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.
N Rather than the following procedure, your can click the Sync Time to PC
button to set the switcher to your computer’s internal time.
If desired, adjust any of these values as follows:
1 . Click in the desired field. The field changes to an editable field appropriate to
the value being change and the graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.
• The Date field becomes a set date field, with the
date in the format (M)M/(D)D/YYYY. Leading
zeroes are not shown.
• The Time (local) field becomes a set time field,
with the time in the format HH:MM:SS (00:00:00
to 23:59:59).
• The GMT field becomes a set offset field, with the offset in the
format ±HH:MM (–12:00 to +14:00).
2 . Edit the field as desired to set the proper proper value. For time, use the
24-hour time standard. Leading zeroes are optional.
3 . Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the set date
field.
4 . Click the Take button to make the date change take affect.
Sync Time to PC button
Clicking the mouse on the Sync Time to PC button causes the computer you are
operating to send its internal time to the switcher in a set time command.
Use Daylight Savings checkbox
Click in the Use Daylight Savings checkbox. When Daylight Saving Time is turned
on, the switcher automatically updates its internal clock between Standard Time
and Daylight Saving Time in the spring and fall on the date that the time change
occurs in the country or region selected. When Daylight Saving Time is turned off,
the switcher does not adjust its time reference.
Administrator Password and User Password fields
The Administrator Password field displays the password required to log on to the
matrix switcher via the Ethernet port with all of the administrator’s rights and
privileges. The User Password field displays the password required to log on to the
matrix switcher via the Ethernet port as a user, without all of the administrator’s
rights and privileges. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper-case
and lower-case alphanumeric characters.
While you are logged on as a user, both password fields are masked with asterisks
(************) as a security measure.
N Editing the Administrator Password field while connected via the Ethernet port
can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron recommends
editing this field using either serial port and protecting the Ethernet access
to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and
knowledgeable personnel only.
