The web control panel, WCP, provides a graphic alternative to
command-line control. This method uses the

standard browser.
The functions of the WCP are described in the following sections:
•
Routing Window
•
Configuration Tab
•
Presets Tab
•
EDID Tab
•
System Tab
See the
Ethernet Control
in
Chapter 2
for instructions on connecting to
the
Linx Switcher
