The baud rate can be freely selected, and the baud rate of the connected device (such as the matrix) should be identical to the value. It’s recommended to select the baud rate 115.2kbps, which will effectively prevent network delay. (2) Connect the server serial port to the matrix serial port. Connect the matrix video output to a certain video input of the server. If the channel has been set as channel to control the matrix, users should select the channel on network preview window. The matrix will switch the video subject to the command from the server. The network preview will show image switched by the matrix. (3) Click the video window to show a green frame. The system will switch video from the matrix. (4) Since the pin definitions of the DVR serial port and the matrix serial port are different, users must use a junction box to connect the DVR and the matrix serial cable.

Appendix Troubleshooting 1. If no monitoring image appears, there are two possible reasons for this: (1). The IP address does not match the channel, or wrong user name and password are used. Check "Local Setting" to figure out. (2) There is a network access failure. Check the problem with PING command of the operation system. 3. If mosaic appears on the monitoring images, check the CPU use rate of the system and the network bandwidth. If the average value is over 60%, that means you have opened too many channels, which is beyond the capability of the CPU. 4. If image jitter occurs on the monitoring screen, check the network bandwidth. 2. If dark screen appears on the monitoring images, check whether the video signal of the video server is normal or not. 33 Infinova 51 Stouts Lane, Monmouth Junction, NJ 08852, U.S.A.
