Upload HTML files
N The HTML Files List window is for inserting your own HTML pages. This is
not the window to replace the firmware that controls all switcher operation. See
“Update firmware” in this chapter to replace the firmware.
You can create customized HTML pages for the switcher to display. The HTML
Files List window (figure 5-32) provides a way to view the contents of the
switcher’s file system and upload custom HTML pages to the switcher.
Figure 5-32 — HTML Files List window
N The files listed in figure 5-32 are shown for example only and may not be present
on your switcher.
Upload HTML pages as follows:
N The following characters are invalid in file names:

1 . Connect the PC to the matrix switcher via one of the switcher’s RS-232 ports
