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 determine if DHCP is appropriate.

IP Address field

The

IP Address

field contains the IP address of the connected switcher. This value is

encoded in the flash memory of the switcher.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric octets 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 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.

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

”.

MAC Address field

The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be
changed.

Firmware field

The

Firmware

field identifies the installed firmware version. This field is hardcoded in the

switcher and cannot be changed.

Model field

The

Model

field identifies the number of video and audio inputs and outputs. This field is

hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be changed.

Part Number field

The

Part Number

field identifies the part number of your switcher. This field is hardcoded

in the switcher and cannot be changed.
