trans ission of RS-232 co ands.
3. ALL IR OU :
Connect to the IR blaster for IR signal trans ission to the source side.
Place the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equip ent to be controlled
for it will blaster out all signal received fro the IR IN at the receiver sides.
4. ALL IR IN:
Connect to the IR extender for IR signal reception. Ensure that re ote
being used is within the direct line-of-sight of the IR extender for it will send
out the signal to all receiver's IR OUT.
5. SERVICE:
Manufacturer use only.
6. IR OU 1~8:
Connect to the IR blasters for IR signal trans ission.
Place the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equip ent to be controlled
for it will blaster out the IR signal received fro the receiver side chosen by
input selection.
7. IR IN 1~8:
Connect to the IR extenders for IR signal reception. Ensure that re ote
being used is within the direct line-of-sight of the IR extender for it will send
out the IR signal to the selected receiver's IR OUT.
8. CA 5e/6/7 OU 1~8:

Connect fro these CAT outputs to the CAT input port of the receiver units
with a single CAT5e/6/7 cable for HDMI Audio/Video and IR/RS-232 control
signal trans ission.
9.HDMI IN 1~8:
Connect to the HDMI input source devices such as a DVD player or a Set-
top Box with HDMI cable or DVI to HDMI cable.

Any commands will not be executed unless followed by a carriage return.
Commands are case insensitive.
Telnet Control
Before atte pting to use the telnet control, please ensure that both the Matrix
(via the 'LAN port) and the PC/Laptop are connected to the active networks.
To access the telnet control in Windows 7, click on the 'Start' enu and type
"c d" in the Search field then press enter.
Under Windows XP go to the 'Start' enu and click on "Run", type "c d" with
then press enter.
Under Mac OS X, go to Go→Applications→Utilities→Ter inal
See below for reference.

Once in the co and line interface (CLI) type "telnet", the IP address of the unit
you wish to control and "23", then hit enter.
Note:
The IP address of the Matrix can be displayed on the device's LCM monitor by
pressing the Menu button twice/three times.
This will bring us into the device which we wish to control. Type "HELP" to list the
available co ands.
Type “IPCONFIG” To show all IP configurations. To reset the IP, type “RSTIP”
and to use a set static IP, type ”SETIP” (For a full list of co ands, see Telnet
Co ands Section).
Note:
Any commands will not be executed unless followed by a carriage return.
Commands are not case-sensitive. If the IP is changed then the IP Address
required for Telnet access will also change accordingly.

Web GUI Control
On a PC/Laptop that is connected to the sa e active network as the Matrix, open
a web browser and type device's IP address on the web address entry bar. The
browser will display the device's status, control and User setting pages.
Click on the 'Control' tab to control power, input/output ports, EDID and reset
ode.
Clicking on the 'User Setting' tab allows you to reset the IP configuration. The
syste will ask for a reboot of the device every ti e any of the settings are
changed. The IP address needed to access the Web GUI control will also need
to be changed accordingly on the web address entry bar.
