THE WEB INTERFACE

USING THE WEB INTERFACE

The FireBall Web Interface is used to remotely control the FireBall over a local

network using a standard web browser on your PC. The Web Interface provides

an almost identical interface as that of the FireBall TV User Interface. This

commonality among interfaces makes it easy for Escient customers to manage

and control any FireBall product using the same methods, regardless of the

actual interface. More details are provided in the following sections of this

manual.

CONNECTING TO YOUR FIREBALL

Each FireBall Media Manager contains a built-in web server capable of serving

web pages speciﬁcally designed to control almost every aspect of the FireBall

from a standard web browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.

CONNECTING TO YOUR FIREBALL

Connect to your FireBall Server from Internet Explorer, if you know the “IP

Address” of your FireBall.

Follow these steps to determine the IP Address:

1. Select the SETUP button to display the Setup menu on your TV.

2. Select the Utilities menu item.

3. Select the System Information menu item.

4. Write down the IP Address of your FireBall’s Ethernet connection.

This number is located in the bottom right of the System Information

screen and consists of four numbers separated by periods. Example:

192.168.1.1

5. Select the SETUP key again to exit Setup

Using the Internet Explorer web browser (or any web browser connected to the

same network as your FireBall) enter the IP address of your FireBall and then

the RETURN command. Your FireBall Server’s Music Guide will appear in the

web browser in a few seconds.

MUSIC GUIDE SCREENMUSIC PLAYER SCREENMUSIC OPTIONS SCREEN

FIREBALL WEB INTERFACE

The FireBall Web Interface is the graphics and control system web pages

that appear in your Internet Explorer browser. From this web page, you can

control almost every aspect of your FireBall, just as you would from the

original IR remote and TV. The familiar FireBall Guide, Player, Options

and Setup mode are all supported from the Web Interface.

You will notice that unlike the TV user interface, there are buttons along the

left and right edges of the web browser. These buttons duplicate the features

found on your remote control.

The Radio Guide displays a scrolling list of Internet Radio Stations. Using the

Page buttons on the right edge of the screen, you can scroll up and down the

list. As each Station is highlighted, you will notice that the Information Area

and Cover Art changes to reﬂect the currently highlighted Station.

PLAYING THE CURRENT STATION

highlighted station will be located, buffered, and then played.

You’ll notice that a new screen appears displaying information about the

selected station. This is the Radio Player screen. The Radio Player displays

the station name, location, genre, genre cover art, and status about the current

Internet Radio station stream. FireBall will attempt to locate the station to

make sure it is currently broadcasting over the Internet, connect to it, buffer

some audio, then begin playing the audio stream. The status of all of this

activity is indicated at the bottom left of the screen.

• Playing Internet Radio requires a valid Internet connection.

• Although some stations will work over a Dialup Internet Connection, a

broadband Internet connection is recommended.

• Due to the dynamic nature of the Internet, you may experience periodic

audio drop-outs which could be due to many factors such as Internet

access problems, busy networks, etc...

• Internet Radio Stations are not hosted by Escient and may not be available

at all times. You can update your Internet Radio Stations list by running

Tune Stations. Please refer to the “Managing Your Media” section for

more information.
