If you logged on using the administrator password or if no password was
required, the program connects you to the matrix switcher with all of the
administrator rights and privileges..

If you logged on using the user password, the program connects you to the
matrix switcher with only user capabilities.

If an incorrect password was entered, the program beeps and returns to the
password entry display.

Use the Matrix Switchers Control Program controls to operate the switcher as desired.

To create a tie, drag an input box to one or more output boxes. To remove a tie,
drag the output box to its tied input box or to the trash can.

To make the control program easier to use, assign a device icon to each input and
output. Click on a box that represents an input or output and drag the desired icon
onto the box from the icon palette that appears.

For quick display of information on a specific input or output device, position the
pointer tool over that input or output in the control program window. The program
opens a pop-up window that provides details about the connection to that device
(see the inset box in

figure 19

on the next page).

NOTE: The matrix size is so large that you need to scroll up and down to see all

of the inputs and outputs.

TIP: You can print a map of the current configuration by clicking
