CONTROLLING MS300 FROM A WEB
BROWSER
MS300 contains a built-in web server which means you
can connect to your MS300 and remotely control it using a
standard web browser from a PC, Mac, or PDA over your
home network.
SETTING UP THE MS300 WEB SERVER
Your MS300 acts as a web server on your network allowing
you to connect and control the MS300 using your PC or Mac
computer. This web server is automatically configured and
started each time the MS300 is plugged in. You connect to
the server from your PC or Mac using Internet Explorer or
Safari (Mac OSX) using TCP/IP addressing over your home
network. You can use a wireless or wired Ethernet network,
as long as you have a DHCP router or if you have assigned
static IP addresses. Please contact your McIntosh Dealer if
you need assistance with setup a home network.
The MS300 Server Name entered on the Server Settings
Menu in the SETUP/NETWORK menus is used for the web
address to access the MS300 web interface.
USING THE WEB USER INTERFACE
Using the Web User Interface displayed in your Web
Browser, you can control almost every aspect of your
MS300. The Web User Interface is setup very similarly to
MS300’s own TV user interface allowing access to each
source (Music and Radio) as well as all major features such
as Setup, Guide/Player, Options and Edit Screens.

Use your keyboard and mouse to navigate the web interface
