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 output
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.
N The 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.
