FS3 Control
FS3 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 FS3 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 FS3 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 direct computer-to-FS3 cross-over 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 FS3 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 FS3 back panel to
provide contact closure control. Using the inputs, an external contact closure
activates a specified function on the FS3. Using the outputs, specific FS3 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.
