DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Matrix Software 86
Software Operational Considerations and Installation
Software Operation via Ethernet
When the switcher is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN (see item
Q
[non-IPCP
model] or item
R
[IPCP models], both on page 17), up to 200 users can be connected to
locally or remotely operate it, using the DSP Configurator or Product Configuration Software.
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password protected. There are two
levels of password protection:
• Administrators have full access to all matrix switching capabilities and editing functions.
• Users can select inputs and outputs, save and recall presets, and view all settings with
the exception of passwords.
If the same password or no password is required for logging on, all personnel log on with
administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed user privileges are not available in
the Product Configuration Software when the operator is logged on as a user.
Software Operation via a USB Port
The front panel Configuration port (see item
A
on page 24) and a standard USB cable,
can be used for remote control of the switcher using the DSP Configurator or Product
Configuration Software. The standard USB cable must be terminated on one end with a
USB mini-B male connector and on the other end with a USB A connector.
Installing the Software
The PCS, version 3.5 or newer, and DSP Configurator, version 2.12 or newer, are available
