Chapter Eight:
Advanced Element Controls
In Chapters 1 and 2, we covered the basics of set-
ting up your Element when used with the StudioEngine
or PowerStation. Those chapters were intended to get
you up and running quickly. Now that you've read this
far, you should consider yourself an advanced user! In
keeping with your dawning guru status, it's time for a
thorough look at all of the controls found in the Element
configuration Web pages.
The HTTP interface to the Element is very similar
whether you are using the Element with StudioEngine or
PowerStation. The home page for the PowerStation has
more options since this is an integrated product includ-
ing the Element and other modules.
Note: The Element can be used with either the
StudioEngine or the PowerStation.
Settings for StudioEngine are found in Chapter
9 and PowerStation settings in Chapter 10.

Element Configuration Screens

The Element Control Center

Figures 8-1 and 8-2 show the first screen you will see
when you log into your Element or PowerStation from
your Web browser. The main menu runs down the left
side and gives access to all of Element's options and set-
tings. In the main window you can see at a glance what
version of Element software is loaded, system informa-
tion such as console uptime, network link integrity and
CPU stats, and more. This information screen is acces-
sible without a password; clicking on any menu heading
will prompt you for a password. As you can see, the Pow-
erStation menu has many more options that are related to
its integrated MixEngine, IO subsections and Ethernet
switch. We will deal with those later - this chapter is
focussed on the Element console and its configuration.
