administrator rights using the default account:
user name: 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.
