IP Settings/Options window
The IP Settings/Options window (click Tools > IP options , see figure 66) provides a
location for viewing and, if connected via the either serial port or if you are logged on via
the LAN port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See the
Ethernet Link section, beginning on page 149 for basic information about IP addresses.
None of the fields on this screen can be edited while you are logged on as a user.
Figure 66. Control Program IP Setting/Options Window
NOTES:
• Editing variables in the IP Settings/Options window while connected via the
Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron
recommends editing the settings on this screen using a serial port and protecting
the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator password to
qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.
• When the control program is connected to the switcher via the RS-232 link,
the
Administrator Password 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.
Address and Name fields
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.
The
Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the controlling PC
to be used if the matrix switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
The
Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the matrix switcher is on the
same subnet as the controlling PC when you are subnetting. For more information, see
Subnetting — A Primer section on page 154.
The Mail Server IP Address field displays the IP address of the mail server that handles
the e-mail for the facility in which the matrix switcher is installed.
