Figure 40. IP Setting/Options Window
NOTES:
• Editing the following fields in the IP Settings/Options window while the SMX is
connected via the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the computer from the
unit:
• Matrix IP Address , Gateway Address , Subnet Mask , Use DHCP ,
Administrator Password .
• Extron recommends editing the settings on this screen using the RS-232 or RS-422
link and protecting the Ethernet access to the screen by assigning an administrator
password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.
• When the control program is connected to the SMX via the RS-232 or RS-422 link,
the
Administrator and User Password fields are not masked. If a password has
been inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can look it up and, if desired,
change a password in this window without knowing the current password.
Setting the IP address
The Matrix IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected SMX. 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 zeroes, 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.
