Discovery Tool - Pulse-Eight neo 4*4 Video Matrix Product User Manual

ACCESSING THE MATRIX WITHOUT AN
INTERNET CONNECTION
While the neo video matrix works best with an active internet connection it is possible to still configure and operate the
system without one. However to configure the system from its defaults a local network connection is required. Normal
operation of the CEC and IR control systems does not require any network connection, but IP based API control or Web
based controlled does require a persistent network connection.
DISCOVERY TOOL
You can download a discovery tool from your monitoring portal at http://monitoring.pulse-eight.com/ this program will
run on Windows 7 or newer only, when run it will scan your network and detect the IP address of your matrix. If you
have multiple neo systems on the same network, the discovery tool will only display the last found. If you do have more
than one system, it is advised that you disconnect other systems first.
The discovery tool will display the IP address of the matrix, you can then access the matrix by typing that IP address
into your web browsers address bar.
Note: It is recommended in this mode that you configure the networking to use a static IP address, this allows for you to
bookmark the page easily and return to the web interface easily without needing to run the discovery tool again.
