DHCP radio button
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. The default selection
is 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 flash memory of the switcher.
Standard IP protocol consists of addresses comprised 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 can change the IP address to any valid value.
NOTE: 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. Standard IP protocol
rules apply to the Gateway 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, on page 113.
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 without updating the firmware.
Model field
The Model field identifies the number of inputs and outputs. This field is hardcoded in the
switcher and cannot be changed.
Part Number field
The Part Number field identifies the part number of your switcher. This field is hardcoded in
the switcher and cannot be changed.
