Administrator and User Password fi elds are not masked. If a password has been
inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can look up and, if desired,
change a password in this window without knowing the current password.
Matrix IP Address fi eld
The Matrix IP Address fi eld contains the IP address of the connected matrix
switcher. This value is encoded in the fl ash memory in the switcher.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfi elds, properly called
octets, separated by dots (periods). Each fi eld can be numbered from 000 through
255. Leading zeroes, up to 3 digits total per fi eld, are optional. Values of 256 and
above are invalid.
The default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this confl icts with other equipment at
your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.

immediately disconnect the user from the matrix switcher. Extron recommends

access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualifi ed and
