Accessing Matrox Iris GT
After you have connected a power supply and networking cables to your Matrox
Iris GT, and configured your Matrox Iris GT so that it can communicate with
your network/computer, you can access and configure your Matrox Iris GT using
the Matrox Iris portal website (HTTP). You can also use MIL to develop and
deploy an application on your Matrox Iris GT. In addition, you can access your
Matrox Iris GT using three other methods: telnet, FTP, and file server.
❖
Throughout this chapter IrisName is used whenever you should use the name or
the IP address of your Matrox Iris GT.
Using the Matrox Iris portal website
The Matrox Iris portal website consists of a series of pages through which you
can configure your Matrox Iris GT, find other Matrox smart cameras on your
network, update the firmware, configure services (such as file servers, telnet, and
FTP) and handle licensing information. For the minimum requirements to
configure your Matrox Iris GT with MIL, refer to the
Minimum requirements to
configure your Matrox Iris GT subsection of the Installing MIL section, in
Chapter 1: Before you begin .
Accessing the portal website
To access the Matrox Iris portal website, open Microsoft Internet Explorer and go
to the following address:
The home page of the Matrox Iris portal website is displayed.
❖
Note that the first time that you view the Matrox Iris portal website, the License
terms page might be displayed. Verify that the current date and time displayed are
correct on this page. If they are not correct, they should be modified. The time
and date of your Matrox Iris GT are used to validate activated provisional licenses.
Once the provisional period begins, any attempt to tamper with the time or date
of your Matrox Iris GT, before the date of expiry, will disable the provisional
license. For more information about licensing, refer to the
MIL online help .
