Remote Control from a Network

You can control the MSG0804 or MSG0808 matrix switchers from a remote location across a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), or even over the Internet.

This remote network control is available in a client-server environment, where the PC attached to the switcher is called the server, and the PC that needs to control the device from another location is called the client.

Enabling remote control of the switcher over a network

Both the user operating the client (remote PC) and the user operating the server (local PC) must install the ICS100 Control Software program onto their respective PCs. See chapter 4, Windows-based Control Program, for information on installing the software.

Each user—the one operating the server and the one operating the client—must follow these instructions:

Configuring the server (local) PC

1.Attach the switcher to the server PC with a serial cable from the PC’s serial port to the switcher’s serial port. For information on wiring the cable, see Remote Control Port (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485)earlier in this chapter.

2.Click the Windows Start button, then select Programs, then ICS100, then Serial Server. The Inline Server Software (the “server”) launches and the Serial Port Server window opens.
