Extron electronic MPX 866 A manual Hardware Address field, Use DHCP check box, zz Subnet mask

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 three 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
zz Subnet mask	255.255.0.0

NOTES: • The address fields are grayed out and uneditable when DHCP is selected.

• Editing the addresses while connected via the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the MPX 866 A matrix switcher. Extron recommends editing this field using one of the serial ports and protecting the Ethernet access by assigning an administrator password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

The Extron Name/Descriptor field contains the name of the matrix switcher. This descriptor can be changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

NOTE: The following characters are invalid or not recommended in the Extron Name/

Descriptor field:

{space} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ “ ; : \ and ?.

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 matrix 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.
