NOTES:
•
Editing variables in the IP Settings/Options window while connected via the
Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron
recommends editing the settings on this screen using a serial port and protecting
the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator password to
qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.
•
When the control program is connected to the switcher via the RS‑232 link, the
Administrator
Password
and
User
Password
fields are not masked. If a password
has been inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can look up and change
a password in this window without knowing the current password.
