settings for initial communications. The Ethernet port on the Matrix Router is shipped with a default IP
address, located on the door sticker inside of the enclosure. For you to be able to communicate, you must
set the IP address and subnet mask on your computer so they are compatible with the default settings on
the Matrix Router.

1. Open Control Panel by selecting Start>Control Panel. If you are working in Classic Mode, click on
Start, then point to Settings, then click on Control Panel.
