Avenue 9430 Flexible Matrix Router Installation, Configuration and Operations Guide
Syntax Example:
@X:/,[/,…]
The symbols in the above example are , , , ,
and . The meaning of symbols like these will be defined as they occur
throughout this document.
The optional portion in the example (enclosed in square brackets), shows that
an additional “/” element may be present. It also indicates (with
the ellipse character) that this optional element may occur repeatedly.
The following characters in the example are literals and should be typed as
they appear (no quotes):

3 Overview
The 9430 Flexible Matrix Router is a highly configurable router. The basic size is 8 inputs by 2 outputs
(8x2). You can add up to two I/O Expansion Modules, each with 10 bi-directional ports. Each of
these additional ports can be independently configured as an input or output. This permits easy
configuration of the matrix into various symmetrical and asymmetrical geometries (28x2, 8x22, 15x15,
and many sizes in between).
In addition to the configurability of the ports within the matrix, the presentation of these inputs
and outputs to a control point (e.g., control panel, web browser, automation system, etc.) is also
configurable. This presentation is managed through a Profile—a map of the sources (inputs) and
destinations (outputs) that are available to a control point. The Profile also determines the order in
which the sources and destinations appear. These Profiles thereby provide the flexibility for every
control point to have its own view (or a shared view) of the organization of inputs and outputs. The
use of Profiles to order the inputs and destinations is of particular interest for installations using
automation systems. (For details, refer to “Understanding Profiles” on page 107 in this appendix.)
4 Before You Begin
Some configuration of the 9430 Router will be required in order to control it from an external device
such as an automation system.
In order to configure the router, you will need to establish an IP Address for the 9430 Router and
browse to the 9430’s web page from a computer. The details for doing this are not covered in this
appendix. Please refer to “Chapter 4: Configuration” earlier in this manual for instructions.
