IP Address field

The IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected switcher. This value is encoded in the switcher’s flash memory.

Standard IP protocol consists of addresses comprised of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields, properly called octets, separated by dots (periods). Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to 3 digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.

NIP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system administrators should change IP addresses.

Gateway IP Address field

The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail server to be used if the switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet. Standard IP protocol rules apply to the Gateway IP address

Subnet Mask field

The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the switcher is on the same subnet as the mail server when you are subnetting. For more information, see “Subnetting — A Primer”, in appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”.

MAC Address field

The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be changed.

Firmware field

The Firmware field identifies the installed firmware version. This field is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be changed.

Model field

The Model field identifies the number of video and audio inputs and outputs. This field is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be changed.

Part Number field

The Part Number field identifies the part number of your switcher. This field is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be changed.

Date/Time Settings fields

The Date/Time Settings fields (figure 6-5) provide a location for viewing and setting the time functions.
