Matrox Monarch HDX - 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 HDX Utils to find the IP address of your Monarch HDX device.
1 Connect an Ethernet cable between Monarch HDX’s LAN port and a
network port.
2 Make sure that power is supplied to Monarch HDX (see “Powering Monarch
HDX” on page 11).
3 Monarch HDX 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 39).
4 From a computer that is on the same network subnet as your Monarch HDX
device, download the Matrox Monarch HDX Utils at
www.matrox.com/video/support/. The Matrox Monarch HDX Utils is
available for both Mac OS and Windows systems (see “Monarch HDX Utils
application” on page 16.
5 Double-click the downloaded file to open the Monarch HDX 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 HDX devices, you may want to change the
name of each device for easier identification (see “Account tab” on page 38).
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 HDX device. In this case, you must assign
a static IP address to Monarch HDX and you may be required to change your
computer’s network configuration to establish a connection between your
computer and Monarch HDX.
1 Power Monarch HDX (see “Powering Monarch HDX” on page 11).
2 Monarch HDX must be set to Static IP mode. By default, Monarch HDX is
set to DHCP IP mode. You can switch Monarch HDX to Static IP mode
using the Reset button (see “Switch to Static IP mode” on page 13).
3 Establish a connection between Monarch HDX and your computer using one
of the following methods:
