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” in chapter 2, “Installation”, 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 (figure 5-8 on page 5-6) 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” in chapter 6, “Ethernet Operation”, for details on
the contents of these fields. See appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”, for other basic
information about Internet protocol.
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.
