Matrox Iris GTR can be configured through the Matrox Design Assistant configuration portal (the portal pages). To access the portal pages, go to http://GTR329999, where GTR32999 is your smart camera's network name. Alternatively, use your smart camera's IP address ( http://999.999.999.999). If you do not have this information, you can find it using the Matrox Iris GTR Discovery utility.
Your Matrox Iris GTR has additional portal pages (relative to the portal pages on a PC runtime platform) to provide configuration for TCP/IP, Windows credentials, as well as other Matrox Iris GTR-specific system information. The HOME, PROJECTS, VIEW, TOOLS and COMMS portal pages are available on all Matrox Design Assistant platforms.
The following table describes tasks that you can perform using the portal pages or the Matrox Iris GTR desktop (for example, through a remote connection):
