7. Configuration Manager¶
This section covers setup and administration of the system from the front panel and the NexLog Configuration Manager tool. When utilizing the Recorder’s Front Panel’s Setup Screen, you are actually connecting to the same configuration interface that is accessible via a web browser. The Setup Screen layout differs from the Web Configuration tool only in that it’s visually optimized for the usage on the Front Panel’s touch screen, but the configuration functionality is identical. This section will cover both configuring from the Front Panel and via the web-based NexLog Configuration Manager tool.

Note
Eventide NexLog Configuration Manager has been tested with the following web browsers:
Google Chrome
Microsoft Edge (Chromium)
Mozilla Firefox
Other web browsers will most likely be usable as well, but you may experience some visual glitches or missing functionality.
There’s two ways to access Configuration Manager for remote management. One is to navigate to the IP address of the recorder and click the gear icon in the bottom right corner. The other is to add “/admin” after the base IP address or hostname in the address bar. For example: http://192.168.2.1/admin
Logging into the Web Configuration Manager always requires authentication. By default, the User Name: Eventide Password: <serial number> are installed at the factory. It’s always recommended that these defaults are changed to something secure once the recorder is installed.
Navigation
Once authenticated through a web browser you will see the Eventide Configuration Manager. On the left side is a list of top level configuration categories. Clicking on a category will expand it, so you can see the configuration pages inside the category. Clicking on a link will take you to the corresponding Configuration Manager page. Each page is designed to allow the user to configure or view the status of an aspect of the recorder’s configuration. The categories and their contents are listed below.
