Setting the IP address
The Matrix IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected matrix switcher.
This value is encoded in the flash memory on the switcher.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric sub-fields separated by periods.
Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeros, up to three digits total
per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
The default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other equipment, you can
change the IP address to any valid value.
Edit the address field as follows:
1. Click in the Matrix IP Address field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.
2. Make any desired changes to the address.
3. Press the <Tab> key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Matrix IP
Address field.
4. Click the Take button for the address change to take effect.
NOTE: Editing the IP Address field while connected via Ethernet can immediately
disconnect your computer from the DXP. It is recommended that you connect via
RS-232 or RS-422 to edit this field.

when the DXP switcher e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. The default name
or descriptor shown in this field is a portion of your product name, followed by the last six
characters of the unit MAC address (for example, DXP-DVI/HDMI-05-A6-2D).
This descriptor can be changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters or
hyphens.
NOTE: The following characters are invalid or not recommended in the Extron Name/
Descriptor field: + ~ , @
{space}.

cursor.

Name/Descriptor field.

to be used if the DXP switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet (see "Setting
the IP address" for the valid address format).
