FS2 Control
FS2 operation can be monitored and changed in a number of ways. Feature sets in each
of the control methods vary, although the front panel and web browser interfaces offer
many of the same features.
Front Panel Control
The FS2 front panel offers the most direct control, ideal for use in machine rooms or
wherever quick changes and status checks must be made. The buttons and knobs
control menus in the display, allowing you to fully configure the system according to
your purposes. You can control inputs, outputs, processing paths, keying, and much
more.
Remote Web
Browser Control
The FS2 internally contains an optimized web server that allows remote monitoring and
parameter setting via an Ethernet 10/100/1000 network-attached computer running a
web-browser. Networks can be closed local area networks, a straight computer-to-FS2
cable, or for greatest flexibility, exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN. From a
network-connected computer you can communicate with one or more FS2 devices, even
getting them to identify themselves via LEDs on the front and rear panel.
GPI Inputs and
Outputs
General Purpose Inputs and Outputs are available on the FS2 back panel to provide
contact closure control. Using the inputs, an external contact closure activates a specified
function on the FS2. Using the outputs, specific FS2 functions can produce a contact
closure to activate any desired function on external equipment. The functions to be
activated by an input or that can activate an output are set using the front panel and
browser menus.
SNMP Interface
Monitoring
SNMP offers remote network monitoring of alarm conditions.
