PDM II can be operated remotely in exactly the same way as you would from the physical front panel by selecting the Front Panel tab.

Important - When using the web GUI to control a PDM II in another studio, always check to make sure the unit isn't in use and feeding audio to your program bus to avoid accidentally disrupting on-air programming.
Note - Changes made at the PDM II's front panel while the web GUI is open will not be automatically reflected on the remote computer; it is necessary to refresh the page to see any changes. To avoid confusion, we recommend against making changes on both the front panel and web GUI at the same time.
The display will match that of the physical front panel, and all lights and buttons will be in sync. This page is fully interactive, and the on-screen buttons can be activated with a mouse click. The following keyboard shortcuts are also supported:
The Left, Right, Up, and Down keyboard arrow keys correspond to the front panel arrow buttons.
The keyboard "Enter" key corresponds to the green "Checkmark" button.
The keyboard "Escape" key corresponds to the red "X" button.
The letters "B", "E", "C", "D", and "Y" respectively correspond to the Build, Exit, Cough, Dump, and Bypass buttons.
Front Panel "Mini Windows"
Clicking on the "Mini Front Panel" link at the bottom of the page just beneath the Build and Exit buttons opens a smaller version of the front panel in its own window. It can be re-sized as needed by clicking and dragging the lower right corner.

You can also simultaneously connect to multiple PDM II units from the same computer by clicking on the "Multiple Front Panel" button, which opens an "Add PDM II" dialog box in a new tab.

By default, the IP address of the unit to which you are already connected appears in the web address field. Click the "Add" button to open a Mini Front Panel for this unit. Enter the IP addresses of any additional PDM II's as desired, click "Add", and enter the user name and password when prompted.
As many as 20 panels can be displayed at once. The name of each PDM II (as set in the "Configuration" menu) will be displayed to help identify each specific unit.

Note - The Mini Front Panels are displayed in the order in which you entered them; once displayed, they cannot be re-ordered without closing the multi-display window and starting over in the desired order.
