Once the custom firmware has been successfully installed via USB, a simple web interface will be available by entering your Humax's IP address into a web browser. First, verify that your Humax has Internet access by using the Humax TV Portal to access some content. Then, using a web browser on a computer connected to the same network as the Humax, enter the IP address which has been assigned to the Humax into the address bar e.g. :-

10.0.0.200

To determine the IP address of your Humax, use the TV On-screen menus to navigate to MENU >> SETTINGS >> SYSTEM >> INTERNET SETTINGS >> CONFIGURE LAN >> IP Address

Then enter that IP address directly into the address of your favourite web browser (this process has been reported to work with Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Mobile Safari).
