MOTU AVB Control Web App

CHAPTER
OVERVIEW
MOTU AVB Control is a web app that gives you
complete control over the UltraLite AVB. If you
have several MOTU AVB interfaces networked
together, such as the UltraLite AVB, 1248 and 8M,
you can control them all. If you are working with a
large network of many MOTU AVB interfaces, you
can access any device on the network.
IT'S NOT ON YOUR HARD DRIVE
The MOTU AVB Control web app is served from
the UltraLite AVB hardware itself, therefore it is not
an application on your computer's hard drive.
Instead, access it by using the MOTU AVB
Discovery app for Mac, the MOTU AVB WebUI
Setup for Windows or through your web browser
by typing your MOTU device's IP Address into the
address bar.
USE YOUR FAVORITE WEB BROWSER
The MOTU AVB Control web app runs in any
modern web browser on any device connected to
the UltraLite AVB, either directly or wirelessly
through a Wi-Fi network. You can use any device
you wish: a desktop computer, laptop, iPad, tablet,
iPhone or smart phone. If it can run a web browser,
it can run the web app. You can use any browser
you prefer: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE 11 etc. The
latest versions are strongly recommended.
CONTROL FROM MULTIPLE DEVICES
You can run the web app on multiple host devices
simultaneously.
RUN THE INSTALLER, GET THE APP
Visit www.motu.com/avb to get the latest MOTU
AVB installer and run it on your computer to install
the MOTU AVB Discovery app (Mac) or MOTU
AVB WebUI Setup (Windows) and other software
elements. Visit the Apple App Store to download
the discovery app onto your iPad or iPhone.
MAKE HARDWARE AND NETWORK
CONNECTIONS
Connect your UltraLite AVB to your computer or
laptop with a USB cable. Make sure your iPad,
iPhone, tablet or smartphone is connected to the
same Wi-Fi network as your computer or device.
You can use any network connection explained in
"Setup for web app control" on page 36.
LAUNCHING THE WEB APP
To launch the web app, do any of the following:
If you have a Mac, choose the UltraLite AVB
■
from the MOTU AVB Discovery app menu (see
below). On Windows, launch the MOTU AVB
WebUI Setup shortcut found on the Windows
desktop or in Start menu> All Programs> MOTU.
From your iPad or iPhone, launch the MOTU
■
AVB Discovery app.
In your favorite web browser, type this URL:
■
localhost:1280. (This URL requires a USB
connection to the UltraLite AVB.)
If the UltraLite AVB Ethernet port is connected
■
to your Ethernet or Wi-Fi network, type the unit's
IP address (see below) into your browser.
You should now see the MOTU AVB Control web
app in your browser, as shown on page 12. If not
visit Appendix A, "Troubleshooting" page (73).
Obtaining the UltraLite AVB's IP address
On the front panel of the interface, push the ID
knob once. The LCD now displays the unit's IP
address, which should look something like this:
"IP Address: 192.168.1.209".
