Connecting to LA-5300
As outlined in Chapter 3, certain settings and configurations can be accessed and performed using the front panel
buttons and screen, but the LA-5300 is designed to be connected to a network and operated through its web-based
interface.
Important:
As explained in detail in Chapter 3, LA-5300 must be connected to 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) switch ports,
and the Control and AES67 ports should not be connected to a common network with the same netmask/
subnet.
No special client software is required, and the HTML-5-based GUI is device, operating system, and browser
agnostic. We recommend using Google Chrome, Firefox, or Apple Safari. The computer or tablet should be on the
same network and subnet as the LA-5300.
Once the LA-5300 and your computer are connected to your network, enter the IP address of the LA-5300 to
which you want to connect in the URL field of your browser. Once connected, the Home Screen will appear. As
you navigate through the user interface, clicking on the LA-5300 logo (4-1A) in the top left corner will always
return you to this screen.
Multiple users can connect to the same LA-5300 hardware simultaneously. Anyone connected to the unit will be
able to see the information on this screen including the unit's name (4-1B) and physical location (4-1C).
Additionally, all users can access the Meters screen (4-1D) which shows input and output level meters along
with pertinent information about the input or output bitstream (depending on the workflow selected). See the
section "LA5300 Home Screen When Logged In" below for detailed information.
The Locate Unit feature (4-1E), which causes the front panel display of the unit to flash for easy identification
in a crowded rack, can also be activated without logging in.
