Configuration
The way you access the configuration window for the Matrix Monitor application differs depending on whether you
configure the Matrix Monitor application for the first time or you want to make changes to the configuration of a
running Matrix Monitor application.
First time configuration
To configure the Matrix Monitor application for the first time, do the following:
1. Double-click the Matrix Monitor shortcut on your desktop:
Alternatively, use Windows’ Start menu, selecting All Programs > Milestone XProtect Matrix
Monitor > Milestone Matrix Monitor.
This will open the Matrix Monitor Configuration window:
2. In the Password and Retype Password fields, specify the
password required for communicating with your Matrix Monitor
application.
The password must match the password that has been specified
for your Matrix recipient on the surveillance system server;
consult your surveillance system administrator if in doubt.
Tip: Memorize the password; you will need it if you want to
change your Matrix Monitor application’s configuration at a later
stage.
3. Specify the port number on which your Matrix Monitor application
will listen for commands (e.g. about connecting to a camera).
By default, port 12345 is used. The port number must match the
port number that has been specified for your Matrix recipient on
the surveillance system server; consult your surveillance system
administrator if in doubt.
4. Specify which hosts (other computers) are allowed to send
commands to your Matrix Monitor application.
If commands from any host should be accepted, simply select Allow All Hosts.
If only commands from particular hosts should be accepted, leave the Allow All Hosts box cleared, and
do the following to add each required host:
a. Specify the IP address of the host in the field below the large Allowed Hosts box in the right side of
the window:
Tip: To jump to the next IP address segment in the field, press SPACE on your keyboard.
b. Click Add to add the host to the list of Allowed Hosts.
c. Repeat for each required host.
Tip: If you later want to remove a host from the list, simply select the unwanted host in the list, then
click Delete.
