Figure 6-3 — System Settings page

On password-protected connections, there are two levels of protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can create ties, create and recall presets, set audio or RS-232 mutes, and view all settings with the exception of passwords.

IP Settings fields

The IP Settings fields provide a location for viewing and editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. After editing any of the settings on this page, click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.

Unit Name field

The Unit Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the switcher e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. This name field can be changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

NThe following characters are invalid in the matrix name:

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

DHCP radio buttons

The DHCP On radio button directs the 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). The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off. Contact the local system administrator to determine if DHCP is appropriate.
