First-time Connection Considerations

LAN port connection

If you connect your PC to the switcher via the LAN port, and it is the first
time you have done so, you may change the default settings (IP address,
subnet mask, and [optional] administrator password) on the controller
(see

Configuring for Network Communication

on page 25 for details.)

USB port connection

When you connect your PC to the DMS matrix switcher via the USB port
for the first time, the Found New Hardware Wizard opens.
