vSafe Management Front Panel Design and Development

Abstract:
This paper presents a developed server management panel for the vSafe backup system, addressing challenges in the secure and efficient management of the proprietary backup unit. The design includes a graphical user interface, implementation schema, circuit design, and a custom communication protocol that specifies data syntax and semantics received via a serial interface. The graphical user interface is built using the Nextion Editor, with all communication and control protocols implemented in C for embedded microcontrollers. Testing demonstrates the server management panel’s capability to handle various operational scenarios, providing a responsive and userconfigurable solution that enhances usability.
