Software Operation via Ethernet

When an MTPX Plus switcher is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, up to 200 users can be connected to operate it, locally or remotely, using the Matrix Switchers Control Program (see “Ethernet Connection” in the “Installation” section for installation details).

Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two levels of password protection:

•Administrators have full access to all MTPX Plus switching capabilities and editing functions.

•Users can select inputs and outputs, set and recall presets, and view all settings with the exception of passwords.

If the same password or no password is required for logging on, all personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed user privileges are not available in the Matrix Switchers Control Program when the operator is logged on as a user.

Ethernet protocol settings

The IP Settings/Options screen (see figure 54 on page 103) provides a location for viewing and, if connected via a serial port or USB port or if logged on via the LAN port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface (see “IP Settings/Options window”, later in this chapter, for more details).
