TCP/IP Control
In addition to supporting IR and RS232 control, the Matrix Switch also supports TCP/IP
control.
The default settings are: IP: 192.168.1.239; Subnet Mast: 255.255.255.0; Gateway:
192.168.1.1; TCP Port: 23.
The IP and gateway settings can be changed as needed.
Connect the Ethernet port of the control device (such as a PC) and the Ethernet port of
the Matrix Switch to the same network segment. This allows the user to control the
Matrix Switch via the units web-interface GUI or designed TCP/IP communication
software.
5.3.4. Control Modes
The Matrix Switch can be controlled by a PC without a network connection (via a direct
connection) or by one or more PCs within a LAN.
Controlled by PC (with a direct connection)
Connect a computer’s Ethernet port directly to the Ethernet port of the Matrix Switch,
and set the PC’s network segment to the same as the Matrix Switch’s.
Controlled by PC(s) in LAN
Connect the Matrix Switch to a Router or Ethernet Switch and one or more PCs to the
same network to setup a LAN (as shown in the figure below). Set the network segment
of the Matrix Switch and PC(s) to the same segment set in the Router or Ethernet
Switch. This then allows the PC(s) within the LAN to control the Matrix Switch.
Follow these steps to connect the devices:
Step1.
Connect the Ethernet port of the Matrix Switch to the Ethernet port of the PC
with a Cat 5e/6 twisted pair Ethernet cable.
Step2.
Set the PC’s network segment to the same as the Matrix Switch’s. However if
the PC has the same network segment as the Router or Ethernet Switch then
please take note of the PC’s original network segment before changing it,
