    INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the 32x32 Modular Matrix. Your complete satisfaction is very important to us. GefenPRO In the realm of video distribution, certain features are invaluable in a commercial or broadcast environment. Accommodations such as a build-in power supply and flat black rack-mount enclosures set GefenPRO apart from our traditional products. Complex distribution units allow for professional DVI, 3G-SDI, and HDMI signals to be routed and converted easily and seamlessly, while being backed up by a renowned and dependable technical support team. Gefen invites you to explore the GefenPRO product line and hopes that you find the solution that fits your needs. The Gefen 32x32 Modular Matrix The GefenPRO 32x32 Modular Matrix provides an all-in-one professional-grade solution to route up to 32 DVI sources to any 32 DVI displays with resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. The modular design of this matrix provides the ultimate in flexibility by allowing the use of any combination of DVI, ELR, or 1FO output modules in any of its four output slots. This feature allows the GefenPRO 32x32 Modular Matrix to function as both a Matrix and as an Extender. The front-panel LCD displays the current routing status and each DVI source is accessible to any display by using the front-panel push buttons, via the RS-232 interface, or through IP Control (built-in Web server and Telnet). Hot-swappable dual redundant power supplies allow these matrixes to be used for applications in demanding applications where enhanced reliability, ease of servicing and zero down-time are required. How It Works Connect up to 32 DVI source devices using DVI cables to the inputs on the GefenPRO Modular Matrix. Connect up to 32 displays via DVI, CAT-5, or Fiber Optic cables depending on which output modules are utilized. Connect an Ethernet cable from the network to the RJ-45 connector to use the built-in Web server or Telnet capability to control routing, EDID, and other functions. Connect an RS-232 cable from a RS-232 control device to control the matrix via RS-232. Connect the IEC connectors of the included AC power cords to the matrix and plug the power cords into available electrical outlets. The DVI sources will be routed as selected.

  • Page 44: Configuring The Ip Address

    RS-232 / IP / UDP CONTROL IP Configuration The 32x32 Modular Matrix supports IP-based control using Telnet, UDP, or the built-in Web-based GUI. To set up IP control, the network settings for the 32x32 Modular Matrix must be configured via RS-232. The default network settings for the matrix are as follows: IP Address: 192.168.1.72 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.254 HTTP Port: Telnet Port: Connect an RS-232 cable from the PC to the 32x32 Modular Matrix. Also make sure that an Ethernet cable is connected between the matrix and the network. Launch a terminal emulation program (e.g. HyperTerminal) and use the RS-232 settings listed on page 37. NOTE: Depending upon the network, all related IP, Telnet, and UDP settings will need to be assigned. Consult your network administrator to obtain the proper settings. Set the IP address for the matrix using the #sipadd command (see page 55 for details). Set the subnet mask using the #snetmask command (see page 55 for details). Set the gateway (router) IP address using the #sgateway command (see page 53 for details). Set the Telnet listening port using the #set_tcp_term_port command (see page 51 for details). Set the HTTP listening port using the #set_http_port command (see page 50 for details).

  • Page 101: Appendix

    APPENDIX Card Removal and Installation Although each 32x32 Modular Matrix is sold pre-configured, both input and output cards can be removed or added to fit the needs of the application. Each module can easily be removed and installed without using any special tools. IMPORTANT: Modules are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) which can damage the module. Avoid touching the module contacts or the components on the module. Always hold modules by the edges or by the knobs on the front of the module. Never slide a module over any surface. When installing/replacing modules, do not install an input module in to an output slot (or vice versa). This will damage the matrix and void the warranty. Power-off the matrix. Turn the matrix around so that you are facing the back of the unit. STOP: Before installing modules and prevent the risk of possible electrical shock, unplug the AC power cord from back of the matrix. Loosen the fastening screws on both sides of the card (or cover plate) to be removed. Each card / cover plate has two fastening screws. Pull knob Fastening screw...

    RACK MOUNT SAFETY INFORMATION Maximum recommended ambient temperature: 45 ˚C (104 ˚F). Increase the air flow as needed to maintain the recommended temperature inside the rack. Do not exceed maximum weight loads for the rack. Install heavier equipment in the lower part of the rack to maintain stability. Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Connect a bonding wire between an approved safety ground and the grounding screw on the chassis.
