The VN-MATRIX Web Interface
Once all VN-MATRIX devices have been correctly set-up for (and connected to) a network, any
system further configuration is achieved via the VN-MATRIX Web Interface. This comprises a number
of ‘pages’ which provide access to various system parameters.
HINT: This section provides step-by-step instructions for using the Web Interface and is aimed at
new users of the VN-MATRIX system. Advanced users may wish to refer to the Quick
Reference Guide in Section 7, pages 107 to 123.
The Web interface is ‘served up’ by the VN-MATRIX device that was designated as the ‘controller’
during the network set-up procedure (see page 34). It can be viewed by any up-to-date web browser,
running on a PC/laptop that is connected to the same network as the VN-MATRIX devices.
Suitable browsers include (but are not necessarily limited to):
Internet Explorer (v6 and above),
Firefox/Mozilla (v1.3 and above).
Netscape (v6 and above), and
IMPORTANT: Whatever browser is used, it must be configured to accept cookies and be
