Software Operation via Ethernet
When a matrix switcher is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, up to 200 users can
operate it, locally or remotely, using the Matrix Switchers Control Program.
See “
Ethernet Connection ” on page 18 for installation details.
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two levels of
password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all switching
capabilities and editing functions. Users can select inputs and outputs, recall presets, and
view all settings with the exception of passwords. If the same password or no password
is required for logging on, all personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and
functions that exceed user privileges are not selectable in the Matrix Switchers Control
Program when the operator is logged on as a user.
The IP Settings/Options window (
see figure 36 on page 94) provides a location for viewing
and, if the PC is connected via the RS-232 link or if you are logged on via the Ethernet port
as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface.
