The Matrix Controller is designed to manage and control the Gefen family of Video and
KVM over IP products in a virtual matrix environment. The Matrix Controller provides two
methods of network control: Combined Mode and Separate Mode.
This is the default mode and is used when the Matrix Controller is connected to the same
switch as the KVM over IP products, degraded because of the large amount of bandwidth
required to support video signals on the same switch. To solve this issue, Separate Mode
can be used. To use Separate Mode, an independent managed switch must be installed
to support the Gefen KVM over IP products. See Separate Mode (next page) for more
information.
1.
Connect a shielded CAT-5E (or better) cable from each of the Gefen Video and KVM
over IP units to a managed switch.
2.
Connect the included power supply to the 5V DC power receptacle on the rear
panel of the AVoIP Matrix Controller.
3.
Connect the power cord to an available electrical outlet.
4.
Connect a computer to the same network as the AVoIP Matrix Controller.
5.
Set the computer's IP address to 192.168.1.xxx, where xxx is a value between 1
and 254 or utilize Gefen Syner-G Software to discover the device and configure the
controller to the IP range of computer.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the IP address 192.168.1.72 which is
the default IP of the AVoIP Matrix Controller. If the current network
configuration is already within this range, make sure that the IP
address 192.168.1.72 is not assigned to another device in order to
avoid conflicts.
6.
Open a Web browser and enter the following address: 192.168.1.74 or use the
default mDNS address: avip-mc.local/
NOTE: the mDNS address is configurable. See
for details.
7.
Access the System page and click on Login button.
