Chapter 6: Web Browser Remote Control

Overview

An optimized web server running on CION allows you to remotely monitor and adjust
parameter settings via a a browser client running on a network wired computer. The
network can be a closed local area network, a straight computer-to-CION cable
connection, or even exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN.

NOTE:

Exposing CION on a broadband WAN is not generally recommended since anyone on the
internet could potentially access CION.
