CONTROLLING FIREBALL FROM A WEB BROWSER

FireBall contains a built-in web server which means you can connect to your FireBall and remotely control it using a
standard web browser over your home network.

SETTING UP THE FIREBALL WEB SERVER

Your FireBall acts as a web server on your network allowing you to connect and control the FireBall using your PC
or Mac computer. This web server is automatically configured and started each time the FireBall is plugged in. You
connect to the server from your PC or Mac using Internet Explorer or Safari (Mac OS X) using TCP/IP addressing
over your home network. You can use a wireless or wired Ethernet network, as long as you have a DHCP router or
if you have assigned static IP addresses. Please contact your Escient dealer if you need assistance with setup a home
network.
The FireBall Server Name entered on the Server Settings Menu in the SETUP/NETWORK menus is used for the web
address to access the FireBall web interface.

CONNECTING TO YOUR FIREBALL USING A WEB BROWSER

Note: Any standard web browser which supports HTML 4.0 standards should work, however Escient
officially supports Inernet Explorer on Windows XP and Safari on Mac OS X.
Follow these steps to connect to your FireBall using your Windows XP or Mac OS X computer:
1. Launch Internet Explorer or Safari on your computer.
2. Enter the FireBall Server Name or IP Address into the browser just as if you were entering a
web address to connect to a web site.
3. Your browser should connect to your FireBall and display the FireBall HTML interface.
