REMOTE CONTROL WEB SERVER
4.1.
Introduction
HQView-2xx features a web server which connects to a PC web browser via TCP/IP. The menu system
of HQView-2xx is mirrored into the web browser and all menu items can be accessed and controlled
through the keyboard or mouse of the PC.
Note: Backup/Restore is only available for V2 hardware.
4.2.
Installing the Software
No extra software needs to be installed on a PC. The PC web browser is used as the graphical user
interface for all control items. To connect to the HQView-2xx the TCP/IP address of the unit has to be
entered into the address list box of the web browser in the following format http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The
TCP/IP address assigned to HQView-100 can be found in the System/Network Settings menu.
4.3.
Discovery Tool
Calibre provides a DiscoveryTool.exe Windows application to identify Calibre boxes in the network.
Clicking on the link of the recognized box will open a browser and make a connection to the
corresponding box. The box identifier is made up of “PV6M” in the case of HQView-2xx followed by the
6 least significant digits of the MAC address. The MAC address of the box can be found in the
System/Network Settings menu.
4.4.
Software Operation
Once the address has been entered into the web browser starts to load pages from the HQView-2xx
mirroring the menu system of the unit. All menu items are shown as their respective buttons, sliders and
list boxes and can be accessed and altered with the PC mouse or corresponding navigational key
presses.
