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 
JavaScript-enabled. For further help on configuring your browser, refer to 
Appendix C (page 133 onwards).
