Web Browser Control
To control the FS3 from a web browser on a network attached computer, enter
the FS3 IP address as a URL in the browser. For example, if the FS3 IP address were
“90.0.6.31”, you would then type into the web browser: http://90.0.6.31. This topic
is explained in greater detail in Chapter 5: Browser Remote Control.
NOTE: The web UI (browser GUI) will keep up with most changes initiated at the front
panel. However, the web UI may not reconnect (displays “Disconnected”) when
network changes are initiated at the FS3 front panel. To manually reconnect,
type the new IP address into the browser, or click the browser Refresh button.
Sometimes the browser caches the old FS3 address. If you can’t get the browser
to connect, try clearing the Browser history to clear the cache, and then enter the
new address again.
