IP Settings fi elds
The IP Settings fi elds provide a location for viewing and editing settings unique
to the Ethernet interface. After editing any of the settings on this page, click the
Submit button at the bottom of the page.
Unit Name fi eld
The Unit Name fi eld contains the name used as the “from” information when the
switcher e-mails notifi cation of its failed or repaired status. This name fi eld can be
changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.
N
The following characters are invalid in the matrix name:
+ ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
DHCP radio buttons
The DHCP On radio button directs the switcher to ignore any entered IP addresses
and to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol (DHCP)
server (if the network is DHCP capable). The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP
off. Contact the local system administrator.
IP Address fi eld
The IP Address fi eld contains the IP address of the connected switcher. This value
is encoded in the switcher’s fl ash memory.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric octets separated by dots
(periods). Each fi eld can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to
3 digits total per fi eld, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this confl icts with
other equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid
value.
N
IP address changes can cause confl icts with other equipment. Only local system
administrators should change IP addresses.
Gateway IP Address fi eld
The Gateway IP Address fi eld identifi es 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.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address.
Subnet Mask fi eld
The Subnet Mask fi eld 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, in Appendix A, Ethernet Connection.
MAC Address fi eld
The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot
be changed.
