Equipment Setup; Remote Ethernet Setup - FOLSOM MatrixPRO Installation And Operator's Manual

Equipment Setup

Connect the input and output sources on the MatrixPRO. Connect the MatrixPRO remote port to an available serial
(RS-232) port on the laptop/PC with the MP Control application installed. Turn on the MatrixPRO and wait for a
complete system boot up. After the MatrixPRO has successfully booted up, run the MP Control application.

Remote Ethernet Setup

To control the MatrixPRO using a computer on the same LAN, pre-configure the MatrixPRO with a static IP address
using RS-232 ipconfig command or program the MatrixPRO using the GUI over RS-232. On the remote computer,
launch the GUI. Press 'NO' when it asks if you would like to connect serially. Press the Setup tab. Enter the IP
address of the MatrixPRO in the IP address box. Click the 'Ethernet' radio button under the 'RS-232'. The
MatrixPRO now will be under the control of the GUI.
Note: Only one Ethernet socket is available so only one remote GUI can be accommodated at one time. However
the MatrixPRO can still be controlled via RS-232, RS-485 or the Front Panel while being controlled over Ethernet.
Press 'Update Status' as necessary to find the current status of the MatrixPRO if the unit is control by other sources.
Also note, if an operation such as a routing is not completed by using a Take command via the Front Panel or by
serial command, the GUI can fall into an unknown state and operation may become unreliable. To prevent any mis-
operation, it is recommended that the Front Panel Lockout be activated on the GUI.
