CHAPTER 4: The iAM-AUDIO Web GUI
The self-contained iAM-AUDIO Web GUI allows you to customize the configuration
of the iAM-AUDIO to suit your needs. If the default configuration of the iAM-AUDIO
suits your needs and you prefer to use it that way, then you do not need to use the
iAM-AUDIO Web GUI.
Web Browser / Control Device
Any web browser application running on any networked device such as desktop or
laptop computer, tablet or smart phone can be used with the iAM-AUDIO Web GUI.
Tablets with no network connector need to be linked to a copper LAN through a Wi-
Fi adapter.
Although they can be used, smart phones are not recommended because their
smaller screen size would require more scrolling, making operation challenging.
The Chrome
®
web browser is recommended for speed and compatibility.
First Time IP Assignments
The iAM-AUDIO can operate with a static (fixed) or dynamic (DHCP) IPv4 address.
The default address will be
192.168.1.100
when received from the factory or
when switched from DHCP to static addressing mode. There two basic types of
connections that may be used to connect the iAM-AUDIO to a web browser, a
Peer-
to-Peer
Connection
or a
Network Connection
.
Peer-to-Peer Connection
The most straightforward way to connect the iAM-AUDIO to a web browser, free of
possible network conflicts, is to establish a static peer-to-peer connection between
the setup computer and the iAM-AUDIO. A 10/100/1000 MHz Ethernet switch may
be used in between, but is not required.
Figure 4-1 shows an example of suitable address settings for the host computer in
a Windows 7 control panel.
