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 FOX matrix 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 24 alphanumeric characters.
NOTE: The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions (see
on page 35). In the
Server
Domain
Name
field, the @
character is acceptable only as the lead-in to the domain name (such as @folklore.net).
Edit any of these fields as follows:
1.
Click in the desired field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.
2.
Edit the address or name as desired.

Hardware Address field
The hardware (MAC) address is hardcoded in the matrix switcher and cannot be changed.
Use DHCP check box
The
Use DHCP
check box directs the matrix 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). Contact the local system administrator to determine whether to
use DHCP.
Date, Time (local), and GMT (offset) fields
The
Date
field displays the current date in the Greenwich Mean Time zone.
The
Time (local)
field displays the current time in the local time zone.
The
GMT
field displays the amount of time, in hours and minutes, that the local time varies
from the GMT international time reference.
NOTE: Rather than the following procedure, you can click the
Sync Time to PC
button
to set the switcher to the internal time of your computer.
