57 FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — 35.1 Remote Control
35.1 Remote Control
This parameter determines how the FS1 panel responds to controls locally from the
front panel and from a network attached computer and web browser (or both). The
selected mode is clearly indicated by the color of the Remote button. (Note: the Remote
button and other front panel buttons and indicators are described in Chapter2.)
35.2 Authentication
This parameter determines whether password authentication is presented in order to
make FS1 changes.
Notes:
1. AJA recommends using the Disabled setting, unless it is absolutely necessary to use
the “Basic” setting, since the authentication used is only as good as the underlying
network security. This is due to the password being sent across the network in clear
text. Security follows the “Basic” authentication defined in RFC2617, which can be
read here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt
2. The default value is Disabled. It will be reset by a two-button hold down factory
reset, which will change this parameter back to Disabled; the single UP button
factory reset will not (see parameter 99.0 for information).
3. Changing Authentication to Disabled will also reset the System Password
parameter to the default password, which is “password”.
4. If you select Basic without first setting the password (via web), the default
password will be used. See parameter 123.2.
5. After changing this parameter to Basic, your browser will prompt for a username/
password for all access to the FS1. The FS1 ignores any supplied username. Only
the password will be used during authentication. If prompted for a password more
than once, please re-enter the proper password each time you are asked.
6. In the web browser, changing this parameter will show/hide the controls for setting
the password.
7. You may be prompted for a password before you are able to set a new password. In
this case, you need to enter the default password. (This happens because enabling
the feature enables it with the default password already set to “password” and all
traffic to/from the FS1 needs to be authenticated once this happens.)
