STEP 2A: SET UP TEST INSTALLATION
If you are a first-time user, we recommend that
you set up a test installation in a single room.
This will allow you to identify and solve any
cabling problems, and experiment with your
system more conveniently.
STEP 2B: MATRIX SETUP
1. Install the CPU and I/O boards.
2. Connect a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the
CPU board of the matrix.
3. Connect the matrix to the power supply.
4. Open the On-Screen Display (OSD) using the
following hotkey combination: press <left
shift> twice rapidly, then <o>. Log in to the
configuration menu with administrator rights
using the default account:
username: admin
password: admin
5. Configure your system as required.
We recommend that you save the
configuration and restart the matrix when
you have finished setting up your system.
Select Configuration > Save and then restart
the matrix by selecting Restart Matrix.
6. Optional: Establish a network connection
between the matrix and the software to
set an extended configuration (refer to the
user manual). The default IP address is
192.168.100.99 and DHCP is deactivated.
When installing several matrices at the same
time, we strongly recommend that you install
them in sequence and to assign unique IP
addresses to avoid IP address conflicts.
STEP 2C: EXTENDER SETUP
1. Connect the CON units to the matrix using the
interconnect cables (CATx or fiber).
2. Connect the CON units to the input devices you
will use (for example, keyboard and mouse).
3. Connect the power supply units to the CON units.
4. Check the basic function of the CON unit by
opening the OSD with the hotkey combination:
press <left shift> twice rapidly, then <o>. Close
the OSD by pressing <left shift> +<esc>.
5. Connect the source (computer, CPU) to the
CPU unit of the extender using the provided
connection cables.
6. Connect the CPU unit to the matrix using the
provided interconnect cables (CATx or fiber).
7. If you have a video matrix, connect the
video source directly to the matrix using the
interconnect cables (coax, fiber).
8. Connect the power supply units to the CPU units.
9. Start the system.
