Use Daylight Savings checkbox
If desired, click in the Use Daylight Savings checkbox. When Daylight Saving
Time is turned on, the switcher automatically updates its internal clock between
Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time in the spring and fall on the date that the
time change occurs in the country or region selected. When Daylight Saving Time
is turned off, the switcher does not adjust its time reference.
Administrator Password and User Password fields
The Administrator Password field displays the password required to log on to the
matrix switcher via the Ethernet port with all of the administrator’s rights and
privileges. The User Password field displays the password required to log on to the
matrix switcher via the Ethernet port as a user, without all of the administrator’s
rights and privileges. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper-case
and lower-case alphanumeric characters.
While you are logged on as a user, both password fields are masked with asterisks
(************) as a security measure.
N Editing the Administrator Password field while connected via the Ethernet port
can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron recommends
editing this field using one of the serial ports and protecting the Ethernet
access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and
knowledgeable personnel only.
N An administrator password must be created before a user password can be
created.
N The following characters are invalid in passwords:
{space} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
Edit either password field as follows:
1 . Click in the desired Password field. The pointer tool becomes a text cursor.
2 . Edit the case-sensitive password as desired.
3 . Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the
Password field.
4 . Click the Take button to make the password change take effect.
Update firmware
The firmware upgrade utility provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded
on the switcher’s control board without taking the switcher out of service.
N The update firmware utility is for replacing the firmware that controls all
switcher operation. This is not the selection to insert your own HTML pages.
See “Upload HTML files” to insert custom HTML pages.
Update the switcher firmware as follows:
1 . Visit the Extron Web site, www.extron.com , click the Download Center tab,
and then click the Firmware link (figure 5-27).
