S oftware Control – Using the Built-in Web
The MX8x8HDMI-Pro series matrix has a feature which allows to connect and
control the matrix through a web browser. The controlling features are not
so wide as in the case of Lightware Device Controller (LDC), but numerous
information is displayed and many settings are available. The router's built-
in website is compatible with the most common browsers and requires no
additional software components.

MX8x8HDMI-Pro series – User's Manual
5.1. Establishing the Connection
ATTENTION! Only one web page is allowed to open simultaneously to the same matrix. Other TCP/IP
connections are prohibited while the web page is opened.
ATTENTION! If the connection is made through the router's Ethernet port, be sure that the computer is in
the same network as the router. If the computer has multiple Ethernet connections (e.g. Wi-Fi and LAN
connections are used simultaneously) you will have to know the IP address for the one that is used for
controlling the matrix.
Step 1. Connect the matrix and the computer either via
▪ Ethernet, with LAN patch cable (to a Hub/Switch/Router), or
▪ Ethernet, with LAN cross cable (directly to Computer).
Step 2. Change to the desired IP settings if it is needed.
Step 3. Type the IP address to the address bar and press enter (factory default address is 192.168.254.254).
5.2. The Layout of the Built-in Web
The built-in web page allows almost the same controlling functions which are available via the LDC.
