Web-GUI
This matrix can be easily controlled via Web-GUI software. Please ensure the IP address of the matrix is noted. This can be found using the push buttons on the front panel, please refer to the Front Panel description above for this. The static IP address is 192.168.1.100. The Matrix can be connected to a PC with a standard Cat.X cable.
The factory default is set to DHCP, so the Web-GUI can be opened by entering the IP address into any browser. If DHCP is turned off you have to set the control PC to the same IP range as the Matrix. The default logins are:

Username: User, Password: user
Username: Admin, Password: admin.

After the login the Status Page will appear. On the left side you can switch between the different functions.
Status Page:
It provides basic network and general information, like the installed firmware version or MAC-Address.
Video Page:
Here you can select and switch the input for each individual output. It also allows the storage of up to 8 different pre-sets.

Input Page:
Here you can see which inputs are currently active, rename them and set up the EDID from the table below:

Output Page:
Here you can see which output are currently active, rename them, turn on the downscaler to downscale video from 4K to 1080p resolutions, turn on/off the ARC function as well turning on/off the output individually.

CEC Page:
This page emulates a remote control to send CEC inputs like volume or power control directly to each individual input or output.

Network Page:
Here you can switch the IP settings between static and DHCP as well as the Telnet Port. It also allows the change of the passwords and the reset of the network settings.

System Page:
Here you can set various settings like locking the front panel, turning on/off the confirmation sound of the push buttons, shut-down time for the front panel and the Baud Rate for the serial control. This page is also used for firmware updates, factory reset and reboot of the unit.

RS-232 Control
This matrix also supports control over RS-232 using ASCII commands. Firstly, connect the matrix to a PC with a RS-232 to USB cable. Then open a serial command tool to enter all required commands.
