Frequently Asked Questions
Q; Can I use my PC or Mac computer to access the same remote control interface used for the iPhone/iTouch.
A: YES, while this interface was designed and optimized for use directly on the iPhone/iTouch device, you can access this
interface from a PC or Macintosh computer, providing that you are using a “Mozilla” based web browser which include Safari for
Mac or PC, Firefox for Mac or PC or Google’s Chrome for the PC. In order to access this interface you will need to point your
browser to the appropriate URL and add a device type to the URL so that the browser type detection is bypassed, where you
would normally be directed to the standard full Qsonix Web Interface. Use the following URL, and bookmark it for future
access.
ystem IP/?type=iphone

Q; Can I use the Safari browser back button to navigate through the iPhone Interface.
When browsing through your music library, the Qsonix remote interface will typically provide a “back” button in the upper left
hand corner of the interface that will return you to the previous viewed item or list. For instance if you select a particular album
and are viewing the track list for that album this button will indicate “albums” and when pressed go back one level to the albums
list again. In many cases you can also use the “browser back” button at the bottom of the screen, in some instances this may
not work properly, requiring you to use the shortcut menu options at the top of the page to return to the Home Page or
navigate to another page to refresh the browser.
Q; Can I use multiple iPhone, iTouch or PC devices to control my Qsonix system.
A: YES, Using multiple devices is a great way to address the multiple outputs/zones of the Qsonix systems. You can utilize
multiple devices, each set for a specific zone to enable discrete control of the systems multiple outputs. Note that more than
one device set to the same zone will work, however both devices will be in contention for the latest operation, or the last
person to perform a function will win effectively.
Q: Can I use a specific IP address instead of the my.qsonix.com/serial# mechanism.
A: YES, you can access the iPhone interface using the explicit IP address of your Qsonix system. This works best if your Qsonix
system has been configured with a static IP address so that it does not change. WARNING: If you Qsonix system is configured
with a dynamic IP (DHCP) address, it is possible that the Qsonix IP will change from time to time, making any bookmarks or
shortcuts invalid, In this case you would need to obtain the current IP address of the system and point your iPhone Safari
browser at the current IP address to re-establish communications. The my.qsonix.com/serial# automatically discovers the
current address and is highly recommended as the standard way to access the system.
