Address and Name fields

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.

The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the controlling PC to be used if the matrix switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet.

The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the matrix switcher is on the same subnet as the controlling PC when you are subnetting. For more information, see “Subnetting — A Primer”, in appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”.

NThe above fields are unavailable for editing when DHCP is selected.

NEditing the above fields while connected via the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron recommends editing this field using one of the RS-232 ports and protecting the Ethernet access by assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

The Mail Server IP Address field displays the IP address of the mail server that handles the e-mail for the facility in which the matrix switcher is installed.

Valid 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 addresses are as follows, but if these conflict with other equipment at your installation, you can change the addresses to any valid value:

•	IP address	192.168.254.254	• Gateway address	0.0.0.0
•	Subnet mask	255.255.0.0

The Extron Name/Descriptor field contains the name of the matrix switcher. This descriptor can be changed to any valid name, up to 12 alphanumeric characters.

NThe following characters are invalid in the Extron Name/Descriptor field: {space} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : \ and ?.

The Mail Server Domain Name field displays the domain name that the matrix switcher uses to log on to the e-mail server. Standard domain conventions (such as xxx.com) apply.

NThe following characters are invalid in a domain name:

{space} + ~ , = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : \ and ?. The @ character is only acceptable as the lead-in to the domain name (such as @folklore.net).

Edit any of these fields as follows:

1.	Click in the desired field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.
2.	Edit the address or name as desired.
3.	Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the field.
4.	Click the Take button to make the address change take affect.

Hardware Address field

The hardware (MAC) address is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be changed.

Use DHCP check box

The Use DHCP check box directs the matrix switcher 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). Contact the local system administrator to determine whether to use DHCP.
