Black Box AC1120A User Manual

 

 

 

 

If you are unable to access the unit’s 
port 23 from your PC using the 
matrix’s default or last known IP 
address, it could be that the IP 
address of the matrix is not 
compatible on your LAN. One way 
around this is to connect your PC 
directly to the Matrix’s IP port using a 
cross over cable, or use a switch or 
router not connected to anything else 
but your PC and the Matrix, Then 
configure your PC for a static IP 
compatible with the current address 
of the matrix. If the matrix has the 
factory default of 192.168.123.180, a 
PC address of 192.168.123.nnn may 
be entered where nnn is any number 
except 180. 
 
 
 

It is best to contact your IT or network administrator for assistance. As 
mentioned earlier you can control the matrix through its IP via port 
1001 (default). Most likely the unit will be on a local network connected 
to an Ethernet Switch or Router with a WAN connection. To access the 
matrix from outside your local network, you should configure the 
Ethernet Switch or Router to treat the IP and port assigned to the 
matrix as a virtual server this is a setting of your switch or router. Then 
you can access the matrix from anywhere on the internet via your WAN 
address and assigned port. It is advised to set the matrix’s Gateway 
address the same as your Ethernet switch or router’s Gateway IP 
address. In case of trouble please contact your IP administrator for 
assistance.
