HDX Hard Disk Player Overview
1.1.4 The Web Browser Interface
If the HDX is installed in a home network the External
Display and Front Panel Display interfaces can be
duplicated by any Flash enabled web browser
To access the External Display Interface from a web
browser, open the web browser and type the unique
“name” of your HDX into the browser address field. The
name is the last four characters of the MAC address
(excluding the colon separators) printed on the rear
panel preceded by NSHDX). A typical “name” would be
NSHDX89B5.
To access the Front Panel Display interface from a web
browser add the suffix:
/index.html?movie=fp.swf to the HDX name.
E.g. NSHDX89B5/index.html?movie=fp.swf
Note:
Depending on your web browser you may need to
type “http://” immediately before the HDX name.
