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 configuration or strapping.
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, enter its IP address in the web browser. The IP address is
defined in parameter 50.2 of the FS1’s Network parameter menus—please note that
parameters 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), you can find the IP address
by pressing the Status button on the FS1 front panel until the Network Status display
is shown or you can go to parameter 50.2 and read 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, 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.
