MSC-V3232L Product Manual

1 Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Matrix Switch Corporation product. This section contains a

general overview of device functionality and provides information to get you up and running quickly.

Additional sections in this manual can be consulted for more detailed information on the subsystems and

features of this product.

1.1 Device Connections

The MSC-V3232L comes with a power supply adapter, a redundant power supply and a documentation CD.

Additional cables and hardware are not usually provided.

•Power supply adapter – A 12 VDC 5 Amp power supply adapter is provided which is connected to the

DE-9 Male connector on the device and plugged into a 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power source.

•Redundant power supply (Optional) – The additional redundant power supply can be connected via

the second power supply connector, to provide an additional power source in the event that one of the

supplies fails or is disconnected from the power source.

•Ethernet connector (Optional) – Connect to a network switch with an Ethernet cable. Required for

accessing the web page interface, TCP/IP Mascot interface or for interfacing with remote control panels.

This device can also be connected directly to a computer or remote panel (with a crossover Ethernet

cable).

•Analog Video Inputs – Connect composite video sources to input connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable

with BNC connectors. Unused inputs can be left unconnected.

•Analog Video Outputs – Connect composite video destinations to output connectors using 75 Ohm

Coax cable with BNC connectors. Unused outputs can be left unconnected.

•External Audio Router (Optional) – An additional Matrix Switch Corporation AES or analog audio

router can be utilized with this router by connecting it to the AFV connector with a 25 pin straight

through cable. NOTE: The audio router should be powered on before the video router to ensure proper

initial routing state or alternatively Preset 0 can be recalled to initialize it at any time.

•Sync Reference (Optional) – If switching on vertical sync pulse is desired, connect one of the Sync

Reference connectors to a sync pulse signal (NTSC, PAL or tri-level) using 75 Ohm Coax with BNC

connectors and the other Sync Reference connector can be used as a pass-through to additional properly

75 Ohm terminated equipment or a 75 Ohm terminator should be installed. If the sync reference

functionality is not used, both connectors can be left unconnected.

•RS-232 Serial (Optional) – If serial control is desired, using the Mascot P rotocol , connect a D9 female

to male straight through cable to a control system, such as a computer. Use 9600 bps N1 as the serial

configuration and enable local echo to see typed characters. See Serial Interface Pinout for additional

details.

1.2 Powering Up The Device

This device is not equipped with a power switch and is simply connected to the power supply adapter which is

plugged into a suitable AC power source, to power it up.

Once the device is powered it goes through the following startup sequence:

•5 second startup delay to allow for Power On Software Updates.

•Routing matrix is initialized to Preset 0 state (defaults to source 1 connected to all destinations).

MSC-V3232L Product Manual

•The button control panel is initialized and buttons are illuminated to show the initial routing status.

1.3 Front Pane Button Interface

The MSC-V3232L is equipped with a 32x32 button panel which provides one of several options for controlling

and viewing the status of the routing matrix.

This panel interface provides separate input and output buttons. One output button is active at a time, indicated

by it being lit. The current connection status for the active output is indicated by the relevant numbered input

button being lit. Pressing an input button will cause that input to be connected to the current active output.

1.3.1 Audio Breakaway

An audio breakaway is performed by first selecting the desired output, by pressing the relevant output button,

then pressing and holding an input button, followed by pressing another input button. The 1st input button

pressed selects the source of the primary level. The 2nd input button pressed will become the secondary (audio)

source and will flash, indicating a breakaway.

1.4 Web Page Interface

All Matrix Switch Corporation router and panel devices come with a built-in web page interface.

This is the recommended interface for configuration and is also a convenient way to control the matrix routing

of the device.

Devices come factory configured with default settings, unless a pre-configuration request is made during

purchase, an example being a multi device application.

1.4.1 Accessing The Web Page Interface

The default network IP address for this device is 192.16 .2.60. Refer to the table below for the default IP

addresses for other types of Matrix Switch Corporation devices.

Device Type Default IP Address

Video/Audio Routers 192.16 .2.60

Remote Button Panels 192.16 .2.64

Remote LCD Screen Panels 192.16 .2. 0

Table 2: Default System IP Addresses

To access the web page interface of the device:

1. Connect the Ethernet port of a computer either directly to the device using a crossover cable to the same

Ethernet network through a network switch or other LAN infrastructure.

2. Manually configure the computer's IP address to be a unique address on the same IP subnet as the

device. For example 192.16 .2.10. The Netmask should be 255.255.255.0. A Gateway address is not

necessary for this purpose, but could be set to 192.16 .2.1.

3. Make sure the device is powered on.

4. Using a web browser on the computer, enter the device's IP address into the Location bar and press

MSC-V3232L Product Manual

ENTER. The device web page interface should load. If the web page interface fails to load, double

check the computer's network settings and physical Ethernet connections. In the event that the IP

address of the device is unknown, refer to the Unknown IP Address troubleshooting section.

1.4.2 Network Settings

Network settings can be changed on the Config tab of the Web Page Interface. This includes DHCP enable, IP

address, Netmask and Gateway settings. DHCP should only be used for assigning specific network settings

from a central DHCP server or when assigned IP addresses can be determined, otherwise configuring the device

via its IP address would be prevented if the IP address is unknown. After changing network settings, click the

Save button and then click the Reboot button to restart the device. Refer to the Config Tab - Network Settings

section for more details.

In the event that the device's IP address is unknown, refer to the Unknown IP Address troubleshooting section.

Refer to the Network Planning section for assistance with developing a network plan for multi-device

applications.

1.4.3 Matrix Routing

The Routing tab of the Web Page Interface provides a convenient way to view and change the matrix routing

state and is the default page shown.

A preset can also be recalled from this interface, by selecting one from the Load Preset drop down control.

Refer to the Routing Tab section for more details.

1.4.4 Labe s

Labels can be assigned to video (and audio if applicable) sources and destinations. Labels can also be assigned

to presets. Labels can be up to characters in length. The default source labels use “Src” as a prefix, and the

destination labels use “Dest” as a prefix (example: Src1). The presets are labeled “Startup” for Preset 0 and

“PresetN”, where N is a number from 1 to 9, for the remaining presets.

The Labels Tab on the Web Page Interface can be used for modifying labels. Click the Save button to store any

changes that are made. Refer the Labels Tab section for more details.

1.4.5 Presets

There are 10 stored matrix routing presets. Preset 0 is recalled on power up and by default routes source 1 to all

destinations. All other presets default to “No Change” for all destinations, which when recalled will have no

effect. Presets can assign a partial subset of destinations or all destinations as desired.

Presets can be modified on the Presets Tab of the Web Page Interface. Refer to the Presets Tab section for more

details.

1.4.6 Pane Remote Router IP Address

Remote panels control Matrix Switch Corporation video/audio routers with the TCP/IP protocol via the Ethernet

port.

NOTE: The button panel interface of a router device may also be used to remotely control a different router. In

that case the Control Mode selection setting is used to determine the mode of the panel interface.

MSC-V3232L Product Manual

The Remote Router IP setting on the Config Tab of the Web Page Interface defines the IP address of the

remote router which the panel interface will control. This defaults to 192.16 .2.60 on remote panels, which is

the default IP address of Matrix Switch Corporation routers.

After changing the Remote Router IP setting click the Save button to store the changes, which take effect

immediately (a reboot is not required).

Refer to the Config Tab - Button Panel Settings section for more details on configuring the Remote Router IP

Address.

Refer to the Network Planning section for more details on configuring devices in multi-device applications.

1.5 Network P anning

The default device settings can be used without change, in applications with a single router and optionally one

remote panel on the same Ethernet network. Larger installations or integration with existing IP LAN networks

require some network planning.

NOTE: Matrix Switch Corporation can assist in planning and pre-configuring devices for specific application

requirements at purchase time. Just ask a sales or customer service representative.

Manual IP address management is recommended, although a DHCP server can be a convenient option for

centrally managing IP addresses by device MAC address, resulting in a fixed IP for each device. Consult your

DHCP server documentation for information on assigning IP addresses by MAC address, if this is desired.

All devices which need to communicate with one another (routers, remote panels and computers) need to be

physically connected to the same LAN or allow IP packet routing between networks if on separate LANs.

SECURITY WARNING: Matrix Switch Corporation devices are meant for installation in trusted LAN

environments. In the event that remote device configuration or control is desired over public networks or the

Internet, it is strongly recommended that some form of inter-network security is utilized, such as VPN. This is

necessary to prevent undesired access to devices.

Devices on the same LAN need to be assigned unique IP addresses in the same IP subnet. Matrix Switch

Corporation devices are configured by default to use IP addresses in the class C IP subnet 192.16 .2.x. When

integrating devices into an existing LAN network, unique IP addresses should be assigned from the applicable

network and the Netmask setting of the devices should be set to reflect the class (size) of the IP network (the

default of 255.255.255.0 is for class C, which accommodates up to 254 addresses).

The Gateway setting is required to be set to the IP address of the network gateway on remote panels which will

be accessing routers across network subnets, but this setting is otherwise not needed.

After assigning device network settings, including unique IP addresses, remote panels need to be assigned the

correct IP addresses to their Remote Router IP setting of the router they will control.

Additional configuration changes may be required, depending on the application and are described in

subsequent sections.
