500811 ProDigital Network Controller
Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The MuxLab ProDigital Network Controller (500811) is a Linux-based PC that allows users to
control hub-installed MuxLab products via an Ethernet Web interface.
When installed on a local area network (LAN), the MuxLab Network Controller will scan the LAN
for connected MuxLab products allowing the user to configure and control these products through
an Ethernet Web interface.
Applications
Application is for control of the MuxLab video over IP product line. The controller can be used to
implement a virtual matrix over IP.
Installation
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the controller to the Ethernet switch and then apply power to the
unit (the Ethernet port should be connected before applying power). The unit will auto-start,
there is no need to press the power button.
2. During the power-up sequence the LED will initially transition from red to blue and requires
approximately an additional 60 seconds for the unit to complete this cycle.
3. With the use of a computer and a browser, connect to the controller web page.
The default IP address is: 192.168.168.50
The computer will need to be on the same local IP network.
If the unit is configured in DHCP mode, then the IP address will be assigned by the
DHCP/network server. Check with an IT administrator for available IP addresses.
4. The next and final step is to setup and configure the ProDigital Network Controller via the
controller web interface. In order to accomplish this, navigate to the MuxLab web site (at
www.muxlab.com) and download the 500811 ProDigital Network Controller product
manual. The manual will provide the necessary instructions to complete the remaining
system setup and configuration.
