IP Setup
The IP Settings/Options window (see figure 78) lets you view and, if connected via the
RS-232 or RS-422 link or if you are logged on via the Ethernet port as an administrator,
editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. None of the fields on this screen can

NOTES:
• Editing the following fields on the IP Settings/Options screen while connected via
the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect your computer from the switcher:
• IP Address
• Gateway IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Use DHCP
• Administration Password
Extron recommends editing the settings on this screen using the
RS-232 or RS-422 link 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 HDXP via the RS-232 or RS-422
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, if desired, change a password in this window without knowing the current
password.
See Setting an IP Address on page 113 for basic information about IP addresses.
