IP Settings/Options Window
The IP Settings/Options window (click Tools > IP options, see figure 20) provides a
location for viewing and, if connected via either serial port or if logged on via the Ethernet
port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See Ethernet
Connection on page 82 for basic information about IP addresses. None of the fields on this
screen can be edited while you are logged on as a user.
Figure 20. Control Program IP Setting/Options Window
NOTES:
• Editing variables in the IP Settings/Options window while connected via the Ethernet
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 password to qualified and
knowledgeable personnel only.
• When the control program is connected to the switcher via the RS-232 link,
the Administrator Password and User Password fields are not masked. If a
password has been inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can look up
and change a password in this window without knowing the current password.
Address and Name fields
• 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.
• The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the controlling
PC to be used if the matrix switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
• The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the matrix switcher is on the
same subnet as the controlling PC when you are subnetting. For more information, see
Subnetting — A Primer on page 87.
• The
Mail
Server
IP
Address
field displays the IP address of the mail server that
handles the e-mail for the facility in which the FOX matrix switcher is installed.
Valid 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 three digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
