Note:
If you are using a proxy server for your LAN connections you may need to define a name
for the switch matrix IP address, or disable the proxy server to connect to the switch matrix via
Ethernet.
3.1.8
The Ethernet Configuration settings are:
# Name
Description
1
MAC Address
Media Access Control Address – a unique, unchanging identifier for the
switch matrix unit.
2
Network
gateway
IP address of the network gateway. When DHCP is selected this is assigned
by the server and will change according to the server.
3
Subnet Mask
The Network's Subnet Mask. When DHCP is selected this is assigned by the
server and will change according to the server.
4
IP Address
The IP address of the unit in your Network. When DHCP is selected this is
assigned by the server and will change according to the server.
5
Use DHCP
When selected the Switch matrix will query the server for appropriate
parameters with no input from the user and will disregard IP Address, Subnet
Mask and Network gateway entered manually.
6
Refresh
Request IP address, Gateway and Subnet mask from Server.
7
Copy state
Copies current state of dynamic IP to static IP, not available when DHCP is
selected.
8
Static
Configuration
When DHCP is not selected the User must specify the values below and will
not be changed by the server.
9
Telnet Port
Port to be used for telnet communication. Can not be changed by User
10
Store
After you've made all changes you want to click on this button to save the
settings.
11
Password
If you want to limit the users able to access the Switch box select "Use
Password" and enter the desired password (up to 20 characters).
12
HTTP Port
Specify the port to use for communications with the Network (default 80).
Note Port address does not get assigned by the Server when DHCP is
selected. Port 23 is reserved for Telnet communication and cannot be used.
3.1.9
After making the changes you want, click on "Store"
and the changes
will be saved to the switch matrix's memory. See section 3.2 for working with Ethernet
control.
3.2
Ethernet Interface
Mini-Circuits provides two Graphical User Interfaces for Ethernet (HTTP) control of the switch
matrix and one for Ethernet (Telnet). These interfaces allow you to control the switch matrix
remotely from almost any computer connected to a network, or even a smartphone. If the switch
matrix is connected to the same network as the computer or smartphone you wish to use to
control the switch matrix you can proceed directly to control it as detailed below. In order to
control the switch matrix over the internet you will first need to set up a Virtual Private
Network(VPN).
