Chapter 5 – HELO Web Interface
Overview
Once installed and configured for operation, HELO can be controlled by
simply pressing the front panel Record and Stream buttons. To change HELO’s
configuration settings and for remote control of HELO, use HELO’s web interface.
Remote Control Overview
An optimized web server in HELO allows remote control and parameter setting
adjustments via a web browser client running on a network wired computer. The
network can be a closed local area network, a straight computer-to-HELO cable,
or even exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN.
The LAN connection HELO uses is a standard RJ45 connector, but internally it’s
intelligent and communicates via standard “straight-through” CAT 5 Ethernet
cables or null-modem (cross-over) cables without any configuration or strapping
required.
NOTE: Safari is the preferred web browser for control on the Mac, and additionally
Chrome and Firefox on Windows. Other web browsers may work, but AJA cannot
guarantee consistent operation for all web browsers or web browser versions.
To connect to HELO, simply attach HELO to your network and enter HELO’s IP
address into the web browser. If authentication has been configured, you may
need to enter a password.
