Once the desired filter parameters are set, simply close the Filter Logs window to see

the list of logs that match your chosen parameters. The number of logs that matched your

filter parameters is shown next to the filter icon in the bottom of the log list window. This

subset of logs can be viewed on the unit, exported to external media, or deleted. To

export or delete the filtered log list, simply tap the appropriate button on the bottom right

of the log list screen and follow the prompts. As with the full log list, when deleting a

filtered list of logs, only logs for previously completed (inactive) jobs will be deleted.

To remove all filtering and see the entire log list again, either navigate away from the

filtered log list and then reselect the main log list, or tap the filter icon again and then tap

Clear All at the bottom right of the Filter Logs screen and close that screen.

4.11 Remote web interface

TX1 offers the ability to use any network connected TX1 unit remotely via a web browser.

If your TX1 has a user setup with remote access privileges and a valid IP address,

remote access is as simple as opening a browser window and entering the IP address or

hostname of TX1 into the address field. A login screen will always appear first on the

remote browser, and, after credentials are entered and validated, the TX1 user interface

will appear and be fully usable as if you were working locally on the unit itself. Note that

local and remote users can work independently on the same TX1 unit. However, TX1’s

resources are shared between all logged in users, so jobs and other changes made from

one connection type (local or remote) will be seen by all users and will affect what other

users can do.

The remote web interface can be used to perform nearly all functions available on the

local user interface, with the following differences:

• For security reasons, the remote login screen requires typing in both the username

and password. On the local unit, a pulldown list of available usernames is provided.

Usernames and passwords are case sensitive.

• When using the Browse function remotely, any individual file from any mounted drive

with a supported filesystem can be downloaded to the remote device. After selecting

the desired file in the remote Browse window, simply tap the Download button at the

bottom right, and the file will be downloaded to your remote system. This is a

convenient way to view any file from a TX1-mounted drive using the remote

computer’s applications, which can help with evidence triage decisions.

• When accessing logs from the remote web interface, you can download targeted log

files. Select a log from the Log Details view, click the options icon and select

Download. The Download button is not displayed when accessing TX1 locally.

• The time shown in the top-right corner of the remote view represents the time zone of

the remote computer/browser, not the time zone of TX1. However, the logs for any

remotely initiated jobs will reflect the time zone as set on TX1.

• The Factory Reset feature is not available to remote users.

• Network Configuration settings are viewable remotely but can only be changed

directly on TX1.
