Extron electronic DXP DVI PRO manual IP Settings Fields, Unit Name field

IP Settings Fields

The fields in the IP Settings section provide a location for viewing and editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. After editing any of the settings on this page, click the Submit button at the bottom of the section.

Unit Name field

The Unit Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the DXP e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. You can change this name field to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

NOTE: The following characters are invalid or not recommended in the matrix name: + ~ , @ = ` [ ] { } < > ‘ ’ “ ” ; : \ and ?.

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 your local system administrator for the setting for this control.

IP Address field

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

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric sub-fields separated by periods. Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeros, 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.

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 (see “IP Address field,” above).

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 (see “Subnetting, a Primer” on page 129 for more information).

The subnet mask address has the same validity rules as the system IP and gateway IP addresses.

MAC Address field

The Media Access Control (MAC) address is hard coded in the switcher and cannot be changed.
