Matrox Monarch HD - Accessing the Command Center

19
Accessing the Command Center
$ Connect an Ethernet cable from Monarch HD’s LAN port directly to your
computer’s Ethernet port.
$ Connect an Ethernet cable from Monarch HD’s LAN port to the same
network switch as your computer.
4 In order for your computer to communicate with Monarch HD, your
computer’s IP address must be in the same network range as your Monarch
HD’s IP address. If it isn’t, then you must change your computer’s IP address
accordingly. By default, the Monarch HD static IP address is set to
169.254.1.11. If you’re using the default static IP address, you must change
your computer’s IP address and subnet mask to the following:
$ IP address 169.254.1.10
$ Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
¦NoteThe default static IP address is designed primarily for the initial setup
of Monarch HD using a point-to-point connection (direct connection between
your computer and Monarch HD). The default IP address is not recommended
for a traditional network setting. If you wish to use Monarch HD in Static IP
mode over a network, after the initial setup we recommend that you change
the static IP address of the Monarch HD device to an address that is more
suitable to your network. You can change the static IP address in the Command
Center as specified in “IP Setup tab” on page 58.
5 Open the Command Center (see “Accessing the Command Center” on
page 19).
¦NoteFor more details on Monarch HD IP modes, see “IP Setup tab” on
page 58.
