Remote Control from a Network

You can control the MSG0804 or MSG0808 matrix switchers from a remote location
across a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), or even over the
Internet.
This remote network control is available in a client-server environment, where the
PC attached to the switcher is called the server, and the PC that needs to control the
device from another location is called the client.

Enabling remote control of the switcher over a network

Both the user operating the client (remote PC) and the user operating the server
(local PC) must install the ICS100 Control Software program onto their respective
PCs. See chapter 4, Windows-based Control Program, for information on installing the
software.
Each user—the one operating the server and the one operating the client—must
follow these instructions:
