Among others, this page displays both the Connection and the Logon State.

It also has two page buttons:

  • Configuration: Allows you to download the configuration to a location on your computer.
  • Security: Allows you to fill in your login credentials. This is necessary for the connector to work properly (cf. 'Configuration' section of this help).

Interfaces

This page displays information about the interfaces the server is using and about the Network Ports.

Streams

On this page, you can poll for ls-media -lj, which returns every stream the server is using. As this response can be very large, there is an option to enable or disable this functionality.

Statistics
