Controlling FireBall from Safari

The FireBall 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, including Apple’s

Safari browser. Safari is the default browser included in Mac OS X 10.3.

Requirements

In order to control your FireBall from Safari, you will need to meet the following requirements:

• Your Mac and FireBall must be on the same Ethernet network

• Mac OS X 10.3 or later

• Safari version 1.2.3 or later

Connecting to Your FireBall

Before you can connect to your FireBall from Safari, you must obtain the “IP Address” of your

FireBall. Follow these steps to determine the IP Address:

1. Press the SETUP key on the remote to display the Setup menu.

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: 192.168.1.101

5. Press the SETUP key again to exit Setup

On your Mac, open Safari and enter the IP address of your FireBall into the Address Bar and

press the Return key on your keyboard. You should now see the familiar FireBall user interface

on your Mac.
