Figure 5-7 — Control program IP setting/options window

NWhen the control program is connected to the switcher via a serial port, the

Administrator and User Password fields are not masked. 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 three 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.

NEditing the Matrix IP address while connected via the LAN port can immediately disconnect the user from the matrix switcher. Extron recommends editing this field using a serial port and protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

Edit this field as follows:

1.

Click in the Matrix IP address field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.

2.

Edit the address as desired.

3.

Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Matrix IP

 

Address field.

4.

Click the Take button to make the address change take affect.
