Matrox Monarch Device Setup Manual

Step 1 -- Powering up the Monarch and setting the IP mode
On initial power up, Monarch automatically boots in DHCP IP mode to connect to a DHCP-enabled network, but

Power up the Monarch by connecting the external power supply to an AC outlet. The following will occur:

If you have a
the Warning (
Monarch HDX
Various LEDs, including
If you have a

Note When you power off the Monarch, the device maintains the previously-selected IP mode.
Step 2 -- Connecting to a network and finding the IP address
Option 1 -- Connecting to a network with a DHCP server
A DHCP-enabled network will assign the Monarch an IP address. Use one of these methods to find the address:
• HDMI Monitor Connect an HDMI monitor to the Monarch's HDMI output, and then power up the
device. The IP address is displayed on-screen for 30 seconds before the passthrough signal is displayed.
• USB device Connect a USB device to the Monarch's USB 2 port, and then reboot the device. The device's
current IP address and status will be automatically copied to the USB device as a .txt file.

Mac OS and Windows). This is useful when you are not physically near the device:
