6.1. The Matrix Management Unit (MMU)
The Matrix Management Unit (MMU) is the brain of UBEX system in the case of Matrix mode. The MMU
builds up the crosspoints; controls, manages, and supervises the endpoints connected the UBEX network.
When the endpoint devices are connected to the network and they are claimed by the MMU, the UBEX matrix
became one entity which is managed by the MMU.
Port Diagram
Port diagram of the Matrix Management Unit
The UBEX-MMU-X200 can receive control signals from the two serial ports (RS-232 1 and 2), and the two
Ethernet ports (Control Ethernet 1 and 2).

ATTENTION! The Control Ethernet 1 port (on the front panel) supports 100 Mbps Ethernet only. The
Control Ethernet 2 port (on the rear panel) supports the 1 Gbps Ethernet connection.
INFO:
The MMU does not transmit HDMI signals.
The CPU forwards the RS-232 and Ethernet signals to the SFP and CATx ports and after a TCP/IP converting
transmits it to UBEX endpoints.
The Functions of the Matrix Management Unit (in Matrix Mode):
▪ Dynamic crosspoint handling
▪ Network bandwidth utilization management
▪ EDID management
▪ Monitoring of the network and the endpoints
Backup and restore
▪
▪ Interface for third-party system controllers
▪ Centralized firmware upgrade method for the endpoint devices

What if the Connection with the MMU is lost?
If the connection with the MMU is lost, the AV signal transmission between the endpoint devices will continue
without any problem. You can calculate with the following restrictions:
▪ Establishing the connection to the UBEX matrix is not available;
▪ Crosspoint changing is not available;
▪ Dynamic EDID will not be changed in the case changing a sink device on a receiver;
▪ Control features of the system are not available.
Once the MMU returns to the system and establishes the connection with the endpoint devices, the above
listed restrictions cease immediately.
6.2. Control Features
The following sections are about how to control the endpoint devices and the Matrix Management Unit by a
computer or any third-party controller.
INFO:
It does not matter which device (the MMU directly or any endpoints) you want to use establishing
connection with the UBEX matrix, you will reach the MMU finally.
The following interfaces can be used to control the matrix:

only.
INFO:
The USB control interface for the MMU will be added by a future firmware update.
