Controlling FireBall from Safari
The FireBall E2 contains a built-in web server capable of serving web pages specifically
designed to control almost every aspect of the FireBall from a standard web browser, including
Apple’s Safari browser. Safari is the default browser included in Mac OS X 10.3. Microsoft’s
Internet Explorer 5.2.3 is also included with Mac OS X, but is not officially supported.
Requirements
In order to control your FireBall from Safari, you will need to meet the following requirements:
x Your Mac and FireBall must be on the same Ethernet network
x
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
x
Safari version 1.2.3 or later
Connecting to Your FireBall
Before you can connect to your FireBall from Safari, you must obtain the “IP Address” of your
FireBall. Follow these steps to determine the IP Address:
1. Press the SETUP key on the remote to display the Setup menu.
2. Select the Utilities menu item.
3. Select the System Information menu item.
4. Write down the IP Address of your FireBall’s Ethernet connection. This number is
located in the bottom right of the System Information screen and consists of four
numbers separated by periods. Example: 192.168.1.1
5. Press the SETUP key again to exit Setup
On your Mac, open Safari and enter the IP address of your FireBall into the Address Bar and
press the Return key on your keyboard. You should now see the familiar FireBall user interface
on your Mac.
