1.6 Configuring the Matrix
1.6.1 IP address
The Eclipse HX matrix is set to automatically acquire an IP address from the network (see above).
However, Clear-Com strongly recommends that you set a static IP address before commencing
normal operations to prevent:
• Delays in restarting the matrix while a new IP address is required.
• Possible undesirable shifts in the IP address during operation.
To set a static IP address on the matrix:
1. In EHX, right click the matrix on the Layout screen.
2. Select Change IP Address. The current IP settings are displayed.
3. Make any desired adjustments to the IP settings (you may need to contact your IT
department for assistance).
4. Apply the changes to the matrix (click Apply Changes).
