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

IP

Settings

section.

Unit Name field

The

Unit

Name

field contains the name used as the “from” information when the AVT

e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. You can change this name field to any

valid name

, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

DHCP radio buttons

The

DHCP

On

radio button directs the tuner 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 your local system administrator for this setting.

IP Address field

The

IP

Address

field contains the IP address of the connected AVT. This address is encoded

in the tuner flash memory.
Valid IP addresses consist of four one-, two-, or three-digit numeric sub-fields separated
by periods. Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeros, 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 can change the IP address to any valid value.

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 tuner and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address (see “

IP Address

field

,” above).

Subnet Mask field

The

Subnet

Mask

field is used to determine whether the tuner is on the same subnet as the

mail server when you are using a subnet (see

Subnetting — A Primer

” under “Ethernet

Connection” in the “Reference Information” section for more information).
The subnet mask address has the same validity rules as the system IP and gateway IP
addresses.

MAC Address field

The MAC (media access control) address is a unique hardware address by which each
individual AVT can be identified. It consists of six pairs of characters separated by hyphens.
For all Extron products, the first three character pairs are 00-05-A6, followed by three more
pairs unique to the individual device. The MAC address is hard coded in the tuner and
cannot be changed.
