Matrox Monarch Device Setup
Step 1 -- Powering up the Monarch and setting the IP mode
On initial power up, Monarch automatically boots in DHCP IP mode to connect to a DHCP-enabled network, but
you can force Monarch to boot in Static IP mode (169.254.1.11)* if there is no DHCP network available.
Power up the Monarch by connecting the external power supply to an AC outlet. The following will occur:
Note When you power off the Monarch, the device maintains the previously-selected IP mode.
Step 2 -- Connecting to a network and finding the IP address
Option 1 -- Connecting to a network with a DHCP server
A DHCP-enabled network will assign the Monarch an IP address. Use one of these methods to find the address:
•HDMI Monitor Connect an HDMI monitor to the Monarch’s HDMI output, and then power up the
device. The IP address is displayed on-screen for 30 seconds before the passthrough signal is displayed.
•USB device Connect a USB device to the Monarch’s USB 2 port, and then reboot the device. The device’s
current IP address and status will be automatically copied to the USB device as a .txt file.
•Matrox Monarch Utils Use the Monarch Utils application (available for HD, HDX, and LCS on both
Mac OS and Windows). This is useful when you are not physically near the device:
aConnect an Ethernet cable from the Monarch’s LAN port to a network port.
bDownload the appropriate Matrox Monarch Utils (HD, HDX, or LCS) from the Matrox website at
www.matrox.com/video/support, and then copy it to a computer on the same subnet as your Monarch device.
cRun the Utils application file to open the application. If Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is enabled on your
network, Utils will automatically scan for Monarch devices. To scan manually, click the Find All button.
•Matrox Monarch LCS Radar Matrox Monarch LCS users can download the Matrox Monarch LCS
Radar monitoring application and its accompanying documentation from www.matrox.com/video/support.
