three ports:
•
Rear panel LAN port — For IP control of the system via an Ethernet LAN,
via this RJ-45 connector from anywhere in the world.
•
Rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port — The port can be configured
for either the RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication protocol and
operate at the 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rate (see the
SIS commands on page 60 to configure the port).

Front panel Configuration port — A USB B port.
Software Operation via Ethernet
When a matrix switcher is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, up to 200 users can
operate it, locally or remotely, using the Matrix Switchers Control Program (see
on page 11 for installation details).
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two levels of
password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all switching
capabilities and editing functions. Users can select inputs and outputs, 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 selectable in the Matrix Switchers Control
Program when the operator is logged on as a user.
The IP Settings/Options window (see
on page 67) provides a location for
viewing and, if connected via the RS-232 link or if logged on via the Ethernet port as an
administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface (see
on page 67 for more details).
