Chapter 8: Web Interface
8. Web Interface
The MediaCento is accessible through a web interface with limited functionality. The
IP addressing scheme by default is AutoIP. AutoIP is a mechanism to assign an IP
address to a device at start up without relying on a DHCP server. The MediaCento
devices use the 169.254.xxx.xxx private IP domain by default.
To connect to the MediaCento’s Web interface, the Windows PC must be set to use
the same subnet as the MediaCento, meaning that the PC you are using to
connect to the MediaCento unit must have an address configured in the
169.254.xxx.xxx with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, where the xxx.xxx will be arbi-
trary numbers that the user will enter. Once this is established, start your
preferred Web browser and enter the IP address of your device in the browser’s
address bar. This IP address is displayed on the remote screen on the bottom right
corner when the receiver is first turned on.
8.1 Accessing the Web Interface
The Web interface can be used to view information about the device, upload a
firmware file to the device, and for video wall transformers configuration. The Web
interface will not give network information or screen previews.
8.2 Accessing the Transmitter without an IP Address
You can access the transmitter directly with a serial connection, and find the IP
address using the “node-list” command. See Chapter 5. To connect without an IP
address or serial connection, access the Web interface.
Bonjour
®
is needed to access the Web interface. Apple
®
products usually have this
installed. If needed, you can download the free version from
http://www.apple.com/kb/DL999 and click the “Print Server” link.
1. Run Bonjour.
2. Configure the control PC’s network setting as 169.254.xxx.xxx IP domain with
netmask 255.255.0.0. Default gateway and DNS can be left blank. For Windows
®
7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/change-tcp-ip-settings.
3. Open a Web browser and insert the address: http://ast-gatewayXXXX.local. The
four digits after ast-gateway depend on the position of the Rotary Switch you’ve
set. Please refer to Table 6-1. For example, if the position is set up as 7, then the
address should be http://ast-gateway1110.local
