7) Edit the following three lines by removing the 

in front of each line:

           #hostname=stac
           #defaultdomain=comrex.com
           #nameserver=192.168.0.1

It should not be necessary to make any other changes to these lines.

8) Exit the editor by pressing 

Esc 

(the 

Escape

 key). When prompted, 

choose 

save with changes

 and press 

Enter

.

9) Attach the network cable to the STAC network port and reboot.

10) Key your STAC IP address into a browser connected to your network. 
STAC IP should appear on your display.

When remote STAC IP is accessed, a password screen is presented. The user 
may enter any 

user name

, but the case-sensitive password must be the 

same as that programed into the STAC mainframe. (See page 33 for pass-
word programming information.) The default system password is

 comrex 

(lower case). The STAC IP chat window will notify all users of anyone log-
ging in or out (by referencing their user name) and all “Studio Chat” text 
messages will be identified by the same name.

The remote STAC IP screen is designed to expand automatically to your 
monitor’s resolution. We recommend a resolution of at least 1024x768 to 
view remote STAC IP. Also, the web page is best viewed in full screen mode 
to make the information easiest to read.

 F11 

toggles full screen mode on/off 

on most browsers.

The STAC IP interface is designed to provide almost all the functionality of a 
control surface with the following exceptions:

1) In order to screen calls using STAC IP, you will need to have a control 
surface attached to the system. Although you can answer calls using the 
STAC IP interface, calls will be routed to the handset (or headset) of the 
control surface you designate. (See

on page 32.)

2) STAC IP cannot dial outgoing calls, either in 

Answer 

mode or 

On Air

. You 

must use a control surface keypad to dial outgoing calls.

The STAC IP screen is shown on page 28.

Note: The figure shown is for a STAC12 system. If you have STAC6, only six 
line fields will be shown.
