STAC IP
STAC has the ability to provide a complete call screening server and remote
control function without the need for any external hardware or software.
The STAC mainframe acts as an Internet web server, delivering a web page
to multiple clients using web browsers. In addition, the STAC mainframe
itself can be used to access this interface. The web page allows for user
entry of call screening information and can control most of the functions
available from the control surfaces.
STAC IP can be accessed two ways:
1) Console STAC IP – Accessed by connecting a monitor, keyboard and
mouse to the proper ports on the STAC mainframe. When STAC is booted,
the STAC IP interface will appear on the display and the control functions
are enabled.
2) Remote STAC IP – Accessed by pointing a browser to the STAC’s IP ad-
dress over a network. To set up and configure the STAC IP address, see

Console STAC IP
and
Remote STAC IP
work identically and can be accessed
simultaneously. Note that STAC does not provide the ability to “hot-plug”
a keyboard and mouse. STAC must be rebooted after these are attached.
Only PS/2 keyboard and mouse may be used.
Note: STAC only provides an analog video connection to the monitor. The
monitor must allow 1024x768 video resolution. If you are having trouble
seeing STAC’s video output, be sure that your monitor is set to display the
analog (15-pin sub D) input connection. Many new monitors default to
their digital video ports.
Remote STAC IP requires the Macromedia Flash® Plug-in 6 or greater for
your browser (usually included by default). It has been tested to function
correctly on Microsoft Internet Explorer® 6 and Mozilla Firefox® 1.0.
The STAC mainframe must be connected to your network and assigned an
IP address to operate STAC IP. Connection is made via a UTP type Ethernet
cable connected to the
Network
port on the rear panel. Configuration
requires that a monitor and keyboard (not provided) be attached to their
respective ports on the mainframe. The keyboard must be connected be-
fore the STAC mainframe is powered up.
