Password is up to 16 characters long, no character exemptions allowing for all symbols, numbers, and characters.

Webpage
Product web page can be accessed by entering the IP address (192.168.0.254) in a browser’s search function. If successful, the user will be presented with the login screen.

Login Screen

The Login screen displayed at access, requests prompts for a password and has the option to save password. After entering the password, you can click the return key or simply press the Login Button to proceed to the next page.
Users can attempt to enter a user ID and password 5 times before the system locks out for 5 minutes (regardless of new access or page refresh) and no password attempts can be entered during that time. The following text will display in red type at the top of the page.
“Incorrect User ID or Password entered too many times. Please wait 5 minutes and try again. If you have forgotten the credentials, please factory reset the device.”

USB Switching Tab

• This tab encompasses the main functionality of the product. The user can direct which upstream port (labelled A, B, C, D) connects to which downstream port (labelled 1,2,3,4). Active connections are with the appropriate color. Inactive connections are either blank or grayed out. It is also enough to use standard radio buttons for this selection.
• Routings corresponds to front faceplate LED color, BLUE for A, AMBER for B, and GREEN for C, RED for D.
• Users can click unselected, buttons to form new connections. If a downstream port is already connected to an upstream port, then the previous connection is broken is favor of the new connection. As an example, if the user selects “A2” then “C2” is unselected, users can click the highlighted active button to break a connection.
• Hosts with no active connection (no USB VBUS detected) will display text “Disconnected”, “N/C” or “Not Connected” but remain functional in the UI; user can change settings regardless of the connectivity state.
• To push changes, press the “Apply” button.

USB Info
There is a status row at the top of the page detailing the device connection status for devices connected to downstream ports 1, 2, 3 and 4. Device status is updated periodically or when the page is refreshed. The status can be any of the following:

USB Auto Switching Tab

Auto Switch Setup

This tab specifies which downstream ports should auto switch to the most recent connection if the setting is enabled. At the top of the tab’s context, a check box is used to enable/disable this feature. Below the check box, buttons are used to select downstream ports which should auto switch. Selected ports are highlighted. To apply changes to the Matrix, press the “Submit” button.

Settings Tab

In the Settings tab, Administrators can:

• Lock out the GUI
  • This disables the functionality of the webpage
• Lock out the hardware “HW Lockout” preventing the Reset/Test button from functioning
• Set the RS232 baud rate
• Configure the network settings
  • Change from Static Network address Acquisition to DHCP
  • Configure the static IP
• IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
• Name the Device and host Ports for tracking purposes.

Clicking “Apply” will push the changes to the Matrix.

Firmware Update
There is an Update Firmware button which allows the administrator to update product firmware. The file for firmware updates is chosen via a separate button and dialog box. The user must confirm to update the firmware after the appropriate file is selected. Once started a new page will load telling the user to wait for the update to complete (two minutes) and then refresh the page.
If the update fails, the user will be notified with a dialog box stating, “Update Failed, Please Try Again.”
If the update succeeds, the user will be notified with a new Dialog Box stating: “Update Successful.”

Security Tab

• The security tab is used to manage the ADMIN and USER account access including changing the current logged in user.
• There is a “Change Password” field for the current user where the user can enter a new password after confirming the previous. A button is then pressed to set the new password.
• Password can be set up to 16 characters long, no character exemptions allowing for all symbols, numbers, and characters.
• There is no security enforcement (e.g. no requirement for minimum number of characters, must have symbols etc.).
