Extron Electronics Annotator User Guide - Manual (Page 86)

Configuration Tab
The Configuration tab includes pages that allow System settings (such as IP address,
date/time, and so forth), scaler settings, and passwords (admin and user), to be configured
as desired. Additionally by selecting the Firmware Upgrade link the current firmware can
be upgraded. If an optional board such as the Aux Scaler board has been installed a
configuration page for the board will also be available.
System Settings page
The Annotator displays the System Settings page when you click on the
Configuration tab. The screen consists of fields in which you can view and edit IP
administration and system date and time settings. See the “Ethernet Connection” section
at the end of this guide for basic information about IP addresses and subnetting.
Figure 45. System Settings Page
On password-protected connections, there are two levels of protection: administrator and
user. Administrators have full access to all unit capabilities and editing functions. Users
can change inputs, create and recall presets, change images, and view all settings with the
exception of passwords.
• Ethernet connection to the unit, either entering SIS commands
(see “SIS Communication and Control” section) or using the Extron Signal Processing
Products Control Program (see the “Signal Processing Products Control Program”
section) is password protected.
• Connection via the RS-232/RS-422 port is not password protected.
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 Submit.
