RS-232/Telnet Protocol
Pionout RS-232 Kabels
You will need a standard extension cable with male and female connector, if you make it yourself you will
need to connect Pin 2,3 and 5 on both sides.
You have full control using the serial interface to control the
MATRIX-X1616.
The universal RS-232 port can communicate with a PC or a control system like AMX/CRESTRON.
The unit is set to 57600 BAUD using 8 Data bits, no parity and 1 Stop Bit.
No Hardware or Software Handshaking.
The RS-232 output may be used to control other equipment and all commands received by the input will be
forwarded by the RS-232 output.

7.2 Using the graphical user interface
IMPORTANT!!!! Make sure the unit is setup to ETHERNET control !!!!
We preconfigure the Matrix for DHCP so you simply connect it to your network and let the magic do the
trick. The units serial number is the web adress for the integrated webserver. You will find it on the label
sticked to the units bottom. e.g. MATRIX1616_101
The webinterface is recalled by typing the serial number, e.g. in this case the 101.
http://MATRIX1616_101.
The point is important, without will not work !!!
As mentioned before you can configure the unit with a fixed IP adress and subnet mask.
You will need the LANTRONIX device manager, which is a setup software for the XPORT that we are using
in the matrix for LAN communication and Web server. There is a separate description how to change the
unit for fixed IP.
