IP Settings/Options Window
The IP Settings/Options window (from the main window, click Tools > IP options , see
figure 38, below) provides a location for viewing and, if connected via the serial port or USB
port or if logged on via the Ethernet port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the
Ethernet interface (see
Ethernet Connection on page 108 for basic information about IP
addresses). None of the fields on this screen can be edited while you are logged on as a
user.
Figure 38. Control Program IP Setting/Options Window
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 the RS-232 or USB 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 or USB
port, the Administrator and User Password fields are not masked. If a password
has been inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can look up and,
if desired, change a password in this window without knowing the current
password.
Address and Name fields
The Matrix IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected matrix switcher.
The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the controlling PC to
be used if the matrix switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
The
Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the matrix switcher is on the same
subnet as the controlling PC when you are subnetting (see Subnetting — A Primer on
page 113).
