The WebMSM software is installed on a client PC and allows the user to
monitor and control the MTM400. The WebMSM can be used to monitor all
compatible devices on a network (if the appropriate license is held).

The Remote User Interface (RUI) software, based on the WebMSM, is
downloaded and accessed from the MTM400 using a browser (Microsoft
Internet Explorer with Microsoft Virtual Machine installed) of any networked
personal computer.

The provided HTML file allows you to open the RUI by typing in the URL

MAC Address

The Transport Stream Processor board in the MTM400 unit is assigned a unique
MAC (Media Access Control) address; this is also used as the unique address of
the complete unit. The MAC address is printed on labels attached to the Processor
card and the unit.

The MAC address is written as six pairs of hex digits separated by hyphens, for
example, '00-01-F8-A7-33-CC'.

The MAC address must be associated with an IP address for the unit to be able to
function within a network.
