NOTES
For advice on choosing IP Addresses, see Appendix A on page 126.
For normal applications only Network Port 1 settings need to be configured.
Option 1 and 11 are toggle action. For example, to switch between static and dchp modes
simply type 1 <enter>. The currently selected mode is the option listed first. When DHCP
mode is selected, options 2, 3, 4 & 5 (or 12, 13 & 14) will not be displayed.
Remember that one (and only one) VN-MATRIX must be configured as a controller (see
below). The controller IP (option 8) must be set to the IP Address of the unit designated as
the controller.
Gateway (option 4) is generally only required if devices are on different subnets.
To configure VN-MATRIX as a controller…
Ensure the boot method for Network Port 1 is set to static (option 1).
Set the IP Address (option 2) and controller IP (option 8) to the same value.
To implement the new settings…
Once you have made completed any changes, type 9 <enter> to exit the menu.
The VN-MATRIX will now reboot automatically to implement the new settings.
If the unit does not reboot for any reason, or you want to perform a manual reboot, type reboot
<enter> at the command prompt (or cycle the power off and on) to reboot the unit and implement
the new settings.
VN-MATRIX is now ready for connection to the network.
