Software Operation Via Ethernet; Using The Matrix Switcher Control Software - Extron electronics DMS 1600 User Manual

Software Operation via Ethernet

When a matrix switcher is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, up to 200 users can
operate it, locally or remotely, using the Matrix Switchers Control Program (see
Port on page 11 for installation details).
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two levels of
password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all switching
capabilities and editing functions. Users can select inputs and outputs, recall presets, and
view all settings with the exception of passwords. If the same password or no password
is required for logging on, all personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and
functions that exceed user privileges are not selectable in the Matrix Switchers Control
Program when the operator is logged on as a user.
NOTE: The DMS is shipped password-protected. The factory configured passwords for
all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number. In the event of
a complete system reset, the passwords convert to the default, which is no password
