MSC-HD42L Product Manual
1.3 Front Panel Button Interface
The MSC-HD42L is equipped with a 4x2 button panel which provides one of several options for controlling and
viewing the status of the routing matrix.
This panel interface provides independent status and control of 2 outputs. For each output there are 4 input
buttons indicated by the digits
1
through
4
centered vertically on the panel. The currently connected input is
indicated by the input button being lit, for each of the outputs. Pressing one of the input buttons of an output
will cause that input to be connected to the given output.
1.4 Web Page Interface
All Matrix Switch Corporation router and panel devices come with a built-in web page interface.
This is the recommended interface for configuration and is also a convenient way to control the matrix routing
of the device.
Devices come factory configured with default settings, unless a pre-configuration request is made during
purchase, an example being a multi device application.

same Ethernet network through a network switch or other LAN infrastructure.
2. Manually configure the computer's IP address to be a
unique
address on the same IP subnet as the
device. For example 192.168.2.10. The Netmask should be 255.255.255.0. The Gateway doesn't
matter for this purpose, but could be set to 192.168.2.1.
3. Make sure the device is powered on.

ENTER. The web page interface should load. If the web page interface fails to load, double check the
computer's network settings and physical Ethernet connections. In the event that the IP address of the
device is unknown, refer to the
troubleshooting section.

Network settings can be changed on the Config tab of the Web Page Interface. This includes DHCP enable, IP
