Software Operational Considerations and Installation
Software Operation via Ethernet
When the switcher is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN (see figure2 on page11
and LAN port [non-IPCP model] (
Q
) or IPCP Pro 350 processor [IPCP models] (
R
) both
on page15), 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, 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.
NOTE: The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set
to the device serial number. Passwords are case sensitive. If the device is reset, the
password will be the original password configuration.
Software Operation via a USB Port
The front panel Configuration port (see figure16 on page21) 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.
