Extron FPC 5500 • Matrix System Operation 15
Starting Up the Controller and Logging In and Out
Use the FPC to control the matrix as follows:
1. For a Matrix 12800 system, ensure that all BMEs that are part of the system have been
connected to each other and their BME numbers have been set correctly (see the
Matrix 12800 user guide for this procedure). For FOX Matrix 14400 and 320x systems,
ignore this step.
2. Power on the FPC. After the computer boots up, the LCD touch panel displays the FPC
startup screen (see figure
15). Observe the message **NOT Logged ON** in the
upper right corner of the blue field.

screen after 5 minutes. Touch on the screen to wake up the controller (see
”
Miscellaneous Screen ” on page 41 for how to disable the screen saver).
3. Touch the Log On button. The IP connection screen appears (see figure 16).
