IP Settings/Options window

The IP Settings/Options window (figure 5-7), accessible via the Tools menu, provides a location for viewing and, if connected via either serial port or if logged on via the Ethernet port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”, for basic information about

IP addresses. None of the fields on this screen can be edited while you are logged on as a user.

Figure 5-7 — Control program IP Setting/Options window

NEditing variables in the IP Settings/Options window while connected via the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron recommends editing the settings on this screen using the RS-232 link and protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

NWhen the control program is connected to the switcher via the RS-232 link, the

Administrator and User Password fields are not masked. If a password has been inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can look up and, if desired, change a password in this window without knowing the current password.

Matrix IP Address field

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

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 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.

NThe Matrix IP Address field is grayed out and uneditable when DHCP is selected.
