5.5.2. Multiple simultaneous connections
The matrix allows simultaneous remote control over multiple interfaces. External control
over Ethernet, Serial and USB connections can be used at the same time. Moreover the
Ethernet interface can handle multiple connections on the same TCP/IP port.
The responses to the commands are only sent to the interface on which they were
queried – except responses to crosspoint switch, mute/unmute, lock/unlock and preset
setting commands, which are always sent. This makes it possible to operate more
controllers without disturbing each other but keeping the crosspoint state synchronized. If
different protocols are used, then the responses to crosspoint commands are translated
to the proper form.
Please note that however the matrices can accept multiple connections from LAN, the
incoming sockets are treated as one connection, hence all messages sent by the MX-
CPU2 to the LAN interface are copied to every connected client.
5.5.3. IP settings
The Ethernet port can be configured on the front panel LCD menu or remotely through
Controller software or the built-in website.
The factory default IP settings or DHCP mode can be activated quickly through front
panel shortcut buttons. To reset the IP configuration perform the following:
