Connecting Matrox NRG to your network

Matrox NRG is fully functional as a power redundancy device without a network connection, but
network connectivity provides additional benefits such as remote monitoring and reboot capability.

Connecting to a DHCP-enabled network

Matrox NRG is set to a DHCP protocol by default, so a DHCP-enabled network will assign an IP
address to the NRG when it is connected to your network. You'll need this IP address to connect to
the NRG through a web browser.
Connect your Matrox NRG to your network via the LAN connector.

up to 30 seconds and will result in a power cycle for any connected devices.
