MagicQ User Manual 261 Version 1.4.9.0
29.4 Remote control using Pocket PC or Phone with wireless device
MagicQ includes an in-built web server for enabling access to MagicQ from
web browsers on external computers, pocket PCs and mobile phones with web
browsers. The web server includes web pages for monitoring of the status of
the MagicQ, a remote control, and access to the MagicQ windows such as the
Patch window for downloading complete patch lists / cue sheets.
By default the web server is disabled on MagicQ – enable it in Setup,
Network Settings. The default port is 8080 although this can be changed in
the Network Settings.
To browse to the console enter the console name followed by the port number,
e.g. for chamsys176, enter the URL in your browser. Note that by default
most browsers use port 80 – so you must explicitly specify port 8080 in the URL or it will not work.
chamsys176:8080
or you can use the IP address of the MagicQ (e.g. 2.9.200.5)
2.9.200.5:8080
This URL will get you to the home page on the MagicQ console - a general system overview and a main
menu of items, including Remote, Execute, Windows and Network.
On some browsers / PDAs you may need to enter the full http line:
http://chamsys176:8080/index.html
or
http://2.9.200.5/index.html
