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 three digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
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
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

NOTES:
The address fields are unavailable when the Use DHCP check box is selected.

disconnect the user from the FOX matrix switcher. Extron recommends editing this
field using one of the serial ports and protecting the Ethernet access by assigning
an administrator password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.
