Draco tera IP Gateway

6.2.6  Connecting to the Matrix via Device Finder 

 At least power user rights are required, and the API function have to be enabled. 

 

 Up to 16 connections between the matrix and the management software can be established at the same time due 

to a limitation of available sockets. 

 

The 

Device Finder

 offers the possibility to find all matrices that are in the same subnet. This is useful, e.g., if the IP 

address of a specific matrix is unknown and should be accessed via IP.
