Control & connections
Embedded web server
The Vertex² is controlled from a web page hosted on the unit itself — no software to install.
What is it?
Connect the LAN port to your router and the Vertex² serves its own configuration website: type its IP address (shown on the OLED), hostname (VERTEX2-XX) or mDNS name in any browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS or Android. The 'Total Control' apps for iOS/Android wrap the same interface.
