As shown in the figure above, the matrix can be controlled via RS232 Serial port or
through an IP (Ethernet) port if equipped.
The IP interface features a built-in web server allowing web browsers running on
different devices (computer, smart-phone, tablet) on the network to control and
monitor matrix through HTTP protocol on port 80. (Section 5 will walk you through this
HTTP based Web Interface).
The IP interface also supports telnet connection over port number 6324 to control and
monitor matrix. (Section 6 describes the telnet-based interface)
The IP interface on every matrix shipped has a unique MAC-address, and must have a
valid IP-address to function properly on your network.
