A material processing system includes a power supply in electrical communication with a cutting head. The power supply includes a control processor and a wireless communications control circuit configured to establish a web server for wirelessly communicating with a client device via a first communications interface. The wireless communications control circuit is configured to receive a request from the client device for a first web resource. The wireless communications control circuit is configured to request, via a second communications interface, a set of material processing system parameters from the control processor. The set of material processing system parameters is based on content of the request. The wireless communications control circuit is configured to serve, via the web server over the first communications interface, the first web resource to the client device. The first web resource includes web page formatting information and the set of material processing system parameters.
