Overview of the Web-based User Interface

The web-based user interface, accessed from a control device, can configure, remotely control, monitor, update firmware, and operate the SMD 101.

NOTE: Google Chrome was used to take the SMD 101 user interface screen shots in this user guide and is the recommended browser. Pages and panels viewed in other browsers may not appear exactly the same.

Accessing the Web-based User Interface

To access the web-based user interface, connect a control PC or viewing device to the SMD 101 and open a compatible web browser. Enter the IP address of the SMD 101 (default IP address is 192.168.254.254) into the browser address bar.

There are five pages with related controls grouped together on each page:

Player — used to select the source (stream) and control decoding.

Configuration — provides basic user level adjustments.

Advanced Configuration — for initial setup and administrator use.

Device Information — provides default setting and user defined information.

Status — Realtime display of operating conditions and statistics.

Access pages by selecting the tab across the top of the dialog box.

To conserve the host PC resources, after 60 minutes, the browser accessing the SMD 101 web interface stops requesting status and video confidence updates.

This feature does not idle or affect SMD 101 operation. It suspends the automatic browser updates for the video confidence display to conserve network and PC resources. Press Resume to force the browser to reconnect to the SMD 101 and begin normal updates.
