Extron electronics DTP CrossPoint 4K Series - Update the Firmware

DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • HTML Pages 156
Valid addresses consist 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 octet, are optional. Values of 256 and above are
invalid. For more information on all of these fields, see the IPCP Pro Series User Guide at
www.extron.com.
The default addresses are as follows, but if these conflict with other equipment at your
installation, you can change the addresses to any valid value:
• IP address 192.168.254.254 • Gateway address 0.0.0.0
• Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
The MAC Address (see figure 84 on the previous page,
5
) is hardcoded in the matrix
switcher and cannot be changed.
Edit any of these changeable fields as follows:
NOTE: The address fields cannot be edited when DHCP is selected.
1. Click in the desired field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.
2. Edit the address or name as desired.
3. Press the <Tab> key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the field.
4. Click the Apply button (
7
) to make the address change take affect.
Use DHCP Check box
The Use DHCP check box (
6
) directs the matrix 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). Contact the local system administrator to determine if this
is the appropriate selection. Click the Apply button (
7
) to make check box changes take
affect.
Update the Firmware
Click the Update button in the Device Info panel (see figure 85) to open the Firmware
Update dialog box. The dialog box provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded in
the switcher without removing it from the system.
