Extron recommends editing the settings on this screen using the RS-232 or
RS-422 link and protecting the Ethernet access to the screen by assigning an
administrator password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.
•
When the control program is connected to the SMX via the RS-232 or RS-422
link, the
Administrator
and
User Password
fields are not masked. If a
password has been inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can look
it up and, if desired, change a password in this window without knowing the
current password.
Setting the IP address
The
Matrix IP Address
field contains the IP address of the connected SMX. This value is
encoded in the flash memory on the switcher.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields separated by dots
(periods). Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to 3 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, you can change the IP address to any valid value.
Edit the address field as follows:
1.
Click in the
Matrix IP Address
field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.
2.
Make any desired changes to the address.
