ACCESSING DDX MATRIX

DDX switches are configured via their network connections using an intuitive browser-
based application, called DDX Matrix. This secure, password protected application is
accessible by any authorized user, located anywhere.
To access DDX Matrix
1 Use a computer that is directly or indirectly (i.e. via a network switch) connected to
the DDX switch. If you need to make a temporary connection, see right
2 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the DDX switch.
The DDX switch uses the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol to attempt contact
with a valid DHCP server to determine a suitable IP address. If a DHCP server cannot
be located then the switch will automatically fall back to a link-local IP address (in the
range 169.254.1.0 thru 169.254.254.255).

Whichever method the switch uses, the initial IP address can be discovered either:
• Using the Windows network browser (of a computer connected to the same sub
network or directly to the switch), or
• In the lower right corner of the OSD screen (of a console connected to one of the
user ports) see Viewing the OSD.

Note: For security, DDX Matrix uses HTTPS by default with a self-signed certificate - Please
ignore any warnings that may be displayed by your web browser.
3 If requested, enter your username and password to log on.

Note: The default username and password are admin and password respectively.

The opening page of the DDX Matrix should be displayed:
