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 page.
Unit Name field
The Unit Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the
switcher BME 0 e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. This name field
can be changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.
N The following characters are invalid in the matrix name:
+ ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
DHCP radio buttons
The DHCP On radio button directs the switcher BME 0 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 determine if DHCP is
appropriate.
IP Address field
The IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected switcher BME 0. This
value is encoded in the switcher’s flash memory.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields, properly called
octets, separated by dots (periods). Each field can be numbered from 000 through
255. Leading zeroes, 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 should ask your network administrator
for a new, valid address.
N 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 BME 0 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 BME 0 is on the
same subnet as the mail server when you are subnetting. For more information, see
“Subnetting — A Primer”, in appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”.
MAC Address field
The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hardcoded in the BME and cannot be
changed.
Firmware field
The Firmware field identifies the installed firmware version. This field is
hardcoded in the BME and cannot be changed.
Model and Part Number fields
The Model and Part Number fields identify the switcher BME 0. These fields are
hardcoded in the BME and cannot be changed.
