If you need to use your own Software Control program from a PC or

automation, the device allows communication through an ASCII code

protocol. All commands can be found on the CD-Rom shipped with

the

Smart MatriX in the “External Programming” file.

All

Analog Way products equipped with a RS-232 input are

compatible with Crestron, AMX, Medialon, and most major control

systems. TCP/IP control ports are also available on most Analog

Way products, as standard or as options.

To control a

Smart MatriX with an External Remote Controller (PC

Software Control - Touch Pad Controller…) follow the indications

below:

1. First establish a RS-232 communication between the Remote

Control Software and the

Smart MatriX, in order to setup the

LAN parameters of the product.

2. In the “Control” - “

Smart MatriX LAN Setup” menu, configure

the connection of the

Smart MatriX in UDP mode and setup the

Local and Remote Addresses as well as the Local and Remote

Ports in concordance with your Network.

3. Configure the TCP/IP address of your External Remote

Controller.

In example: 192.168.000.001

4. Setup the UDP connection of your External Remote Controller in

concordance with your Network.

For example on the Remote Software in the “Control” - “RS232/

LAN Setup” - “LAN/Setup” menu :

5. Setup the LAN parameters in UDP mode in the “Console” - “LAN

Setup” menu.

For example: RK Address:

192.168.000.002
