TCP/IP screen

The TCP/IP screen (figure 3-15) consists of fields from which administrators can observe and edit IP administration and system settings.

Figure 3-15 — TCP/IP screen

There are two levels of FPC 5000 password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all Matrix 12800 editing functions. Users cannot change any settings on the TCP/IP screen.

Editing many of the TCP/IP settings while connected via the FPC 5000 can immediately disconnect the user from the Matrix 12800. Extron recommends editing these fields using the switcher’s RS-232/422 link (refer to the Matrix 12800 Wideband, Sync, or Audio Switchers User’s Manual, part #68-556-01) and protecting the FPC access to this screen by assigning an Administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

Personnel logged in as users can edit the Date and Time (GMT) fields. All other fields are reserved for administrators only. The Hardware (BME 0) Address field and FPC IP Address field are hardcoded and cannot be changed.

Edit TCP/IP fields as follows:

1.

Touch the blue Admin > purple TCP/IP buttons.

 

 

The TCP/IP

 

 

screen appears.

 

 

 

 

2.

Touch the field you want to edit. Depending on the field you touch, either the

 

on-screen alphanumeric keyboard (figure 3-1) or an on-screen numeric

 

keypad (figure 3-2) appears.

 

 

 

 

3.

Enter the desired parameter using the keyboard or keypad.

 

4.

Touch the green Take button to accept the changes

or touch the

 

green Cancel button

to reject the changes.
