Single Network Connection

The VN-Matrix 300 may be configured to run on a single physical network port (1 or 2). In

over a single physical link.
The VN-Matrix 300 may be used over both switched (single segment) and routed
(multi-segment) networks.

Dual Network Connection

If required, both network connections may be used. In this configuration image and ancillary
data is transported on one connection whilst the other network port is used for monitoring
and or management functions.

System Control Data

Any changes made in the interface are sent to the affected VN-Matrix 300 device from the
controller. The control information between the controller and any other VN-Matrix 300 unit
in the system is sent via the network that has been assigned to the controller.
