IP Settings fields
The IP Settings fields provide a location for viewing and editing settings unique
to the Ethernet interface. After editing any of the settings on this page, click the
Submit
button at the bottom of the page.
Unit Name field
The Unit Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the
switcher e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. This name field can be
changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.
N The following characters are invalid in the matrix name:
+ ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
DHCP radio buttons
The DHCP On radio button directs the switcher to ignore any entered IP addresses
and to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server (if the network is DHCP capable). The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP
off. Contact the local system administrator to determine if DHCP is appropriate.
IP Address field
The IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected switcher. This value
is encoded in the switcher’s flash memory.
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 factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with
other equipment at your installation, you should ask your network administrator
for a new, valid address.
N IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system
administrators should change IP addresses.
Gateway IP Address field
The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail
server to be used if the switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address.
Subnet Mask field
The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the switcher is on the same
subnet as the mail server when you are subnetting. For more information, see
“Subnetting — A Primer”, in appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”.
MAC Address field
The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot
be changed.
Firmware field
The Firmware field identifies the installed firmware version. This field is
hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be changed.
Model and Part Number fields
The Model and Part Number fields identify the switcher. These fields are
hardcoded in the switcher and cannot be changed.
