Connecting the Controller to BaseManager
The BaseStation 1000 is equipped for Internet-based LiveView™ which makes your controller
accessible anytime from anywhere, with any Internet-accessible device, just as if you were standing
in front of it. The first step for connecting to Internet-based LiveView is to connect your controller
to the Internet through your network. Refer to Setting Up the Default Network Connection on page
73.
Note: The BaseStation 1000 remote communication options are only compatible with
BaseManager 2.0 or BaseManager Web 2.0. These remote communication options are not
available with previous versions of BaseManager or BaseManager Web.
Because Internet-based LiveView is available through Baseline’s BaseManager server, the next step
is to enable the BaseManager connection. Refer to Enabling the BaseManager Connection on page
75.
