Chapter 2 Installing the iMatrix Switch

Overview

The procedure for installing the iMatrix Switch follows these basic steps:

•Plan the installation

•Conﬁgure IP parameters

•Mount the iMatrix Switch

•Connect the Management Port

•Connect to the network

•Connect to the monitoring devices

•Apply power to the iMatrix Switch

•Check the installation

Installation Planning

There are two methods for connecting your iMatrix Switch:

Single iMatrix Switch Mode

•A single monitoring device to controls the Monitor Ports of a single iMatrix Switch from one COM Port.

Daisy Chaining Mode

•Allows up to three iMatrix Switches to be controlled from one monitoring device or host PC.

Remote Access

The remote access features require that you assign an IP address to the iMatrix Switch. If you are daisy chaining iMatrix Switches, you only need an IP address for the Controller iMatrix Switch. You may also wish to assign a netmask.

If you plan to remotely control the iMatrix Switch over WAN, you can also set a gateway and IP address where you plan to use the SNMP management tool.
