IP information

To set up the ISM for operation via its Ethernet port, you need to know and be able to change the IP address. One way to do this is via the IP address and hardware address screen.

To access the IP address and hardware address screen, press and hold the Color/Tint and Detail buttons while you apply power to the ISM (figure 3-15). When the ISM is finished intializing, it displays both addresses.

If you need to change the IP address, use the Adjust knob to select the desired subfield. Rotate the Adjust knob to change the value. Repeat the adjustment for other subfields as required.

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields 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.

If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory- specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.

The hardware address is hardcoded and cannot be changed.

Optimizing the Video

Perform the following steps, in sequence, after you have installed the ISM. This procedure will help you to configure the switcher for the best settings for your display environment. In a multi-screen environment, perform this procedure for each display.

See Advanced Configuration menu earlier in this chapter to select and output a test pattern and to select and output blue only video.

See Picture adjustments earlier in this chapter to make adjustments to the picture quality.

See User Presets menu earlier in this chapter to save presets.
