Operation
Once all VN-Matrix 200 devices have been correctly set up, any further system configuration and operation is via the
VN-Matrix 200 network interface. Built-in HTML pages provide access to various system parameters. The VN-Matrix 200
device that you designated as the controller in the "Before you Connect to a Network" procedure functions as the network
server. The HTML pages can be viewed by any web browser, such as Mozilla
Microsoft® Internet Explorer
NOTE: Whichever browser you use, it must be configured to accept cookies and be Javascript-enabled.

As shipped from the factory, the password for both accounts is the same as the user name (the password is
"admin" for the admin user account and "public" for the public account).
• The username and password are case sensitive.
• For the intial setup, use the admin username.
