DHCP radio button

The

DHCP

On

radio button directs the switcher 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. The default selection

is

DHCP

Off

. Contact the local system administrator to determine if DHCP is appropriate.

IP Address field

The

IP

Address

field contains the IP address of the connected switcher. This value is

encoded in the flash memory of the switcher.
Standard IP protocol consists of addresses comprised of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric
subfields, properly called octets, separated by dots (periods). Each field can be numbered
from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, 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: IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system

administrators should change IP addresses.

Gateway IP Address field

The

Gateway

IP

Address

field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail server to be

used if the switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet. Standard IP protocol
rules apply to the Gateway IP address

Subnet Mask field

The

Subnet

Mask

field is used to determine whether the switcher is on the same subnet

as the mail server when you are subnetting. For more information, see

Subnetting — A

Primer

, on page 113.

MAC Address field

The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be
changed.

Firmware field

The

Firmware

field identifies the installed firmware version. This field is hardcoded in the

switcher and cannot be changed without updating the firmware.

Model field

The

Model

field identifies the number of inputs and outputs. This field is hardcoded in the

switcher and cannot be changed.

Part Number field

The

Part

Number

field identifies the part number of your switcher. This field is hardcoded in

the switcher and cannot be changed.
