HDX Hard Disk Player Overview
4.2.1 The Front Panel Display Interface
The HDX is most conveniently operated via its Front Panel
Display Interface using either the front panel touch screen
or the remote handset.
Note:
The Front Panel Display Interface can also be
configured to control any StreamNet compliant device
connected to the network.
4.2.2 The External Display Interface
The HDX can be operated via its
External Display Interface
using the supplied
remote handset
(or a keyboard and/or
mouse), in combination with an additional external display
screen.The screen may be a monitor or TV with composite
video, S-video or VGA input.
The External Display Interface is closely related to the Front
Panel Display Interface and similarly provides access to
HDX operational and setup features.
4.2.3 The NaimNet/StreamNet Touch Screen Interface
If the HDX is installed in a NaimNet home network, HDX
network audio streams can be controlled from the
NaimNet/StreamNet Interface. The NaimNet/StreamNet
Interface can be accessed from a StreamNet compliant
touch screen or a web browser. The interface can also
control any StreamNet compliant device.

Display and Front Panel Display interfaces can be
duplicated by any Flash enabled web browser

browser, open the web browser and type the unique
“name” of your HDX into the browser address field. The
name is the last four characters of the MAC address
(excluding the colon separators) printed on the rear
panel preceded by NSHDX). A typical “name” would be
NSHDX4567.
To access the Front Panel Display interface from a web
browser add the suffix:
/index.html?movie=fp.swf to the HDX name.
E.g. NSHDX4567/index.html?movie=fp.swf
Note:
Depending on your web browser you may need to
type “http://” immediately before the HDX name.
4.2.5 The Desktop Client
If the HDX is installed in a home network that includes a
personal computer running Windows XP or Vista, it can be
operated via the
Desktop Client Interface
. The
Desktop
Client
application provides the most comprehensive
operational and search functionality. The
Desktop Client
is
covered in Section 8 of this manual
.
Some setup, file management and maintenance facilities
are only available via the Desktop Client.
