Installation and Configuration

3. You can now connect transmitters and receivers to a numbered RJ-45 port on the cascaded
master and slave switches.
4. When you have connected the transmitters and receivers to the switching system, you will
need to configure the cascaded switch as a slave. For more information on configuring the
switch modes, see
Switch details
on page 23.
5. You can repeat steps 2 through 4 to cascade a third or fourth switch.
High availability cascading
You can add an additional layer of security and protection to your cascaded system (auto failover)
to guard from a system failure. This configuration, known as cascade redundancy, allows you to
designate a slave switch as a backup to the master switch. When the slave becomes the backup, it
is then called a peer switch and will automatically take over if failure occurs in your initial system.
For more information on cascade redundancy, see
Cascade Tab
on page 28.
Extended Mode
In an Extended Mode configuration, the Matrix transmitter is connected to the target device and the
Matrix receiver is connected directly to the monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers. This
configuration enables a quick system installation.
NOTE:
There is a 100 meter limit between transmitters and receivers.
Switch Configuration
After the Avocent Matrix Switching System has been installed, you can begin configuration. By
default, DHCP is enabled on the switch. Once the switch receives an IP address, it is displayed on
the LCD display on the back of the unit. You can begin configuration by using the setup port or
using the On-board Web Interface (OBWI). For more information on the OBWI setup, see
On-
Board Web Interface
on page 13.
Setup Port
The setup port on the back of the Matrix switch allows the administrator access to a menu for setup
and configuration of the switch. From the serial menu you can configure network settings, setup or
change passwords, upgrade the firmware or reset to factory defaults.
NOTE:
The default username and password is Admin with no password. When you login for the first time,
you will be prompted to change the password.
