Web App

The PoleFX controller hosts a local web application that can be accessed by any device on its network via either Wi-Fi or ethernet.

To access the web app via Wi-Fi, connect to the player’s Wi-Fi network, open a browser and navigate to 10.10.10.10:8080

To access the web app via Ethernet, plug a control device into the player’s Ethernet network, open a browser and navigate to 192.168.5.6:8080

💡 Tip: if you are connecting via Wi-Fi on a device with access to the internet through a separate network interface, you may need to disable the other interface (enable airplane mode or disable mobile data on a phone)
