The
Configure
menu option expands when clicked to reveal three sub-sections:
• Central Switch
- settings related directly to the DDX switch.
•
Consoles
- settings related to the DDX-USR modules and their connected peripherals.
•
Computers
- settings related to the DDX-CAM modules and their host computers.
Central Switch >
General
Basic descriptive settings for the DDX switch. These are most useful when multiple DDX
installations are being managed; labelling each installation as you go is a good habit to get
into:
• Description
- a further opportunity to add more information about the switch.
• Location
- a useful feature if you have multiple DDX switches distributed around.
•
System Default EDID
- determines the default EDID to use for the installation.
•
Ignore Firmware Mismatch
- when set to On, this overrides the checks that are made to
ensure all modules are running compatible firmware versions. This override should be
used in exceptional circumstances only.
• Firmware Version -
shows the firmware version of the DDX switch.
• Recovery Version
- shows the version of the DDX switch recovery image.
• Admin UI Version
- shows the version of the DDX Matrix admin user interface.
Central Switch >
Network
All of the key settings for the network capabilities of the DDX switch are here:
• DHCP
- allows you to use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
to automatically determine all network settings or set them manually.
When set to On, the next three options are not editable.
•
IP Address
- set the IP address for the switch.
•
Net Mask
- set a subnet mask to accompany the IP address.
•
Gateway
- optionally define a suitable address for a gateway device.
•
MAC Address
- displays the unique (and fixed) MAC address for the switch.
•
HTTP Server
- when ON, switches to the use of insecure HTTP for web
admin - switch reboot required.
IMPORTANT: Do not enable this
option when the switch is connected to external networks.
• Network Service Discovery -
when set to Disabled, the switch will not
announce its presence on the network and will not be discoverable using
the Windows network browser on a network-connected computer.
These
