security for network communications among the matrix servers. To set

this key, click the Set Secret Network Key button. You can enter

anything you want for this password, up to 127 characters in length.

NOTE: If more than one Matrix Server matrix is running on the same

subnet, be sure that each matrix has a different Secret Network

Key. This step ensures that the multicast traffic is targeted only

at the servers with the same Secret Network Key.

admin to configure the matrix. By default, the password for this user is

set to admin. If you want to change the password, click the Change

Administrator Password button.

The password can be up to 32 characters long with no white space.

The allowable characters are ASCII 33–122.
