Extron electronics XTP CrossPoint1600 - Subnet Mask Field

XTP CrossPoint Series • HTML Operation 127
Unit Name field
The Unit Name field (see figure 59 on the previous page,
3
) contains the name used as
the “from” information when the matrix switcher e-mails notification of its failed or repaired
status. This name field can be any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.
NOTE: The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions (see
Special Characters on page 120).
DHCP radio buttons
The DHCP On radio button (
4
) 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). The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off.
Contact the local system administrator to determine if DHCP is appropriate.
IP Address field
The IP Address field (
5
) contains the IP address of the connected matrix switcher. This
value is encoded in the blink memory of the matrix switcher.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric octets 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 factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other
equipment, you should ask your network administrator for a new, valid address.
NOTE: IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system
administrators should change IP addresses.
Gateway IP Address field
The Gateway IP Address field (
6
) identifies the address of the gateway to the mail server
to be used if the matrix 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 field
The Subnet Mask field (
7
) is used to determine whether the matrix switcher is on the same
subnet as the mail server when you are subnetting. For more information, see Subnetting
— A Primer, beginning on page 157.
MAC Address field
The Media Access Control (MAC) Address listing (
8
) is hardcoded in the matrix switcher
and can be changed only as part of a firmware update.
Firmware field
The Firmware field identifies (
9
) the installed firmware version. This field is hardcoded in
the matrix switcher and cannot be changed.
Model field
The Model field (
¢
) identifies the number of video and audio inputs and outputs. This field
is hardcoded in the matrix switcher and cannot be changed.
Part Number field
The Part Number field (
£
) identifies the part number of your matrix switcher. This field is
hardcoded in the matrix switcher and cannot be changed.
