Web UI Control
The Web UI designed for the matrix is available for basic controls and advanced settings of the device. The Web UI can be accessed through a browser. The matrix’s default network mode is DHCP. If there’s not a DHCP server, the matrix supports a local 169.254.xxx.xxx IP address.
To gain access to the web UI, perform the following steps:
-
Connect the LAN port of the matrix to your PC using a straight UTP cable or connect the matrix to a local area network and connect your PC to the same network. Using the latter connection, ensure a DHCP server is included in the local area network.
-
Use a tool, such as OvrC, to search the IP address of the device or send API command to get the IP address (For more information, see the separate document “API Command Set_B-660- MTRX-8x8”). If the matrix is connected directly to your PC, set your PC to the same network segment as the matrix.
-
Input the IP address in your browser and press Enter. The following window will display.
Enter the username and password. The default username and password are both “binary”. Then, click Login. Upon the first login, the following page will appear to prompt you to change the username and password.
Note: -__.The changed username and password must be different from the default username and password.
Note: -__.Username and password must be 4 to 16 characters in length, alphanumeric only.
