Windows Computer
In this section, software installation and network setup will be described on a Windows computer.
3.1.1 Initial Network Setup on a PC
The SE-1200 MU switcher is not supplied with a traditional hardware based control panel. Instead it is
controlled using a software user interface installed on your Windows-based computer. When new from
the factory the unit will initially have a static IP address of 192.168.100.101 by default. The unit can be
directly connected to a Windows-based computer using an RJ-45 ethernet cable. The following set up
should allow you to initially configure the unit before moving it to an existing DHCP / LAN network.

1. First connect the SE-1200 MU and the Windows computer together using an RJ-45 ethernet cable.
2. Turn on the Windows computer and set it to static IP set up within the Windows Network and Sharing
Centre. In our example the computer is given the following IP settings so that the computer matches
the same IP range as the switcher.
3. Now install the supplied SE-1200 MU controller software to the computer.
