Usage

Main View

This page contains the matrix.

General

Here, you can find the following parameters: Q-Link Version, Q-Link Address, Version, Memory, Installed Modules, Disk Usage, Upper/Lower PSU Temperature, Setup, Control State, Matrix Destination, Matrix Destination Status and Lock/Unlock buttons.

Matrix Configuration

On this page, configuration parameters are available: Number of Inputs, Number of Outputs, Number of Levels, Local IP-Address, Remote IP-Address. When changing the Number of Inputs and Number of Outputs parameters, the matrix size is automatically updated. Then, you need to press the Refresh Matrix to immediately poll the matrix crosspoints and inputs/outputs labels.

The Reset Router allows to reset the matrix connections.

Matrix Details

Following tables are displayed:

  • Source Table: contains the labels retrieved for each input and used in the matrix on the Main View page
  • Destination Table: contains the labels retrieved for each output and used in the matrix on the Main View page
  • Level Table: contains the names associated to each matrix level
