screen with line, you can control the matrix.
Details can be found in CR-MCP100 matrix
keyboard user’s manual.

2.4.8 Matrix Network Interface

2.4.8.1 Hardware Connection

Matrix connects to Ethernet adapter hardware in
two ways:

1) Cross-connection
Matrix directly connects to control computers via
CAT-5 crossover cable.

2)Direct connection method
Matrix connects to an Ethernet switcher or hub

via CAT-5 straight-through cable.

2.4.8.2 Connection Description of RJ45

Network Port Direct Line and Cross-line:

The system adopts the CAT-5 (super 5 cable) as
the wire. Install RJ45 connector (commonly
known as crystal head) at both ends of the CAT-5
to connect network devices. The standard
connection of twisted pair cable is not
predetermined. The purpose is to ensure the
symmetry of the layout of cable splice, so you can
make the interference between the joint inner
cables cancel each other. General UTP line has
four pairs of twisted thin line, and marked with
different colors.
Twisted pair line has two configurations: EIA / TIA
568B standard and EIA / TIA 568A
standard.

3.3.2 Software Startup

Turn off the matrix and computer power. The
matrix RS-232 interface and the computer's
RS-232 communication port are connected with a
randomly distributed communication line;
Power on matrix and computer; run the Matrix Net
Tool Setup.exe of randomly distributed CD-ROM
on the control computer, after installation, you can
enter the control software interface.

3.3.3 Open Program

The "Start” on the left bottom of windows →
Programs → Matrix Net Tool → the Matrix Net
Tool to enter the main program screen.

3.3.4 The Main Interface

The main interface of "Matrix Net Tool" is shown
in Figure 2-1.
Right-click an empty space in the main interface,
then pop-up
"Set Com Port" window, shown in Figure 2-2, you
can choose different computers COM ports to
communicate with matrix.
Can set network port, IP address, subnet mask,
gateway and MAC address of matrix through the
main interface.
"Current Settings" reads the current network port
parameters of the matrix; “Default Settings "to
restore the matrix network port parameters to the
factory defaults. The factory default value is as
follows:
Port number: 5000
IP address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

3.4 Remote Control Description

3.4.1 Functionality

Realize remote control in the Ethernet
environment, namely, remote client control local
matrix device via the Internet.

Local matrix devices and remote clients in

the following description will be respectively
represented by server and client.

3.4.2 System components

1. Controlled device (matrix controller)

2. Network switcher or router

3. Internet accessible PC

4. Straight-through cable

These system components merely refer to

system installation equipment needed by server
(matrix controller), the client simply need a
computer which can access the Internet.

System Connection is simple. Connect interface
one-to-one, as shown in the following diagram:

Figure 2-3

3.4.4 Instructions

The following instructions will choose "TP-link"
router as an example to illustrate, as follows:

3.4.4.1 Mapping Setup

A. After connecting system, open the IE browser,
enter the IP address of TP-link and enter into the
TP-link setup page. If the access is
password-protected, enter the default user name:
admin, password admin to enter.
For the first time into the TP-link setup interface, it
default display the status of the TP-link
information, see Figure 2-4 below.
Remote control system, TP-link routers only do
port mapping settings, i.e. forwarding rules
(common routers have this feature).

Figure 2-4

B. Select “forwarding rules "option on the left
column of TP-link setting page, click on the"
virtual server”, and enter mapping settings page,
as shown in Figure 2-5, this set operated as
follows:
Click adding a new entry→fill the service port
number, IP address, protocol, state→ save and
exit, the setup is complete.
Service port number is the port number of the
controlled device (matrix controller); IP address is
the IP address of the controlled device (matrix
controller);
Agreement can choose ALL or TCP protocol;
state effective.

3.4.4.2 Remote Bind Controlled Device

Settings

Before you can make the remote bind to the
matrix controller, first you should know IP of
public network connected by the matrix controller,.
Only then, can you start setting. Set as follows:
The client PC run TCP / UDP debugging software,
create a TCP Client connection, fill in the IP
address (i.e. the IP of public network connected
by the matrix controller,), port number (i.e. the
port number of matrix controller). After the
successful setting, you can realize remote control
of the matrix.

1.RS-232 and IR panel operation are forward (forward: input connect RS-232 or IR sender, output
connect RS-232 or IR receiver);

2.RS-232 and IR reverse switch to toggle through the machine's serial instruction (reverse: input
connected to RS-232 or IR receiver, output connected to the RS-232 or infrared sender) please View
serial instructions for serial switcher instruction.

3.NO matter forward or reverse switch of infrared and serial signal, one way can be switched to another
or more ways, multiple ways cannot be switched at the same time to one way.
