5.11. Startup of the System
The following section describes the startup of the UBEX matrix system step-by-step from the beginning to
the displayed video on the sink devices.
ATTENTION!
Before powering on the system please check the
section to be sure all
installation steps are met with the connection requirements.
5.11.1. Switch on the Devices
Power on the network switch, the MMU, all the transmitters and the receivers, the source, and the sink
devices as well.
INFO:
UBEX endpoints and the MMU do a self-test during the booting procedure. After it is done, the last
configuration is loaded automatically.
5.11.2. Configure the Operation Mode
All endpoint devices are manufactured as transmitter (TX) by default. Set up the
operation mode
for the
endpoints using as receivers or transceivers with the adequate method:
▪
Before
connecting the device to the UBEX matrix - use the
Front panel LCD menu
(System settings /
Operation mode submenu).
▪
After
connecting the device to the UBEX matrix - use the
Lightware Device Controller software
. See the
details in the
5.11.3. Connect to the Matrix Management Unit
Establish the connection between the Matrix Management Unit (MMU) and the controller device. There is
three way to connect to the MMU:
▪
LAN
(Control Ethernet 1 and 2 ports; or via the network switch)
▪
Serial communication
(RS-232 1 and 2 ports)
ATTENTION!
User Ethernet is also transmitted over the SFP+ interface so be sure not to make network
loop!
INFO:
The USB control interface is under development.
INFO:
In the case of LAN connection: it does not matter that you connect to the MMU or an endpoint
device - finally you will control the MMU in both cases.
Network Settings
Check the network settings of the MMU. You can find the factory default settings of the device in the
section. The network settings can be changed using the following method:
▪
via
LDC software
, in the
Device discovery window
- see the details in the
Lightware Device Controller Software
All required settings can be done by control software, the Lightware Device Controller (LDC). See all the
Software Control - Lightware Device Controller
Discovering the MMU
Step 1.
Open the LDC software.
The
Device discovery
window will launch
automatically to discover
all available Lightware
devices on the network
where the controller
device is connected to.
Step 2.
Select the MMU
(UBEX-MMU-X200) and
click on the green
Connect
button.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
When the device discovery found your device but you cannot connect to it, you
can set the required IP address by clicking the pencil icon.
5.11.4. Check the Signal Status
The
Crosspoint menu
in the LDC software displays all important information about your UBEX matrix. For
more detailed information see the
section.
