Extron electronic DXP DVI PRO manual Setting the IP address, Setting the Extron name or descriptor

Setting the IP address

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

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 three 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, you can change the IP address to any valid value.

Edit the address field as follows:

1.Click in the Matrix IP Address field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.

2.Make any desired changes to the address.

3.Press the <Tab> key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Matrix IP Address field.

4.Click the Take button for the address change to take effect.

NOTE: Editing the IP Address field while connected via Ethernet can immediately disconnect your computer from the DXP. It is recommended that you connect via RS-232 or RS-422 to edit this field.

Setting the Extron name or descriptor

The Extron Name/Descriptor field contains the name used as the “from” information when the DXP switcher e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. The default name or descriptor shown in this field is a portion of your product name, followed by the last six characters of the unit MAC address (for example, DXP-DVI/HDMI-05-A6-2D).

This descriptor can be changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters or hyphens.

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

Edit the Extron Name/Descriptor field as follows:

1.Click in the Extron Name/Descriptor field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.

2.Edit the name as desired.

3.Press the <Tab> key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Extron Name/ Descriptor field.

4.Click the Take button for the name change to take effect.

Setting the gateway IP address

The Gateway IP Address field identifies the IP address of the gateway to the mail server to be used if the DXP switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet (see “Setting the IP address,” above, for the valid address format).

Edit this field as follows:

1.Click in the Gateway IP Address field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.

2.Make any desired changes to the address.

3.Press the <Tab> key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Gateway IP Address field.
