5.1 Getting Device IP Address
The HSM matrix comes preconfigured for DHCP, which means it will automatically
obtain an IP address when it is connected to the LAN. It is recommended that you set
a static IP on each system in order to guarantee it maintains the same address. In
order to set a static IP you must first discover what DHCP address was issued and
then login to reconfigure the settings.
Download and install the Hall Research Device Finder utility. Once installed, run the
program. It will scan your LAN and locate any devices that are connected.

5.2 Controlling the Matrix via Web Interface
The Genesis Matrices with IP option have a powerful, yet easy to use IP based web
interface to control and monitor matrix. Web browser application running on any device
(Computer, Smartphone, iPad™) on the same network can use this interface.
Once you have the correct IP address of your device, open web browser of your choice
and type http:// your.device.ip.address in address bar and hit Enter.
The webserver will automatically format the display for the browser it is running on.
This means that on a Smart Phone the width and character sizes will be optimized so
you don’t have to deal with zooming and scrolling the screen to use the unit.
Furthermore, all elements on the screen are automatically updated from server side.
This means that if the video routing is altered by the front panel of the matrix or
another simultaneous LAN connection, your screen will automatically reflect the
change.
