DHCP radio buttons

The DHCP On radio button directs the device 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 this control setting.

IP Address

The IP Address field contains the IP address of the Annotator. This value is encoded in
the unit’s flash memory.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields separated by dots
(periods). Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeros, 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 can change the IP address to any valid value.

NOTE: Editing the Extron IP address while connected via the Ethernet port can

immediately disconnect the user from the scaler. Extron recommends
editing this field using the RS-232 link and protecting the Ethernet access
to this screen by assigning an administrator password to qualified and
knowledgeable personnel only.

Edit this field as follows:

Click in the device IP address field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.

Edit the address as desired.

Press the key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the IP Address
field.

Click on the Submit button to make the address change take effect.

Gateway IP Address

The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail
server to be used if the Annotator 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 Annotator is on the same
subnet as the controlling PC or the mail server when you are subnetting.

MAC Address field

The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hard coded in the device and cannot be
changed.

Firmware field

This field shows the firmware version number. This field changes only when the firmware
is updated.

Model field

This field shows the model (Annotator) and cannot be changed.

Part Number field

This field shows the Annotator part number (60-968-xx) and cannot be changed.
