Operating Notes

• You should have a managed gigabit switch with 8K (or greater) jumbo-frame capability.

• The Matrix Controller has been tested with both Cisco and NetGear switches. However, performance and results may vary between depending upon the switch that is used and your network.

• The “discovery” feature, used by the Matrix Controller, relies on a proprietary network

broadcast protocol that is used for identication of Gefen KVM over IP products.

Broadcast packets and access using ports 53334 and 53335 is required for this feature to work.

• The Gefen Video-over-IP product line is compatible with a wide variety of data switches:

► For simple installations, the Netgear GS724T / GS748T / GS748TPS (PoE

version) are low-cost 24-port or 48-port Gigabit Smart Switches that meet all necessary requirements. They have two SFP ports that can be equipped with ber SFP modules for greater distances.

► For cascaded or extended switch architecture, more than 1 Gigabit bandwidth

may be required between switches. For these situations, the Netgear PROSAFE

GS728TXS Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch offers four 10-Gigabit SFP uplink

ports for expanded bandwidth between switches.

► Other Gigabit managed switches, such as the Cisco Small Business SG300

or SG500X (“X” indicates 10G SFP uplink port) switches may also be used. However, the conguration will be up to the user.

• In order to properly manage the video trafc, both Jumbo Frames and IGMP Snooping must be enabled.

Netgear GS7xxT-series switches:

1. Login to the switch with a Web browser.

2. Go to the Switching tab and select Ports > Port Conguration.

3. Check the All checkbox, and set Maximum Frame Size to 9216.

4. Click Apply to save the settings.

The Matrix Controller is designed to manage and control the Gefen family of Video and KVM over IP products in a virtual matrix environment. The Matrix Controller provides two

methods of network control:

► Combined mode

This mode is used when the Matrix Controller is connected to the same switch

Getting Started

1. Connect a shielded CAT-5e (or better) cable from each of the Gefen KVM over IP units

as the KVM over IP products. This is the default setting.

When using combined mode, network performance will be degraded because of the large amount of bandwidth required to support video signals on the same switch. To solve this issue, separate mode can be used. To use separate mode,

an independent managed switch must be installed to support the Gefen KVM over IP products. See Separate Mode (page 13) for more information.

► Separate mode

This mode is used when the KVM over IP products are connected to a separate (dedicated) managed switch.

consecutive IP addresses that can be applied to the Gefen KVM over IP products (e.g. 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150).

► The range should be large enough to include all of the devices that will eventually

be added to the network, with room for possible expansion.

► The IP addresses should be outside of the assigned DHCP range assigned by

the network router.

► The IP addresses should not be assigned to any existing devices in this range

(including devices such as laptop computers that may currently be disconnected, but which have previously been assigned addresses in this range.

In order to introduce a level of organization to how end-users interact with Matrix Controller, it is important to understand the concepts of groups, users, and members. Let’s rst dene each of these terms:

► A group is a collection of both members and inputs/outputs. Groups are created under

the Groups tab in the Web interface. See Creating Groups (page 31).

Basic OperationBasic Operation

► A user is a name identier that is created and assigned an administrator or operator

access level. We’ll discuss access level in the next section. Users are created under

the Users tab in the Web interface. See Creating Users (page 26).

► A member is a user that has been assigned to a group. It is important to make

the distinction between a user and a member. Members are managed under the

Groups > Members tab in the Web interface. See Adding Members (page 40).

Now that we have dened each term, let’s put them together in an illustration.

In the diagram, below, we have created two groups: Sales and Accounting. Each group contains three members. The small rectangles within each group represent an arbitrary number of inputs and outputs that are assigned to the group.

It should be noted that users only have routing access to the group (or groups) to which there are assigned. Let’s look at an example

Accounting

The user “berenice” is currently assigned to Sales and she will only be able to access the set of inputs and outputs that are within the Sales group. She cannot access the inputs and outputs in the Accounting group because she is not a member of that group.

Basic OperationBasic Operation

Now, let’s add “berenice” to the Accounting group. When logging in to the Web interface, Berenice will now be able to access the inputs and outputs under both the Sales group and the Accounting group.

Users

Creating Users

The Matrix Controller includes two users: admin and front panel. Each user can have one of the following access levels: Administrator or Operator. By default, both admin and front panel users have administrator access. Administrator access allows all options, within the Web interface, to be viewed and/or changed by a user. Operator access restricts

Basic OperationBasic Operation

a user to routing inputs and outputs.

1. Click the Users tab.

2. Click the Add User button.

page | 26

3. The Add User dialog will be displayed.

d. Type the name of the user in the Name eld.

e. Enter a description for the user in the Description eld.

Users

Basic OperationBasic Operation

f. Click on the Access Level drop-down list to select the access for the user.

Administrator access allows all options to be viewed and changed. Operator access restricts users to routing operations and prohibits access to system settings.

g. Create a password for the user. The password will be masked.

h. Click the Add button.

4. Repeat Steps 2 - 3 for each user that is created.

Although you may create any user ID you wish, it is not recommended to create a user called “operator” or “administrator” as this can be confused with the access level of the user.

Important

If the user “front panel” is set to Operator access level, then the menu system cannot be accessed through the front panel.

Groups

Creating Groups

A group contains both a set of units (inputs and outputs) for routing and one or more users. Once a group is created, we can add the units and the users that will be able to access

them. An unlimited number of groups can be created. See Groups, Users, and Members

(page 24) for more information on groups.

Basic Operation

1. Click the Groups tab.

2. Under the Input/Output tab, click the Add new group button.

3. The Add new group dialog box will be displayed.

Adding Inputs and Outputs

Before we can route an input to one or more outputs, we must rst dene which inputs and outputs are available within the group. We do this by adding inputs and outputs to the Associated Inputs and Associated Outputs list.

Basic Operation

1. Click the Groups tab.

2. Click the Inputs/Outputs tab.

3. Click on the desired group.

4. Select the desired inputs, under the Available Inputs list. All available input devices, detected by the Matrix Controller, will be listed under the Available Inputs list.

Groups

page | 37

Removing Inputs and Outputs

Removing inputs and/or outputs is the opposite of adding them. Removing an input or output moves it to the Available Inputs or Available Outputs list, respectively, making it unavailable for routing.

Basic Operation

1. Click the Groups tab.

2. Click the Inputs/Outputs tab.

3. Click on the desired group.

4. Start with either the Associated Inputs or Associated Outputs list. The process for removing inputs or outputs is the same. In this example, we will remove two inputs.

5. Select the desired input(s).

Groups

6. Click the arrow icon, pointing to the left.

page | 38

7. The selected inputs, under the Associated Inputs list will be moved under the Available Inputs list.

Basic Operation

Now, when routing inputs to outputs (under the Main tab), this particular group will have four inputs instead of six.

Groups

8. an input or output does not “delete” the device from the system.

Adding Members

Next, we need to add users to each group that we created. When a user is added to a group, the user is referred to as a member.

1. Click the Groups tab.

Basic Operation

2. Click the Members tab.

3. Click on the desired group.

Groups

4. Select the desired user(s) for the group.

page | 40

See Routing (page 44) for more information on the Main tab.

Basic Operation

5. Click the arrow icon, pointing to the right, to move the selected user(s) under the Members list. Users can belong to multiple groups.

Groups

6. The selected users (admin, front panel, john, and kayla) are now members of this group.

page | 41

Removing Members

As with removing inputs and/or outputs, removing a member from a group does not delete the member. Removing a member from a group simply prevents that user from accessing the group. To permanently delete a member / user, see Deleting Users (page 28).

Basic Operation

1. Click the Groups tab.

2. Click the Members tab.

3. Click on the desired group.

4. Click the desired user under the Members list. In this example, we will select John.

Using Presets

The Matrix Controller provides two types of presets: User and Group. When a user preset is created, it will only be available to the user for which it was created. When a group preset is created, it will be available to all users. In the examples, below, we will illustrate the creation of both a user preset and a group preset.

Basic Operation

1. Click the Main tab.

2. Click the desired group button.

3. Near the bottom of the screen, click the +Add button, next to Presets - User.

5. Enter the name of the preset in the Name eld. This is required.

6. Click the drop-down list, under the Inputs column.

7. The drop-down list will display all available inputs. The Outputs column will list all available outputs.

Basic Operation

In this example, for simplicity, we only have one Sender unit and Receiver unit.

8. Select the desired input from the drop-down list, for each output that is listed.

For demonstration purposes, our group only contains one input and one output.

The input(s) and output(s) that are displayed in this dialog box will be determined by

the devices which have been assigned to the Associated Inputs and Associated Outputs column under the Group menu.

When creating user presets, only one input can be selected for each output that is listed. Only inputs can be selected. Outputs cannot be selected when creating a preset. If you wish to change the availability of an output, under the Outputs column, go the Groups menu and change the list of Associated Outputs, as desired.

Basic Operation

10. In the example, below, we’ve created both a user preset and a group preset.

See Creating User Presets (page 47) for more information on User Presets.

Note that when creating presets, that a prex number is automatically assigned to the

preset. The next number in sequence will depend upon how many presets currently exist.

In this example, since a user preset was created rst, it is assigned the number “1”. The second preset was a group preset and was assigned the number “2”. The next preset that is created, either a user preset or group preset, will be assigned the number “3”.
