Extron electronic ISS 408 ISS IP Settings fields

On password-protected connections, there are two levels of protection:

administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all ISS switching

capabilities and editing functions. Users can select video and/or audio for output,

select test patterns, set RGB and audio mutes, select a blue screen, and view all

settings except passwords.

Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper case and lower case

alphanumeric characters. Each password must be entered twice: once in the

password field and then repeated in the re-enter password field. Characters in

these fields are masked by asterisks (*****). If you do not want to password-protect

an access level, leave the password field and the re-enter password field blank.

After entering the desired password in both fields, click the Submit button.

The program will not allow you to create a user password unless you have

already created an administrator password.

If a password has been inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can

still connect to the switcher via the RS-232 link, which is not password

protected. When connected via the RS-232 link, using either SIS commands

(see chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”) or under program control (see chapter

5, “Switcher Software”), you can look up and, if desired, change a password.

ISS IP Settings fields

The ISS IP Settings fields provide a location for observing and editing settings

unique to the Ethernet interface. After editing any of the settings on this page, click

the Submit button.

The ISS IP address field contains the IP address of the connected ISS. This value is

encoded in the flash memory on the controller circuit board.

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.

The 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.

The ISS name field contains the name of the switcher. This is helpful in identifying

the switcher in multiple-unit networks. This name field can be changed to any

valid name, up to 12 alphanumeric characters.

The hardware address (also known as the MAC address) is hardcoded on the

controller board and cannot be changed.
