Extron electronic 7200, 3200 Dhcp radio buttons, Gateway IP Address field, Subnet Mask field

DHCP radio buttons

The DHCP On radio button directs the 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). The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off. Contact the local system administrator to determine if DHCP is appropriate.

IP Address field

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

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric 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 should ask your network administrator for a new, valid address.

NOTE: IP 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.

The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system 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 on page 122.

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 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.
