IP Settings fields

The IP Settings fields provide a location for viewing and editing settings unique

to the Ethernet interface. After editing any of the settings on this page, click the
Submit

button at the bottom of the page.

Unit Name field

The Unit Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the

switcher e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. This name field can be

changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

N

The following characters are invalid in the matrix name:

+ ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.

DHCP radio buttons

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. 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 switcher’s flash memory.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric 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.

N

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.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system 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”, in appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”.

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.

Model field

The Model field identifies the number of video and audio inputs and outputs. This

field is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be changed.
