4.If you selected IP [LAN] in step 2, the IP Connection window appears.

a.Examine the Matrix IP Address field, which displays the last Matrix IP address entered.

If necessary, enter the correct IP address in the field.

NOTE: 192.168.254.254 is the factory-specified default value for this field.

b.If the switcher is password-protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user password in the Password field.

c.Click Connect. The Matrix Switchers Control Program is ready for operation.

Accessing the HTML Pages

Another way to configure and operate the switcher is via its factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten. The HTML pages that are pre-loaded on the switcher are accessible through its LAN port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a web browser such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer® (see item F on page 8, for connection information.)

Configuring for Network Communication

The first time you connect a PC to the LAN port of a switcher, you may need to temporarily change the IP settings of the PC in order to communicate with the controller. Then you must change the default settings of the controller (IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator name and password) in order to use the unit on an intranet (LAN) or on the Internet. After you have set up the DMS matrix switcher for network communication, you can reset the PC to its original network configuration.

NOTE: The computer and the switcher must both be connected to the same subnet on a LAN (using a straight-through cable). Alternatively, you can use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the controller directly to the computer.

Use the ARP command to configure the IP address as follows:

1.Obtain a valid IP address for the DMS matrix switcher from the network administrator.

2.Obtain the MAC address (UID #) of the switcher from the label on its rear panel. The MAC address should have this format:

00-05-A6-xx-xx-xx.

3.If the switcher has never been configured and is still set for factory defaults, go to step 4. If not, perform a mode 4 system reset. For detailed information on reset modes, see “Reset Operations” in the DMS Series Matrix Switchers User Guide.

NOTE: The switcher must be configured with the factory default IP address (192.168.254.254) before the ARP command is executed, as described below.

4.At the PC, access the MS-DOS®command prompt, then enter the arp –scommand. Type in the desired new IP address for the unit (see step 1) and the MAC address of the unit (from the rear panel of the unit). For example (where the new address is 10.13.197.7): arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0and then press <Enter>.

After receiving the arp -s command, the controller changes to the new address and starts responding to the ping requests, as described in step 5.

NOTE: You must ping the DMS matrix switcher as shown in step 5 for the IP address change to take place. The response should show the new IP address, as shown in the following figure.
