Choosing the Controller Device

In any VN-Matrix system, one device needs to be configured as a controller. The controller acts as a central point of reference for each device, manages all of the system communications to every matrix device present, and also serves the web-based control interface to the user.

NOTE:	The VNM Recorder is configured as a controller when shipped. The controller
address is set to the same value as the eth0 port (192.168.254.254).

The controller can be one of the following devices.

zz VN-Matrix 200, 225, 300, or 325 device which is suitable for small network systems zz VNM Recorder which is suitable for small network systems

zz VNM Enterprise Controller which is suitable for large network systems

When a controller device has been chosen, all devices within the VN-Matrix system must reference the IP address of the controller device. When configuration of the VN-Matrix system is complete, the IP address of the controller device can be entered into a suitable web browser running on any PC or laptop connected to the VN-Matrix network.

For information on how to configure the VNM Enterprise Controller, see the VNM Enterprise Controller User Guide. For information on how to configure the VN-Matrix encoders and decoders, see the VN-Matrix 200 Series User Guide, VN-Matrix 225 Series User Guide, VN-Matrix 300 User Guide, and the VN-Matrix 325 User Guide.
