CHAPTER 3
Stand-Alone, Peripheral, Network Device
The FS-M digital recorder/player is capable of operation as a stand-alone device, a
peripheral recorder/player for a host, or a network device.
3.1 Modes of Operation
3.1.1 Stand-alone
As a stand alone device, the FS-M can receive video content directly through its
video inputs or through the exchanging of hard drives with Linux ext3 file systems,
see
Hard Drive Filesystems on page 16
. In addition, hard drive exchanges permit
software upgrades and the sharing of the FS-M video content with other systems.
When the FS-M is a stand-alone device, the user interface is the front control panel,
see
Control Panel Interface on page 7
.
3.1.2 Peripheral
In addition to its capabilities as a stand-alone device, when the FS-M acts as a
peripheral, it provides record-and-play functions to a host device such as a computer
or controller. In return, the host offers direct access and control of the video content
and FS-M software stored on the FS-M hard drive. Host access and control of the
FS-M is through two graphical user interfaces (GUI).
• Software KeyPad
Using familiar record-and-play controls, this application permits direct access
of video stored on the FS-M with either a mouse or keyboard keypad, see
Software Keypad Interface on page 23
.
• Internet Browser
This application gives the user easy access to record-and-play and system
management functions, see
FS-M Web and FTP Interfaces on page 29
.
