IP Settings Fields
The IP Settings fields provide a location for viewing and editing settings unique to the
Ethernet interface. After editing any of the settings on this page, click the
Submit button
at the bottom of the IP Settings section.
Unit Name field
The Unit Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the HDXP
e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. You can change this name field to any
valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.
NOTE: The following characters are invalid or not recommended in the matrix name:
+ ~ , @ = ` [ ] { } < > ' " ; : | \ and ? .
DHCP radio buttons
The DHCP On radio button directs the switcher to ignore any entered IP addresses and to
obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the
network is DHCP capable).
The
DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off. Contact the local system administrator to for
the setting of this control.
IP Address field
The IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected HDXP. This value is
encoded in the switcher flash memory.
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 zeros, up to three
digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
The factory-installed 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.
NOTE: IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local
system administrators should change IP addresses.
Gateway IP Address field
The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail server to
be used if the switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address.
Subnet Mask field
The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the switcher is on the same subnet
as the mail server when you are subnetting. For more information, see “Subnetting — A
Primer” under “Ethernet Connection” in the “Reference Information” section.
MAC Address field
The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hard coded in the switcher and cannot be
changed.
