords. For example,
assign a public account with a common username and password to maintenance users.
•
Private—Users can change their own password. Use private user types for higher access levels.
Rules regarding user management:
•
Users can only edit permissions below their own user level.
•
User levels given permission to edit users can manage user level, access, and passwords of any user.
•
Private users can change their own password, regardless of user editing permissions.
•
Changes to permissions of a user level will log off all connected users at that level.

E3 Portal Administration Utility Screen
The ADMINISTRATION UTILITY opens to the ADMINISTRATION screen upon connection to an E3 controller
(see Figure 10). This screen provides access to all Elecmec3 system information and status for the
connected E3 controller:
•
Functionality depends on the level and permissions of the current user.
•
Identification of the current user is at the bottom of the screen.
•
Use the SWITCH USER button to work with a different account (see the Switch User section).
The buttons across the top and the three buttons at the bottom of the window, access system functions, and
are always visible (see Figure 10 and Table 1 and the System Functions section).

Update the System ID—Instructs the currently connected controller to assume the role of the other
controller. This causes the other controller to take on the configuration of the currently connected
controller, effectively swapping the roles of the two controllers.
Connection Settings
Default Connection Type
•
Manual Connection—requires the user to enter the IP address or host name of the E3 system.
•
Auto-Discover Systems—automatically starts a search for E3 systems connected to the network.
•
Discovery Interval—the period that each NIC (network interface card) waits for a response from an
E3 controller throughout the auto-discover process.
Confirm Disconnect—requires confirmation before disconnection.
Use Hostnames?—configures the Portal application to use host names instead of IP addresses. Using this
option requires a properly functioning DNS server on the network.
