IP Settings/Options window
The IP Settings/Options window (fi gure 5-5) provides a location for viewing
and, if connected via the RS-232 link or if logged on via the Ethernet port as an
administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See appendix A,
Ethernet Connection

Editing variables on the IP Settings/Options screen while connected via the
Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron
recommends editing the settings on this screen using the RS-232 link and
protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s
password to qualifi ed and knowledgeable personnel only.

When the control program is connected to the switcher via the RS-232 link, the
Administrator and User Password fi elds 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 fi eld
The Matrix IP Address fi eld contains the IP address of the connected matrix
switcher. This value is encoded in the fl ash memory in the switcher.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfi elds separated by
dots (periods). Each fi eld can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes,
up to 3 digits total per fi eld, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
The default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this confl icts with other equipment at
your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.

The Matrix IP Address fi eld is grayed out and uneditable when DHCP is
selected.

personnel only.
