Changing the operation mode of your
devices
If you change the operation mode of your Extio 3 configuration (for example, change from
Networked-LAN or Networked-Internet / WAN with Site-to-Site VPN mode to Point-to-Point mode,
or vice versa, or from Networked-LAN or Networked-Internet / WAN with Site-to-Site VPN mode to
Networked-Internet with IPSec VPN mode, or vice versa), you need to do the following:
1 Disconnect the network cables from your Matrox transmitter device and receiver device
(see “Connecting your Extio 3 devices”, page 31).
2 Perform a configuration reset on your transmitter device and receiver device (see
“Hardware reboot or configuration reset”, page 83).
3 Change the connection setup of your devices (see “Connecting your Extio 3 devices”,
page 31).
4 Reboot both your Matrox transmitter device and receiver devices (see “Rebooting or
resetting your Extio 3 device”, page 82).
5 Configure your Extio 3 devices again:
 Networked mode – Use Extio Central Manager software to configure your devices.
For more information, see your Matrox Extio Central Manager user guide.
 Point-to-Point mode – Use the OSD to configure your devices (see “Setting up
Point-to-Point mode”, page 54).
Changing from copper to fiber optic

(see “Connecting your Extio 3 devices”, page 31).
2 Perform a configuration reset on your transmitter device and receiver device (see
“Hardware reboot or configuration reset”, page 83).
3 Switch the power off.
