Hello all
I am trying to remote access an old tbs800 through web and tried differnet versions of java and using compatibility mode in edge to internet explorer but can't access the tbs800.
can anyone help me how can I access this device.
I also read this link (https://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vid...s800-info.html) and used java 1.6 and IE tab on chrome but didn't work.
All the functions are accessible from the front panel, so you don't really need a web interface, if you must you would need the rollcall web interface app, Here is the link.
Note that you may need a cross ethernet cable for it to work, not a direct cable, unless you have a smart router that can detects the cross link and corrects for it.
Hello
It is faster from the web and i want to place it beside some devices in the server room.
After about 6 hours of trying more than 15 java jre and jdk versions it worked.
I searched for the rollcall but they said no lan connection in it just usb connection.
It is connected to a switch so i think no need for cross cable. The cross one when it is directly connected to a pc.
I'll give your link a try.
Thank you very much
The USB version does not need the Rollcall, Only ethernet port, Could you share you experience of how you got it working for future references when people come across this thread? screenshots a plus, thanks.
I finally sat down this last weekend and sorted out the TBS800 hardware, First I made an audio cable using an old D-SUB 25pin cable and two red and white RCA cables, Connected both cold and ground from the balanced D-SUB pins to the unbalanced RCA connectors just like I did to the BE75 and it worked.
Then I made a crossover RJ-45 cable with the tool using some supplies I had left from my previous DIY surveillance IP cameras install. However for the life of me I could not get this to work, Tried Chrome, Edge, RollCall, nothing worked, I'm using Windows 11 64bit though.
After a little bit of digging I found out that newer network cards don't need crossover cables, They work fine with a straight cable, So using one I was able to get the lights on the ethernet port to light up and the TBS800 displays an IP address, However I'm still not able to access its interface.
If not:
Are you connecting directly from the Windows 11 computer to the TBS-800? What are the IP addresses of the Windows machine and the TBS-800? If they are directly connected they are probably link local addresses that look like 169.254.x.x so they should work, but if they are not then there may be some mismatch there. Looking at the manual for the TBS-700 it looks like they may default to a 192.168.0.x address, in which case you need to manually set Windows to have an address in the same network (last number different, and not 0 or 255).
If yes:
What does the web browser say? Is it connecting at all?
Ok, I've managed to finally connect to it by setting the PC IP address to a different one, However all what I'm getting is a white page with a banner, no menus:
There is a JavaScript script served from the TBS to be executed by the web browser, based on the source of the html page it should be at http://192.168.0.100/launch.js
If we can get the source of the script we can see what it is trying to get the browser to do.
The other thing that might be useful is the console output of the browser when it loads the page. I'm guessing that is the next tab to the right from the selected "Elements" tab in the screenshot in post #11.
If you just load http://192.168.0.100/launch.js in a new browser window it will probably just display it as plain text that you can save or copy paste.
