Chapter 5 – Browser Remote Control
Remote FS3 Control Via a Web Browser
The FS3 web interface consists of a built-in optimized web server that provides
control via a web browser running on a network-attached computer. The browser
screens are presented and described on the following pages, organized as they
appear in the browser.
Supported Browsers
• Chrome (all platforms)
• Firefox (all platforms)
• Safari (OSX, Mobile)
• Internet Explorer (versions 10 and higher)
Other browsers are likely to work but are not guaranteed.
Supported RJ-45 Ethernet Connections
• Closed local area network (LAN)
• Straight computer to FS3 cable connection
• Broadband wide area network (WAN) with the rewall opened for the FS3 (not
recommended since anyone on the internet can then access the FS3)
Internally the FS3 senses and adapts to either a “straight-through” CAT 5 Ethernet
cable or null-modem (crossover) cable using standard RJ-45 connectors. No setup
or strapping is needed to adapt to the cable.
Browser Connection
For browser access, enter the FS3 IP address in the browser’s address field.
By default, the FS3 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 the CONFIG Menu Group as follows:
1. Press the CONFIG button on the FS3 front panel.
2. Turn the SELECT knob until you reach parameter IP Address.
3. Enter the IP address shown in the browser address eld.
When the browser successfully connects to the FS3, the main Status screen shown
on the next page is displayed. If the browser fails to connect, make sure CONFIG
settings for IP, Subnet, and Gateway match the network setup of the browser
host. You can either make the computer match the FS3, or make the FS3 match
your computer.
