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 from a PC, Mac, or PDA over

your home network.

To access the FireBall web server simply open the web browser on your PC or Mac

and enter the FireBall name in the address bar. To access the PDA web interface enter

the FireBall name followed by /pda in the address bar. For example, MyFireBall/pda.

USING THE WEB USER INTERFACE

Using the Web User Interface displayed in your Web Browser, you can control

almost every aspect of your FireBall. The Web User Interface is setup very similarly

toFireBall’sownTVuserinterfaceallowingaccesstoeachsource(Music,Movies,

Radio) as well as all major features such as Setup, Guide/Player, Options and Edit

Screens.

Use your keyboard and mouse to navigate the web interface instead of the IR remote

control. Access to all of the major functions is provided by the buttons along the left

and right side of the web interface. These buttons duplicate those found on the remote

control.
