IP Address
The MPX 423 A IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected matrix
switcher. This value is encoded in the flash memory in the switcher.
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 zeroes,
up to 3 digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
The 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.
N Editing the Extron IP address while connected via the Ethernet port can
immediately disconnect the user from the matrix switcher. Extron recommends
editing this field 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.
Edit this field as follows:
1. Click in the IP Address field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.
2. Edit the address as desired.
3. Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the IP
Address field.
4. Click the Submit button to make the address change take affect.
Gateway IP Address
The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail
server to be used if the MPX 423 A switcher and the mail server are not on the same
subnet.
The gateway IP address has the same parameters rules as the system IP address.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the MPX 423 A switcher is on
the same subnet as the mail server when you are subnetting.
MAC Address
The hardware address is hard-coded in the switcher and cannot be changed.
Date/Time Settings
The Date/Time Settings fields provide a location for viewing and setting the date
and time functions. Click Local Date/Time to syncronize the MPX’s internal clock
with the PC’s time setting.
