Extron electronic MPX Plus 866 A manual Update firmware, Use Daylight Savings checkbox

PRELIMINARY

Switcher Software, cont’d

Use Daylight Savings checkbox

If desired, click in the Use Daylight Savings checkbox. When Daylight Saving Time is turned on, the switcher automatically updates its internal clock between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time in the spring and fall on the date that the time change occurs in the country or region selected. When Daylight Saving Time is turned off, the switcher does not adjust its time reference.

Administrator Password and User Password fields

The Administrator Password field displays the password required to log on to the matrix switcher via the Ethernet port with all of the administrator’s rights and privileges. The User Password field displays the password required to log on to the matrix switcher via the Ethernet port as a user, without all of the administrator’s rights and privileges. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper-case and lower-case alphanumeric characters.

While you are logged on as a user, both password fields are masked with asterisks (************) as a security measure.

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

NAn administrator password must be created before a user password can be created.

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

Edit either password field as follows:

1.	Click in the desired Password field. The pointer tool becomes a text cursor.
2.	Edit the case-sensitive password as desired.
3.	Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the
	Password field.
4.	Click the Take button to make the password change take effect.

Update firmware

The firmware upgrade utility provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded on the switcher’s control board without taking the switcher out of service.

NThe update firmware utility is for replacing the firmware that controls all switcher operation. This is not the selection to insert your own HTML pages. See “Upload HTML files” to insert custom HTML pages.
