Remote FS1 Control Via a Web Browser
An optimized web server inside the FS1 allows you to remotely monitor and adjust
parameter settings via a network-attached computer running a web-browser. The
network can be a closed local area network, a straight computer-to-FS1 cable, or
even exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN (not generally recommended
since anyone on the internet can then access the FS1). The LAN connection on the
FS1 uses a standard RJ45 connector, but internally it’s intelligent and communicates
via standard “straight-through” CAT 5 ethernet cables or null-modem (cross-over)
cables without any configuration or strapping required.
Note: Firefox and Internet Explorer 7 are supported as web browsers for FS1
control. Other browser software may work, but AJA cannot guarantee operation.
To access the FS1, simply enter its URL in the web browser. The URL will be the IP
address defined in the FS1’s Network parameter menus (50.2—please note also that
50.1 through 50.4 must all be configured correctly to access the FS1 on your
network). If the FS1 is using DHCP (the default), the IP address can be found by
pressing the Status button on the FS1 front panel repeatedly until the Network
Status display is shown or by going to parameter 50.2 and reading it there. When
the FS1 is shipped from the AJA factory, the FS1 defaults to DHCP operation.
If 50.1 is set to DHCP, and the DHCP server on the network fails to grant an IP
address, then the FS1 will fall back to the IP address set in STATIC ADDR (50.2).
If 50.1 is set to Default Addr, the factory default static IP address is: 10.65.74.65.
So, if 50.1 is set to Default Addr, you would type the following in the web browser:
http://10.65.74.65 to see the FS1 web interface Main Status screen.
