VNM Enterprise Controller • Setup Guide

The Extron VNM Enterprise Controller is a dedicated control device used to manage

large VN-Matrix systems. The VNM Enterprise Controller allows users to view, manage,

and dynamically control multiple VN-Matrix systems and networked VN-Matrix

domains from a single user interface.

This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced installer to conﬁgure and operate a single VNM Enterprise

Controller using a basic VN-Matrix system.

NOTE: See the VNM Enterprise Controller User Guide,VN-Matrix 200 Series User Guide,VN-Matrix 225 Series User Guide,

VN-Matrix 300 User Guide, and the VN-Matrix 325 User Guide for complete installation, network conﬁguration,

and mounting information. User guides are available at www.extron.com.

Initial Installation and Conguration of Devices

Step 1 — Determine the Default Network Settings

Before any device is connected

to a network, the default

network settings of each

device must be changed. On an

existing network, check with

the network administrator for a

range of available IP addresses.

On a closed network that is

used exclusively for VN-Matrix

devices, it is recommended

to use addresses within the

range of 192.168.254.1 through

192.168.254.254 with a subnet

mask of 255.255.255.0.

Figure 1 shows an example

addressing scheme for a

simple system that contains a VNM Enterprise Controller, an encoder, and a decoder.

Step 2 — Install and Congure the VN-Matrix 200 / 225 / 300 / 325 Devices

Connect these devices as necessary and power them on. Conﬁgure the network settings of these devices using a PC running

HyperTerminal. For installation and conﬁguration instructions, see the setup guides included with these devices. Figure 1

can also be used as a guide for conﬁguring network settings.

Step 3 — Connect the VNM Enterprise Controller to the VN-Matrix Network

While directly looking at the rear panel of the VNM Enterprise Controller, connect the VN-Matrix network

to the left Ethernet connector of the controller using Category (CAT) 6 twisted pair cable.

NOTE: The right Ethernet connector should be used only if a secondary VNM Enterprise Controller

is installed. For information on how to set up a secondary VNM Enterprise Controller, see the

VNM Enterprise Controller User Guide.

Step 4 — Power on the VNM Enterprise Controller

Plug a standard IEC power cord into the controller and connect it to a 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz power source.

Step 5 — Congure the Network Settings of the VNM Enterprise Controller

The VNM Enterprise Controller is preconﬁgured with the following network settings:

IP address: 192.168.254.254

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

NOTE: With these settings, the VN-Matrix 200 / 225 / 300 / 325 devices must use IP addresses within the range of

192.168.254.1 through 192.168.254.253 and use the same subnet mask. The example in ﬁgure 1 uses the default

settings of the VNM Enterprise Controller.

Use the following procedure to change the network settings of the VNM Enterprise Controller, if necessary.
