The default addresses are as follows, but if these conflict with other equipment at your
installation, you can change the addresses to any valid value:

IP address 192.168.254.254

Gateway address 0.0.0.0

Subnet mask 255.255.0.0

NOTES:

The address fields are unavailable when DHCP is selected.

Editing the addresses 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 by assigning an
administrator password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

The

Extron Name/Descriptor

field contains the name of the matrix switcher. This

descriptor can be changed to any valid name, up to 12 alphanumeric characters.
The

Mail Server Domain Name

field displays the domain name that the FOX matrix switcher

uses to log on to the e‑mail server. Standard domain conventions (such as xxx.com) apply.

NOTE: The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions (see

Special Characters

on page 70). In the

Mail

Server

Domain

Name

field, the @

character is acceptable only as the lead‑in to the domain name (such as @folklore.net).

the network is DHCP capable). Contact the local system administrator to determine whether
to use DHCP.
