Setting the matrix IP address
The Matrix IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected matrix switcher.
This value is encoded in the flash memory on the switcher.
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 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.
Edit the address field as follows:
1. Click in the Matrix IP Address field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.
2. Make any desired changes to the address.
3. Press the key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Matrix IP
Address field.
