Accessing the Web Server
It is mandatory for accessing Vertex² web server to have an Ethernet cable connected between LAN CONTROL RJ45 connector and your local router or switcher. By default Vertex² use DHCP to retrieve an assigned IP automatically. You can set static IP from the Vertex² webserver config page.
In case you have setup a wrong Static IP and unit is not reachable anymore, you can set DHCP ON from OLED menu to retrieve access via dynamically assigned IP again (as in default mode).
There is 3 ways of accessing the Vertex² web server
- Universal way through IP address:
Simply open up a web browser on any devices located on the same network than the Vertex² unit and type in the IP address that appears on the Vertex² OLED directly in the address bar of your web browser. (ex: 192.168.1.137)
- Hostname access:
Instead of typing IP address directly, you can use the Hostname listed on Vertex² OLED LAN INFO page (press INFO button to cycle OLED page till you see LAN INFO and Hostname listed). Simply open up a web browser from any devices located on the same network than the Vertex² unit and type in the Hostname that appears on the Vertex² OLED directly in the address bar of your web browser. (ex: http://VERTEX2-XX/) XX represents the 2 last digits of your Vertex² unit unique serial number.
- mDNS access:
For iOS/MAC devices, you might want to use mDNS access. Retrieve the mDNS address from Vertex² OLED LAN INFO page (press INFO button to cycle OLED page till you see LAN INFO and mDNS address listed). Simply open up a web browser on any MAC/iOS devices located on the same network than the Vertex² unit and type in the mDNS address that appears on the Vertex² OLED directly in the address bar of your web browser. (ex: http://VERTEX²-XX.local/) XX represents the 2 lasts digits of your Vertex² X unit unique serial number.
Please note that only IP address access is universal and should work across any web browser based devices as long as they are located on the same network. Others methods should work just fine in many cases but we cannot guarantee that they will always do, in case of issue accessing the webserver, please use IP address.
