Remote User Interface
Your VIA!dj’s User Interface (UI) is accessible via a PC running on your home network.
This gives you complete control of your VIA!dj using a keyboard and mouse as opposed
to using the remote control. This can help make editing the Library easier and quicker
and also allows you to control the VIA!dj from any computer running on your home
network.
Accessing the Remote User Interface
• Connect the VIA!dj to your home network and power it on. If no DHCP address is
available, the VIA!dj will automatically assign itself an IP address and become acces-
sible on the network.
• Navigate to the Assigned Ethernet Settings screen in the front panel Set Up menu
on the VIA!dj and note the IP address. If you are using DHCP, this address will be in
the same range as the other computers on your network; if not, this address will
be in the range 169.254.0.1 - 169.254.255.254.
• Next, using a computer on the network, type the IP address or host name of your
VIA!dj into the address bar of a web browser (eg. http://192.168.0.1 or http://
<hostname>). If you are not using DHCP, you may need to reconfi gure your comput
er’s network settings before you can access the Remote User Interface.
