administrator rights using the default account:

user name: admin

password: admin

6. Configure your system as required.

7. Optional: Establish a network connection

between the matrix switch and the software

tool so you can set an extended configuration

(refer to the user manual).

Default IP adress: 192.168.100.99

DHCP is deactivated by default.

NOTE: When installing several matrices at the

same time, we strongly recommend that you

install them in sequence and assign unique IP

addresses to avoid IP address conflicts.

NOTE: If you wish to enable the Java Tool,

you will need to enable this in the

Configuration Menu under System.
