+=== Altronic Web Interface Overview===
+In order to commission and interface with Altronic systems a webpage application AWI (Altronic Web Interface) has been designed for all new and legacy products. While there are some benefits of being online for the latest updates and build options, its main intent is to be fully functional off-line while still hosted in a browser window.
+There is no need to download any third party software, or worry about updates to your operating system. This new Altronic Web Interface replaces the traditional “terminal program”. One additional feature of the AWI tool is that it very easily becomes the same view for a permanently mounted display, which will be discussed further in this document.
+==== AWI applications====
+Once connected based on the tutorial below, an AWI application will need to be launched. As discussed the AWI is based on a web browser approach. The full AWI can be downloaded individually and then configured, or individual product specific instances can be downloaded as a starting point and then modified.
+These can be found on the downloads page of the Altronic Public Github repository.\\

 ===  AWI with a Computer ===
-It is best to set up the network adapter or ethernet port without having the AFR-500 device connected, then plug in the ethernet cable, and lastly power up the AFR-500. Once all communications have been established with the AWI and the computer, hot swapping the ethernet and power up/down is not an issue. If all connections are performed for the first time while the AFR-500 is powered, the device will need to be power cycled once all connections and settings have been made.

 In order to communicate with the device over ethernet, the IP address of our computer needs changed.

-=== Launching the AWI Application ===
-As previously discussed, there is a browser based user interface tool that now allows commissioning and interaction with Altronic products. All that is needed is the html file that can be found here: XXXXXXX and is called “AFR-500 Rev 0”
 === Connection Parameters ===
 Upon launching the html file a prompt will ask for the connection settings. The device name should already be listed then the following settings need entered.
-  * Address - 192.168.1.23 (this is the IP address of the AFR-500)
+  * Address - associated device IP address
   * Port - 80
   * Node - 1
