IP Settings fields

The IP Settings fields 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 page.

Unit Name field

The Unit Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the switcher BME 0 e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. This name field can be changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

NThe following characters are invalid in the matrix name: + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : \ and ?.

DHCP radio buttons

The DHCP On radio button directs the switcher BME 0 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 the local system administrator for guidance on the use of DHCP.

IP Address field

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

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 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.

NIP 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 BME 0 and the mail server are not on the same subnet.

The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address.

Subnet Mask field

The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the switcher BME 0 is on the same subnet as the mail server when you are subnetting. For more information, see Subnetting — A Primer, in Appendix A, Ethernet Connection.

MAC Address field

The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hardcoded in the switcher BME and cannot be changed.
