Managing device properties
Viewing and changing switch configuration information
The LCM8/LCM16 switch can report most device properties directly through the LCM8/LCM16
switch web browser.
The Configure tab allows you to display a list of categories covering a wide range of parameters for
your switch. When a category is selected from the list, the parameters associated with the category
will be read from the unit. You will then be able to modify those parameters and send the changes
securely back to the switch.
Viewing switch parameters
The Appliance category allows you to view the product type, product name, product description,
eID, MAC address, number of digitizers, ARI ports, and local ports for the LCM8/LCM16 switch.
From the Network sub-category, you are able to modify the network configuration for the LCM8/
LCM16 switch.
NOTE: After changing network settings, the switch must be rebooted.
The Sessions sub-category allows you to apply controls to your video sessions.
Enabling Network Time Protocol (NTP) functionality
NTP settings can be configured for your LCM8/LCM16 switch. The switch must have access to the
current time to verify that certificates have not expired, and you can configure the switch to request
time updates from the network time server (NTP).
To enable NTP functionality:
1. Click the Configure tab in the OBWI, then click Appliance > NTP in the left column.
2. Click the Enable NTP check box and enter the IP address for the NTP server you want to use,
along with an update interval.
3. Click the Save button to exit, or Restore to leave the settings unchanged.
