IP Settings/Options window
The IP Settings/Options window (click Tools > IP options, figure 5-7) provides a
location for viewing and, if connected via either serial port or if logged on via the
Ethernet port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface.
See appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”, 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 5-7 — Control program IP Setting/Options window
N 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 the RS-232 link and
protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s
password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.
N When the control program is connected to the switcher via the RS-232 link, 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 the password in this window without knowing the current password.
