IP Settings/Options window
The IP Settings/Options window (click
Tools
>
IP options
, see figure 36) provides a
location for viewing and, if connected via the either serial port or if you are logged on via
the LAN port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See the
Ethernet Link section, beginning on page 117 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 36. 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 the
Subnetting — A Primer section on page 122.
• 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 octet 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.
