SETTING USER PREFERENCES

User preferences are available to specify global configuration options and preferred system settings by accessing the Setup Menu. To access any of these global user preferences, Select the SETUP button to display the Setup Menu and then select any menu item.

NOTE: these User Preferences control the preferences of the FireBall you are connected to. To adjust the User Preferences of the web pad itself, use the Windows XPe Control Panel.

SELECTING THE CLIENT MODE

The FireBall Web Interface for the Web Pad can operate in two different modes:

Remote Control Mode

Streaming Music Client Mode

Remote Control Mode is the default mode and controls your FireBall playback system remotely. This means that when you play, pause, stop, or use any other transport control, the FireBall itself is affected. The FireBall is the playback device and the web pad is the controller.

When you set the Client Mode to Streaming Music Client Mode, the Web Pad becomes the playback device. This means that anytime you play, pause, stop, or use any other transport control, the Web Pad’s playback system is affected. This mode is useful because the Web Pad becomes another “zone”. This means that someone in the main room where your FireBall is located can play one song while you are in another room playing another song from the Web Pad.

Regardless of the Client mode, browsing the music library is independent of what is displayed or browsed on FireBall’s main video output.

Note that when you are set to Streaming Client Mode, you will only have access to MP3 files through the Music source. FLAC audio files, Internet Radio and Movies are not streamable to the Web Pad. Also, the Setup menus will be disabled and hidden until you switch back to Remote Control Mode.
