7. Using the Built-In Web Interface The RM42C Matrix has a built-in web interface to provide a means of controlling or configuring various settings. There are seven pages available, each of which will be outlined in detail in the following sections. The seven pages are: 1. Status – Displays information about the firmware and IP settings 2. Switch – Control the video routing and enabling the test pattern mode 3. Input – Displays information about the input signals and EDID settings 4.
■ Status Page The Status page provides basic information about the product Model name, the installed firmware versions and the network settings. This page is visible in both User and Admin modes. The buttons at the top right of the web interface are always available and provide the following functions: ● The Log out button will disconnect the current user from the session and display the log in screen. ● The Power On button changes the power status of the Matrix between On and Stand-by mode.
■ Input page The Input page provide information about which inputs are connected and have a signal present. The inputs can be giving more meaningful names, if desired. The EDID column provides a list of EDID options for each individual input. The following EDID options are available in any of the EDID drop-down lists: 1080P, Stereo Audio 2.0 1080P, Dolby/DTS 5.1 1080P, HD Audio 7.1 1080I, Stereo Audio 2.0 1080I, Dolby/DTS 5.1 1080I, HD Audio 7.1 3D, Stereo Audio 2.0 3D, Dolby/DTS 5.1 3D, HD Audio 7.
Copy from OUT 1 Copy from OUT 2 Note that the User 1 and User 2 are global EDID memories only. Any inputs that is set to one of these memories will always use the same EDID data from User 1 or User 2 respectively. This page also provides a means of sending a binary EDID image file to either User 1 or User 2 EDID memories: 1. Select the binary EDID image file on your PC by click on the Browse button. 2. Select either User 1 or User 2 from the drop-down list. 3. Click the Upload button.
■ Network page The Network page allows the configuration of the network settings. Note that the IP address boxes are only accessible when the Mode button is set to Static. The log in passwords can be changed on this page. Note that any changes to this page will require the new details into the web browser and/or the log in screen. ■ System page The system page allows setting of the control RS232 port baud rate and changing the test pattern output.
■ Control page The Control page is used to set the RS232 or IR display device power on/off commands for the Automatic Power Switching mode. When this mode is enabled, the display power off and power on commands will be sent from RS232-A/RS232-B or IR-A/IR-B outputs after the defined Power Off Timeout and Power On Timeout values respectively. The Control page has three modes: RS232, CEC or IR. Power On and Power Off commands can only be entered for the RS232 and IR modes.
▪ IR Setting 1 and IR Setting 2 This page requires that the IR commands are available in plain text files using the CCF IR code format. 1. Select the desired IR Control Setting tab. 2. Click the Load button to load the respective IR command. If the display device only support a power toggle IR command, then use the same file for both the Power On and Power Off modes. 3. Use the Test button to confirm that the command functions. 4. Click the Save button to save both IR commands to the Matrix. 8.
Important: 1. All messages sent to the Matrix must be terminated with an exclamation mark (!). Any carriage return that is present after the end of the command will be ignored. 2. All spaces shown in the commands are required. 3. All response messages are terminated by a CR/LF sequence. 4. When all four inputs are requested by the same command, the response will report each input on a separate line. 5.
