IP Settings/Options window

The IP Settings/Options window (figure 5-7) provides a location for viewing and, if connected via either serial port or if you are logged on via the LAN port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”, for basic information about IP addresses. You cannot edit any of the fields on this screen while you are logged on as a user.

NEditing variables on the IP Settings/Options screen while connected via the LAN port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron recommends editing the settings on this screen using a serial port and protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

If a password has been inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can look up and, if desired, change a password in this window without knowing the current password.

Matrix IP Address field

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

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields, properly called octets, 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, consult with the network administrator to get a new, valid address.
