The Menu List

A list of all the Webpage menus can be found at the left edge of

any page. Click on any menu heading to go immediately to that

Webpage.

Menu

Variances

We have made every effort to coordinate the Webpages menus

with the front panel LCD-touchscreen menus, but this can’t

work in all cases, meaning that you may have to hop around a

bit to find corresponding features. For example, the

Tuner

and

StationRotation

headings on the

Now Playing

Webpage are both on

the LCD-touchscreen

Tuner

menu, and the “red LED” alarm indi-

cators on the

Now Playing

Webpage are found under

Alarms

the LCD-touchscreen. The LCD-touchscreen

Now Play-

ing

menu is accessed by touching the little ‘home’

icon, and that screen carries information actually

spread out over multiple, yet appropriate, Webpages.
We do apologize for these ‘discrepancies beyond our control,’

but feel confident that your good common sense will guide you

on your circuitous journey through the 551 learning curve.

‘Responsive’

Webpages

The ‘responsive’ 551 internal webserver provides an optimal

viewing experience across a wide range of devices: desktop

computers, tablets and mobile phones. Specific to the device,

as the image size varies, the Webpage is reconfigured to give

the best view.

THE WEBPAGE HEADER

Each of the 551 Webpages carries the header shown here:

Monitor ID

At the left, the hostname of the 551 identifies the specific unit

connected. Specify a comprehendible hostname to differentiate

between multiple units on the LAN.

Station ID

The tuned frequency and the HD Radio metadata Short Name is

displayed below the hostname.

Presets

On the right, the first button lets you change stations from

among the presets that have been entered into

memory. In the example header none had been

preset, so

Not a Preset

was displayed. Once sta-

tions are entered, clicking on the button will drop

down the menu shown at the right, and then click-

ing one of the presets will re-tune to that station.

Entering presets is covered here shortly.

Remote

Listening

Click the loudspeaker icon at the top-right of

this or any other Webpage to listen to the off-air

audio program through your Web browser.
