8 The IP Manager

The IP Manager enables remote server management, monitoring and configuration. The IP Manager is accessible via web, or via the LCD-panel on the front of the server. Two menus are available:
• the K2 Edge-menu: standard menu
• the IP Manager menu: also available when the system is unreachable (note that this menu
has less options)
If the system is unreachable, press the knob for 3 seconds to switch from the K2 Edge menu to the IP Manager menu.
8.1 Starting the IP Manager web interface
To access the IP Manager, enter the IP Manager's IP-address in a web browser.
8.2 The LCD front panel
Use the rotary knob to operate the IP Manager via the front panel:
• Turn the rotary knob backwards and forwards to scroll through options.
• Press the rotary knob to select an item or confirm a selection.
• Selected items are marked by [], <>, an arrow, or are highlighted.
• Press the knob 3 seconds to return to the main menu.
• Or, to discard changes and return to the main menu from a sub menu,
rotate the knob to the
• back/cancel/discard option, then press the knob.
Some changes in settings require a restart of the nexos processes to be activated. In that case, the Activate button is available in the IP Manager. Click Set to save changes, and then Activate to activate changes. If the Activate button is not present, no restart is required. Click Set to save and activate changes.
Changing settings and executing commands via the IP Manager can interrupt a broadcast.
