Software Operation via Ethernet
When an ISM is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, any number of users can operate
it, locally or remotely, using the ISS/ISM Control Program (see
Ethernet connection on
page 9 for installation details).
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two levels
of password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all ISM
switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select video and/or audio for output,
select inputs and outputs, select test patterns, set RGB and audio mutes, select a blue
screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. If the same passwords or no
password is required for logging on, all personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields
and functions that exceed user privileges are grayed out in the ISS/ISM Control Program
when the operator is logged on as a user.
Ethernet protocol settings
The IP Settings/Options screen (see figure 35 on page 51) provides a location for observing
and, if you are connected via the RS-232 link or if logged on via the Ethernet port as an
administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. None of the fields on this
screen can be edited while you are logged on as a user. See
System Configuration Page
on page 67, for details on the contents of these fields. See Ethernet Connection on
page 69 for other basic information about Internet protocol.
NOTE: Editing variables on the IP Settings/Options screen while connected via
the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the ISM. Extron
recommends editing the settings on this screen using the RS-232 link and protecting
the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to
qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.
