Remote FS2 Control Via a Web Browser
The FS2 web interface consists of a built-in optimized web server that provides
control via a web browser running on a network-attached computer. The FS2
browser screens are presented and described on the following pages, organized
as they appear in the browser. The description tables list the parameter menu
numbers in parentheses so you can quickly relate screens to front panel menus.
Supported browsers: Firefox 4, Internet Explorer 9, and Safari 5 are the
supported FS2 web browsers. Others are likely to work but are not guaranteed.
Supported RJ45 Ethernet network connections:
• Closed local area network (LAN)
• Straight computer-to-FS2 cable connection
• Broadband wide area network (WAN) with the firewall opened for the FS2
(not recommended since anyone on the internet can then access the FS2)
Internally the FS2 senses and adapts to either a “straight-through” CAT 5
Ethernet cable or null-modem (crossover) cable using standard RJ45
connectors. No setup or strapping is needed to adapt to the cable.
For browser access, enter the FS2 IP address in the browser's address field.
By default, the FS2 is set to automatically connect to your network's DHCP
server to get an IP address and other network configuration data. You will find
the IP address in CONFIG Menu Group parameter 2.2 as follows:
1. Press the CONFIG button on the FS2 front panel.
2. Turn the SELECT knob until you reach parameter 2.2 IP Address.
3. Enter the IP address shown in 2.2 in the browser address field.
When the browser successfully connects to the FS2, the main Status screen
shown on the next page is displayed. If the browser fails to
connect, make sure CONFIG settings 2.1 through 2.4 (IP, subnet, and
gateway addressing) match the network setup of the browser host.
See the CONFIG details later in this section for how to set these
values. You can either make the computer match the FS2, or make
the FS2 match your computer.
