IP Settings/Options window
The IP Settings/Options window (figure 5-7) provides a location for viewing and,
if connected via either serial port or if you are logged on via the LAN port as an
administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See appendix A,
“Ethernet Connection”, for basic information about IP addresses. You cannot edit
any of the fields on this screen while you are logged on as a user.
N Editing variables on the IP Settings/Options screen while connected via the
LAN port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron
recommends editing the settings on this screen using a serial port and protecting
the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to
qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

N When the control program is connected to the switcher via a serial port, the
Administrator and User Password fields 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 field
The Matrix IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected matrix
switcher. This value is encoded in the flash memory in the switcher.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields, properly called
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 default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other equipment
at your installation, consult with the network administrator to get a new, valid
address.
N Editing the Matrix IP address while connected via the LAN port can
immediately disconnect the user from the matrix switcher. Extron recommends
editing this field using the a serial port and protecting the Ethernet access to this
screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable
personnel only.
