Displaying The Web Menu; Configuring The Network - Sony PWS-4500 Operation Manual

Displaying the Web Menu

You set up and control the unit by connecting to a
computer via the network and displaying the web menu in
a web browser on the computer.
Validated operating environments
Web browser:
• Windows: Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 11, Google
Chrome 67, Firefox 60, Opera 53
• Mac: Safari 6
Display: Screen width of 1024 pixels or greater
Connect a computer that satisfies the above requirements
to NETWORK connector 1 or 2 on the rear panel of the
unit. Enter "http://(device_IP_address)/" in the address bar
of a web browser on the computer to display the web
menu. When prompted to provide a user name, enter
"usr1" and click the [Log on] button. The following IP
addresses are configured at the factory for the NETWORK
connectors of the unit.
• NETWORK 1 connector: 192.168.0.1
• NETWORK 2 connector: 192.168.0.2
If the IP addresses are changed, specify the new addresses.
The IP address to connect to can be specified on the
[System] screen > [Network] tab of the web menu.
Notes
• For details about network settings, contact your network
administrator.
• You may be unable to connect to the network, depending
on your proxy server settings.
• It may not be possible to set the appropriate setting due
to conflicts if the computer is using a multi-session
connection. If this occurs, reconfigure the settings.
• The web menu cannot be displayed on a computer
connected to the NETWORK 3 connector. To display
the web menu, always connect the computer to
NETWORK connector 1 or 2.
Do not browse any other website in the Web browser while
making settings or after making settings. Since the login
status remains in the Web browser, close the Web browser
when you complete the settings to prevent unauthorized
third parties from using the unit or harmful programs from
running.

Configuring the Network

Access the [System] screen > [Network] tab of the web
menu to configure settings related to the IP address and
network. For details about settings, see "Network tab"
(page 25).
Configure each setting on the [Network] tab, and then click
the [Submit] button. A confirmation message appears.
Click [OK] to restart the unit. The settings are enabled
after the unit restarts.
To display the web menu subsequently, enter the IP
address you specified.
Accessing over a network
When accessing files using a network cable, you can also
transfer files while recording or playback is in progress.
However, since SDI input/output has priority, the transfer
rate over the network may decrease depending on input/
output port usage.
