Matrix Switch Corporation MSC-HD88L Product Manual Download Page 19

2.5.1 System Settings

System Name

 – A descriptive name of the system (up to 15 characters), displayed at the top of the Web 

Page interface which is helpful when managing multiple systems.

Disable Reclockers

 – Disable SDI reclockers (not supported by all Routers, added with Carina Series 

Firmware 5.3.0).

3D I/O Pairing

 – Enable pairing of destinations/sources for two channel 3D support (only supported by 

Routers with 2 or more destinations, added with Carina Series Firmware 5.3.0).

2.5.2 Network Settings

WARNING:

  

DHCP

 should only be enabled or the 

IP Address

 or 

Netmask

 changed if one has an 

understanding of TCP/IP network configuration.  Once the save button is pressed and the system is rebooted any
changes to DHCP enable, the IP Address or the Netmask shall result in having to access the web page with the 
new settings.  If there are Matrix Switch Corporation remote control panels which access the system which has 
been changed, they must also be reconfigured to use the new router IP address as well.  See the 

Network 

Planning

 section for more helpful information on planning your network.

Enable DHCP

 – Check this box to enable DHCP.  Disables IP Address, Netmask and Gateway fields as 

these settings are obtained from the DHCP server.

WARNING:

 A DHCP server must be present on your network for this to function properly.  Using 

DHCP allows for dynamic IP or fixed IP assignment from a central location (the DHCP server).  
Using this option is only recommended if using fixed IP assignment based on the device's MAC 
address or if there is a way to determine what IPs the devices get assigned.  Otherwise it may 
become difficult to determine what IP address to use when accessing the Web Page or utilizing other 
Ethernet control interfaces.

IP Address

 – The IP address of the system.

Netmask

 – The system network mask.

Gateway

 – The IP address of your network's Gateway, if applicable.  Only necessary on systems which 

access other systems outside of your network (a remote panel which accesses a router on a different 
network for example).

2.5.3 Button Panel Settings

These settings control the operation of the device's button control panel interface (if applicable).
Four fields are provided for specifying what portion of a router is controlled by the button panel interface.  This 
provides added flexibility in defining what destinations and sources a panel controls.  Some examples of use 
include, using multiple 16x1 Remote Panels (16 source, 1 destination) to control individual destinations of a 
16x4 Router (16 source, 4 destination).  Another usage scenario would be to have 2 separate panels control 
different levels of a Video/Audio Router.

Control Mode

 – Set the matrix control mode (only present on Routers, added with Carina Series 

Firmware 5.3.0).  Available options include:
