3.2.1
A
basic GUI interface is programmed
into each switch matrix, and can be
accessed simply by typing the switch matrix' IP address into the address window of most
common browsers (See Figure 3.1.1). This interface is usable from almost any Windows,
Mac or Linux computer.

Web-browser GUI Interface
3.2.2
A more sophisticated interface
with options for setting up timed sequences
and running external programs at preselected times is available on the switch controller
program from the included CD. This program allows communication using either HTTP or
Telnet protocols as selected, but requires a Windows Operating system. For installation
instructions see chapter 1.
3.2.4
To start the program, go to the Start menu
and select All Programs>Mini-
Circuits RF USB Switch Controller (default), or go to the other destination address you
selected earlier. The “Mini-Circuits RF USB Switch Controller” icon should be waiting there
for you. Click on it and get started!
3.2.4
The Switch Controller Startup screen will
appear. For USB control see
section 3.1, for Ethernet control either type the IP address or click on the search icon next to
the IP address field.

Note:
Depending on the browser used and your network configuration you may need to disable
the proxy server for your computer, or add the switch matrix's IP address to the list of addresses
in the proxy server.
