6.1 RCS² requirement
6.2 Connecting with the RCS²
The QuickMatriX can be controlled and operated either via the Front Panel, from your computer via the RCS²,
or via one of our Event Controllers. (Control of the QuickMatriX can also be integrated into automation and
control systems, contact your local technical support for more details.)
The RCS2 is an Adobe Air application that runs on your computer. Before you can
connect to your device, you must first download and install Adobe Air, then download
and install the RCS2 on your computer.
In order to connect the RCS2 to the device, you need to use a LAN connection. Use a
crossover cable if you connect your computer directly to the unit, or use straight cables if you are connecting
through a switch or hub.
Before switching ON the unit, please plug a LAN cable on the rear
panel into the Ethernet port. Then switch ON the unit.
By default, the network settings on the QuickMatriX are
Default IP Address: 192.168.2.140
Default Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default port: 10500
To be able to connect to this address, your computer will need to
be configured to use a unique IP address on the same network. If
this setup will be part of a larger network with other devices, please
check with your network administrator before plugging these
devices into the network to avoid any IP address conflicts.
For example, you could assign the following static IP address to your
computer:
Example Computer IP address: 192.168.2.50
Example Computer Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
To download the Remote Control Software, please visit our website and go into the product section. Then,
