WaveCAST EIGHT
Server Description
The Server Description field allows the user to easily identify the transmitter. This typically comes into play when multiple
transmitters need to be distinguished from one another. The description appears on the front main info screen, and also on
the web page. In a rack, all the user has to do is activate the main info screen with a touch of any button on the front, and the
description is displayed as one of the fields on the main info screen.
The description can only be edited from the web interface.
Channel Description
The Channel Description allows the listeners to easily identify the channel. The description appears on the channel information
screen, on the web page, and in the WaveCAST App. The channel description can only be edited from the web interface.
Restore Defaults
The Restore Defaults action will restore the transmitter to it’s original factory settings. Restoring defaults from the front panel of the
WaveCAST EIGHT will reset all settings.
On the front panel menu, it is hidden on the main screen (see "Restoring Defaults" on page 15).
Restoring defaults from the web page will reset all settings except Network connectivity settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask, IP
Address Mode, and Web Password). This maintains connectivity between the Web Page and the WaveCAST EIGHT, after the
WaveCAST EIGHT reboots.
In the web interface, this feature is under the Admin menu.
Web Control Interface
The WaveCAST EIGHT provides a web interface to manage the device settings. These web pages can be accessed over either a
hardwired or wireless network connection with most modern internet browsers.
Changes take effect when applied or saved. Any updates made through the front panel will show up on the web interface once
the current page has been navigated away from, either by refreshing the page or going to a new page.
1. Open the web browser of your choice.
2. In the address bar of the browser, type in the IP address of the WaveCAST EIGHT and hit Enter.
