Matrox Monarch HD - Connecting to a Network Without a DHCP Server (Static IP Mode)

18
Chapter 3, Network Connection and Setup
from a DHCP-server client list, these instructions detail how to use the Matrox
Monarch HD Utils to find the IP address of your Monarch HD device.
1 Connect an Ethernet cable between Monarch HD’s LAN port and a network
port.
2 Make sure that power is supplied to Monarch HD (see “Powering Monarch
HD” on page 9).
3 Monarch HD must be set to DHCP IP mode (default). If you need to switch
the device from Static IP mode to DHCP IP mode, you can either reset the
device to factory defaults (see “Reset to factory defaults” on page 13), or set
it to DHCP using the Command Center (see “IP Setup tab” on page 58).
4 From a computer that is on the same network subnet as your Monarch HD
device, download the Matrox Monarch HD Utils at
www.matrox.com/video/support/. The Matrox Monarch HD Utils is
available for both Mac OS and Windows systems ().
5 Double-click the downloaded file to open the Monarch HD Utils. If
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is enabled on your network, the utility will
automatically scan for Monarch devices. To scan manually, click the
Find
All
button.
All the Monarchs on the same network subnet as your computer will be
displayed, along with their IP addresses and other information.
6 Open the Command Center (see “Accessing the Command Center” on
page 19).
¥Tip If you have multiple Monarch HD devices, you may want to change the
name of each device for easier identification (see “Account tab” on page 55).
Connecting to a network without a DHCP server
(Static IP mode)
When connecting to a network without a DHCP server, the network does not
assign an IP address to your Monarch HD device. In this case, you must assign a
static IP address to Monarch HD and you may be required to change your
computer’s network configuration to establish a connection between your
computer and Monarch HD.
1 Power Monarch HD (see “Powering Monarch HD” on page 9).
2 Monarch HD must be set to Static IP mode. By default, Monarch HD is set
to DHCP IP mode. You can switch Monarch HD to Static IP mode using the
Reset button (see “Switch to Static IP mode” on page 12).
3 Establish a connection between Monarch HD and your computer using one
of the following methods:
