8x8 and 16x16 VGA / HDTV Matrix Switch with Audio, RS232 & IP Control
27
Note on IP Settings through port 23
If you are unable to access the unit’s
port 23 from your PC using the
matrix’s default or last known IP
address, it could be that the IP
address of the matrix is not
compatible on your LAN. One way
around this is to connect your PC
directly to the Matrix’s IP port using a
cross over cable, or use a switch or
router not connected to anything else
but your PC and the Matrix, Then
configure your PC for a static IP
compatible with the current address
of the matrix. If the matrix has the
factory default of 192.168.123.180, a
PC address of 192.168.123.nnn may
be entered where nnn is any number
except 180.
Note on Accessing the Matrix via the Internet
It is best to contact your IT or network administrator for assistance. As
mentioned earlier you can control the matrix through its IP via port
1001 (default). Most likely the unit will be on a local network connected
to an Ethernet Switch or Router with a WAN connection. To access the
matrix from outside your local network, you should configure the
Ethernet Switch or Router to treat the IP and port assigned to the
matrix as a virtual server this is a setting of your switch or router. Then
you can access the matrix from anywhere on the internet via your WAN
address and assigned port. It is advised to set the matrix’s Gateway
address the same as your Ethernet switch or router’s Gateway IP
address. In case of trouble please contact your IP administrator for
assistance.
