INSTALLATION

Connecting the Computers:

9. Connect all computers to the Primary and Secondary switches. Refer
to “Single MATRIX2 Installation” on page 10 for instructions on how
to connect the Console and the computers to the MATRIX2.
10. Connect the power supply to the Primary switch first and power up
the MATRIX2. You should see it light up and display the digits “00”,
indicating its BANK address.
11. Power up the Secondary switches sequentially, beginning with BANK
01 by connecting each unit’s power supply. Each switch should
display its corresponding BANK address number as it is powered up.
Note: If the MATRIX2s do not enumerate correctly, reset the Primary
switch (BANK 00) by simultaneously pressing the “BANK +” and
“BANK -” buttons. You can also reset the Primary switch to detect
newly added Secondary switches. If the switches still do not
enumerate correctly, check that all switches have the correct
BANK address assigned to them and that all daisy-chain cables
are connected properly.
12. Verify that the Primary unit has detected all Secondary switches by
scrolling through the BANKs using the BANK + and BANK - buttons
for both Consoles. If all Secondary switches are detected properly, the
LED displays on the Primary switch will register and display all
attached switches by BANK address.

INSTALLATION

Before You Begin:

1. Make sure that all computers are powered off and that each MATRIX2
has been assigned a unique BANK address.
2. Place Primary and Secondary switches in the desired location. Make
sure all are turned off and unplugged from the power source.
3. Connect the Console monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the Console
ports of the Primary switch (BANK 00), as described previously in this
installation guide.

Connecting the Primary Switch to First Secondary Switch:

4. Using the MATRIX2 daisy-chain cable (F1D9302-XX), connect one end
of the cable to the “Input” port on the Primary switch (BANK 00).
5. Connect the other end of the daisy-chain cable to the “Output” port of
the Secondary switch (BANK 01).

Adding Additional Secondary Switches:

6. Using the daisy-chain cable (F1D9302-XX), connect one end of the
cable to the available daisy-chain port labeled “Input” on the
Secondary switch (for example, BANK 01).
7. Connect the other end of the daisy-chain cable to the “Output” port of
the Secondary switch that you are adding (for example, BANK 02).
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for additional MATRIX2s you wish to
daisy-chain together.

Example of Daisy-Chain Configuration:

Cable 1 Primary Unit (BANK 00)
Cable 2 Secondary Unit (BANK 01)
Cable 3 Secondary Unit (BANK 02)
Secondary Unit (BANK 03)
