IP Settings section
Unit Name field
The Unit Name field contains the locally-assigned name of the
MKP. This name field can be changed to any valid name, up to
24 alphanumeric characters.
The following characters are invalid in the unit name:
+ ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
DHCP radio buttons
The DHCP On radio button directs the MKP 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.
IP Address field
The IP Address field contains the IP address of the MKP. This
value is encoded in the MKP’s flash memory.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric
subfields (octets) separated by dots (periods). Each octet can be
numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to 3 digits
total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.253, but if
this conflicts with other equipment at your installation, you can
change the IP address to any valid value.
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 switcher’s to be used if the MKP and the server
are not on the same subnet.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the
MKP’s IP address. The default is 000.000.000.000.
Subnet Mask field
The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the MKP is
on the same subnet as the switcher’s server when you are
subnetting. The default is 255.255.000.000.
MAC Address field
The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hardcoded in the
MKP and cannot be changed.
Switcher Settings section
MKP Connection Priority settings
Click the appropriate radio button to select among:
• The Ethernet (IP) port to issue commands to the
connected switcher
• The MKP as primary (its Switch RS-232 port connected to
the switcher)
• The MKP as secondary (the MKP controls the switcher
through another MKP)
Host Control Port settings
If the RS-232 radio button is selected in the Switcher Control
Method box, click the MKP 2000 or Control System Pass
Through radio button to select that function for the Host RS-232
port.
• MKP 2000 selected — Commands received on the Host
RS-232 port are executed by the MKP.
• Pass Through selected — Commands received on the
Host RS-232 port are forwarded to the connected switcher
via the Switch RS-232 port.
If the IP radio button is selected in the Switcher Control Method
box, the Host Control Port Settings selections are grayed out
and unavailable.
Switcher IP settings
If the connected matrix switcher is Ethernet enabled, its IP
address and password (if assigned) can be entered in these
fields. The address and password are required for the MKP and
the matrix switcher to communicate via their RJ-45 LAN
connections. The default IP address value is 000.000.000.000.
If the Secondary MKP Connection Priority is selected,
this section and all of the selections within it are labeled
“Primary MKP” rather than “Switcher”.
Switcher Size settings
The MKP cannot determine the matrix size of the switcher to
which it is connected. You must use the Switcher Size drop
boxes to specify the number of inputs and outputs.
When creating ties from the front panel, if an input or
output outside the available range for this MKP or the
connected matrix switcher is selected, the LED display
shows
N - A .
