Subnet Mask field

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

Edit this field as follows:

1.	Click in the Subnet Mask field. The pointer tool becomes a text cursor.
2.	Edit the mask as desired.
3.	Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Subnet
	Mask field.
4.	Click the Take button to make the mask take effect.

Hardware Address field

The hardware (MAC) address is hardcoded in the matrix switcher and cannot be changed.

Use DHCP checkbox

The Use DHCP checkbox directs the matrix switcher to ignore any entered IP addresses and to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the network is DHCP capable). Contact the local system administrator to determine whether to use DHCP.

Date field

The Date field displays the current date in the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) zone. If necessary, adjust the date as follows:

1.	Click in the Date field. A Set Date field appears with
	the date in the format (M)M/(D)D/YYYY. Leading
	zeroes are not used. The pointer tool becomes a text cursor in the Set Date
	field.
2.	Edit the field as desired to set the proper date. Leading zeroes are optional.
3.	Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Set Date
	field.
4.	Click the Take button to make the date change take effect.

Time (local) field

The Time (local) field displays the current time in the local time zone. If necessary, click on the Sync Time to PC button to set the switcher to your computer’s internal time or else adjust the time manually as follows:

1.	Click in the Time field. A Set Time field
	appears with the date in the format HH:MM:SS
	(00:00:00 to 23:59:59). The pointer tool becomes a text cursor.
2.	Edit the field as desired to set the proper time. Remember to use 24-hour
	time. Leading zeroes are optional.
3.	Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Set Time
	field.
4.	Click the Take button to make the time change take effect.
