On password-protected connections, there are two levels of protection:
administrator and user. Administrators have access to all Matrix 12800 switching
capabilities and editing functions. Users can create ties, create and recall presets,
set RGB and audio mutes, and view all settings with the exception of passwords.
The administration fields on the system configuration page are for entering and
verifying administrator and user passwords. Passwords are case sensitive and are
limited to 12 upper case and lower case alphanumeric characters. Each password
mustbeenteredtwice;onceinthepasswordeldandthenrepeatedinthere-enter
password field. Characters in these fields are masked by asterisks (*****). If you do
not want to password protect an access level, leave the password field and the re-
enter password field blank. After entering the desired password in both fields, click
the Submit button.
To delete a password, type a single space in the enter and re-enter field and click
the Submit button.
Matrix IP etting eld
The system IP settings fields provide a location for observing and editing settings
unique to the Ethernet interface. After editing any of the settings on this page, click
the Submit button.
Name eld
The Matrix Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the
Matrix 12800 e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. This name field can
be changed to any valid name, up to 12 alphanumeric characters.
IP Address eld
The IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected BME. This value is
encoded in the flash memory on the primary and redundant controller circuit cards.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields 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, you can change the IP address to any valid value.
Gateway IP Address eld
The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail
server to be used if the Matrix 12800 and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the IP address.
Subnet Mask eld
The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the Matrix 12800 is on the
same subnet as the mail server when you are subnetting.
Hardware Address eld
The Hardware Address field is hardcoded on the primary controller card in BME 0
and cannot be changed.
