The Konak Chicken Farming Company, based in Sakarya, in North-West Turkey, is using ComAp controllers on their generators to ensure that the climate control and other essential systems remain online.
"Electrical energy for Chicken farming is vital. In all of our units, the power generation systems were designed as redundant to one another. Especially in summer, in case of power cut, there is a very high risk that the chicken may die in a couple of minutes. When we examined ComAp WebSupervisor system, we agreed that the mentioned system is the most suitable system for us in order to avoid product losses and increase the efficiency. We can therefore monitor and follow our units instantly. In addition, we have implemented some alarms to ComAp controllers that we need for our system. This way, our current system became even much safer. Thanks to ComAp controllers and WebSupervisor, we can monitor our system remotely and faster."
Mr. Ozer Konak
founder and owner of the Konak Chicken Farming Company

ComAp Cloud Identity
What is ComAp cloud identity (CCI)?
ComAp Cloud identity is an upcoming new service from ComAp. The service will provide a single user account secured by multifactor authentication (MFA) and valid across all ComAp web-based services like WebSupervisor, ComAp club and others in the future. WebSupervisor will be the first service connected with ComAp identity portal and it will offer benefit of MFA.
Is using ComAp cloud identity mandatory?
Starting from December 1, 2022, ComAp cloud identity is mandatory for all WebSupervisor Lite users, new accounts and subaccounts and for those who want to use benefit from MFA. It is still voluntary for WebSupervisor Pro account, that were created before December 1, 2022, till February 1, 2023.
When the legacy login will be forbidden for Lite users?
December 1, 2022, 12:00 UTC.
Will be login through CCI mandatory also for sub-accounts?
Yes, all Lite users (with accounts and sub-accounts) will be covered.
We have one account and share credentials for legacy login into WSV account with more users. Can we share one account when using CCI also in future?
Sharing one WSV account or sub-account with multiple users is strongly discouraged. The risk of credentials being stolen is too high and it decreases the security of WSV account.
Each user who wants to access WSV account in future must have own identity and own WSV account or sub-account.
Nevertheless it is not necessary to create all unique accounts/sub-accounts till December 1, 2022, it can be done anytime after BUT before sub-users want to use WSV.
Do I have to create CCI account and link with WSV account before Dec 1, 2022?
No, you can do it anytime later, but before using your WSV account.
Will be CCI login mandatory also for the WSV mobile application?
Yes. Login through CCI into WSV will be mandatory for all Lite users (account and sub-account). There is not difference if you login through a web or a mobile application. It is still one WSV account.
Is it possible to create ComAp cloud identity account from the WSV mobile application?
No, you must go to www.websupervisor.net and create the identity account there. You can do it from the mobile phone. It is not necessary to have a laptop/computer.
Is there any option how to postpone login through ComAp identity for some regions as e.g. Africa?
No. CCI was introduced in September 2021. Simultaneously we informed all users about transition period when they will be able to use legacy login and have time to move to CCI. Transition period was 1 year. It is sufficient period for all regions.
Reminder about upcoming change was sent via email at the start of November 2022, a month before planned change and followed by alert reminder sent 3 days before and displayed in WSV application after login.
Is available a guide how to create account in ComAp cloud identity?
Yes, the guide is available in Italian, German, Spanish and French language. You can find it at WebSupervisor product page.
What about WSV Pro users? Is it true they can still use legacy login after Dec 1, 2022?
Yes, WSV Pro users, that were WSV Pro users before December 1, 2022, can still use legacy login till February 1, 2023.
I am using API, is there any change after I will use ComAp cloud identity?
Yes, you have to change authentication method (API version 1.1) that is cooperating with Comap cloud identity. For more information please see WebSupervisor guide – page 102.
Multifactor Authentication
What is multifactor authentication (MFA)?
Multifactor authentication offers higher level of security for the user account.
MFA allows access after at least two types of authentications are provided. The activation of MFA for WebSupervisor is voluntary and it is possible to set in WSV account setting or during ComAp identity registration.
Why is MFA Important?
The main benefit of MFA requires users to identify themselves by more than a username and password. Just using username and password is vulnerable to brute force attack and can be stolen by third parties. Using of an MFA factor like a push notification with code or scanning of QR code increases confidence that your account will remain safe from cyber criminals.
How often I have to authenticate via MFA if it is activated?
When you turn on MFA, you will have to use it every time you will log into WSV. It is either after you log out, when you are logging in on a new device, when you haven't been in your WSV account for more than 14 days or once each 90 days no matter what.
How long is a authentication token valid?
Authentication token is valid for 60 minutes but can be automatically refreshed for 14 days since last action. When those 14 days pass, you have to log in again. New login will be also forced every 90 days even when you don't let your token expire.
Is multifactor authentication available also for Lite users?
Yes, MFA is available for all account types.
Units
I cannot register a unit
- You do not have permission to do it (you are not an Admin)
- You did not fill all mandatory fields (fields with an asterisk)
- Somebody already registered the unit under a different account (you see the message: you register the unit already registered under different account of WebSupervisor)
A new unit can be registered under the account in Management – units section by click on the button “Add unit”. Only administrators of the account have this permission
Why is a unit in "No Communication" state
- All communication slots of the unit are occupied by other connected tools
- The unit is not connected to internet
- An issue with the firewall settings
- Connection issue in internet on the way to WebSupervisor
What ports have to be enabled when I use firewall
In the case of AirGate communication, the following ports have to be enabled:
- Port TCP 23 – for communication with unit
- UDP 6127 – for checking a unit status
Locate function does not show position
Unfortunately Locate function is obsolete.
In some locations "Locate" still works well, but there are still increasing places where we do not have enough information for calculating the correct position. Then the calculated position is either inaccurate or we get no result and that is why the unit position is not set to pin on the map.
Why should share the unit?
Every device can be registered under WebSupervisor only one time.
If more users need monitor/manage the unit under WebSupervisor, the unit can be shared among more accounts or subaccounts.
Only a user with permission "Modify" can share the units.
The unit can be shared under:
- Subaccount of the account
- Foreign accounts
Where can I set sharing of the unit?
The sharing is possible to set in Unit management in permission subsection (User management in permission subsection).
For sharing the unit under a foreign account, it is necessary to know the LoginID (username) of the person you want to share a unit with.
If the unit is shared under foreign subaccount, the unit is available also to administrator of the account where the unit had been shared with all shared permissions.
What does mean "Home server" and why I should set it correctly?
Home server is set during registration process. Home server is a server where your account will be registered. Currently we have two servers worldwide – in Europe and in Australia.
Correct choice of home server increases the speed of the application and displayed data. Also it allows your data to be stored in your territory.
How many communication slots does a unit have?
It depends on the type of connection.
A controller communicating via AirGate has a maximum of two communication slots.
A Controller communicating via a public IP address has a maximum of three communication slots.
Note: a communication slot allows a user to create connections between a controller and a tool (WebSupervisor, IMON, GenConfig) simultaneously.
InternetBridge NT has three communication slots:
- Up to 3 IP based
- 2 IP and 1 AirGate
- 2 AirGate slots and 1 IP
How is WebSupervisor secured?
WebSupervisor is hosted on Microsoft Azure platform.
WebSupervisor combines HW and SW security. It includes encrypted communication between the WebSupervisor server and a controller, and between the WebSupervisor server and client computer. Connection between the WebSupervisor server and the client computer uses SSL protocol.
More information is possible to find in a security statement which is available at www.comap-control.com/products/detail/websupervisor.
Add-ons
What is the online refresh period?
The online refresh period is the period by which data is read and displayed in the application for any user logged into the application.
The default refresh period for WebSupervisor Lite account is 60 seconds.
The default refresh period for WebSupervisor Pro account is 60 seconds; a faster online period 30 seconds is available in Unit settings. Changing the refresh period is possible only by a user with "Modify" permission.
It is possible to set a faster refresh period than 30 seconds – it is extra paid feature offered for WebSupervisor Pro subscription only.
It is possible to set a refresh period for individual units, so you can choose what units will have faster or slower refresh period.
What is the Offline refresh period?
The offline refresh period is the period by which data is stored into database if no user is logged into the application. Information from the database is used for reports and trend analysis.
The default refresh period for WebSupervisor Lite and WebSupervisor Pro subscription is 60 minutes.
WebSupervisor Pro accounts have the option to speed up the offline refresh period up to 1 minute (extra paid feature).
It is possible to set the offline refresh period for individual units, so you can choose what units will have faster or slower refresh period.
The refresh period can be set by a user with "Modify" permission.
Note: Faster refresh periods causes bigger data consumption during connection.
Where can I find API documentation?
API documentation is available from www.websupervisor.net under API in the Menu.
How can I activate the API?
By default, 1500 API queries are available in WebSupervisor Pro subscription.
The API has to be activated before the first use. It can be done only by an administrator of the account in Account Settings in the Management section.
It is done in "Management/Users" section by the checkboxes in the table of all users, or in user settings in Account Information. Selecting the checkbox automatically creates an account in API Management.
What is an online connection and how it is calculated?
Online connection is a connection created between a client you used (e.g. browser in your computer) and WebSupervisor server (your account).
It is counted every connection created (your computer, mobile, tablet …)
- Limitation for WebSupervisor Lite is 10 online connections
- Limitation for WebSupervisor Pro is 25 online connections
The number of connections is it not the same as the number users registered under your account or number of logged in users, because even one user can create several online connections (if they are simultaneously connected from computer, mobile and tablet).
