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

Editing 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.
