Matrox Monarch HDX - Accessing the Command Center

19
Accessing the Command Center
$ Connect an Ethernet cable from Monarch HDX’s LAN port directly to
your computer’s Ethernet port.
$ Connect an Ethernet cable from Monarch HDX’s LAN port to the same
network switch as your computer.
4 In order for your computer to communicate with Monarch HDX, your
computer’s IP address must be in the same network range as your Monarch
HDX’s IP address. If it isn’t, then you must change your computer’s IP
address accordingly. By default, the Monarch HDX 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 HDX using a point-to-point connection (direct connection
between your computer and Monarch HDX). The default IP address is not
recommended for a traditional network setting. If you wish to use Monarch
HDX in Static IP mode over a network, after the initial setup we recommend
that you change the static IP address of the Monarch HDX 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 39.
5 Open the Command Center (see “Accessing the Command Center” on
page 19).
¦NoteFor more details on Monarch HDX IP modes, see “IP Setup tab” on
page 39.
Accessing the Command Center
The Monarch HDX Command Center is where you specify the Monarch HDX
settings and control the streaming and recording for a single Monarch HDX
device or multiple devices on the same network. The Command Center is
accessible via the Monarch HDX Utils (see “Monarch HDX Utils application” on
page 16) or by typing your Monarch HDX’s network IP address in the address
field of your web browser (see “Network connection and IP address” on
page 16).

Ethernet network, and then do one of the following:
• From your web browser, type the Monarch HDX IP address in the address
field, and then press
ENTER.
