BaseStation 1000 Irrigation Controller Manual
Using Local LiveView to Remotely Operate the Controller
If you can connect an Ethernet cable between your controller and a live Ethernet port on your local
area network, you can enable the controller’s web server and then use Local LiveView™ on a
computer or other web-enabled device that is connected to the same network.
IMPORTANT NOTE! You cannot use Local LiveView to remotely operate the controller from outside
the local network. If you want to operate the controller from an external network, you need to use
Internet-based LiveView or BaseManager.
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the controller board and plug the
other end of the cable into a live Ethernet jack.
2. Perform the steps in Setting Up the Web Server on page 75. Note whether the Force SSL field
is selected.
3. Perform the steps in Viewing the Ethernet Information Screen on page 74. Write down the
number that displays in the IP Address field.
Example: 10.11.12.88
4. Start a web browser on a computer or other device that is connected to the local network.
5. In the web browser’s address field, perform one of the following procedures:
 If the Force SSL field IS selected, type HTTPS://
 If the Force SSL field is NOT selected, type HTTP://
6. In the web browser’s address field, following either HTTPS:// or HTTP://, type the IP Address
that you recorded in step 3 of this procedure, and then press Enter.
Example: HTTPS://10.11.12.88
7. Perform one of the following procedures:
 If you did not require a PIN when you set up the web server, the Local LiveView page for
your BaseStation 1000 displays in the browser. Continue with step 8.
 If you required a PIN when you set up the web server, the browser will prompt you to
enter a username and password. Leave the Username field as is. Click in the Password
field, and then type the PIN. Click the OK button or press Enter. The Local LiveView page
for your BaseStation 1000 displays in the browser.
