Address Fields (DHCP Not Selected)
The IP Address field (
2
) contains the IP address of the connected matrix switcher. This
value is encoded in the flash memory in the switcher.
The Subnet Mask field (
3
) is used to determine whether the matrix switcher is on the same
subnet as the controlling PC when you are subnetting.
The Default Gateway field (
4
) 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.
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 350 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
• Subnet mask
192.168.254.254
255.255.0.0
• Gateway address 0.0.0.0
The MAC Address (
5
) is hardcoded in the matrix switcher and cannot be changed.
