Configuration Pages

The Configuration pages allow System settings (e.g. IP address, Date/time etc.),
Passwords (Admin and User), and E-mail settings (Mail addresses etc.) to be
configured as desired. Additionally by selecting the Firmware Upgrade link the
current firmware can be upgraded.

System Settings page

The SMX switcher displays the System Settings page (figure 6-5) when you click the
Configuration tab. The screen consists of fields in which you can view and edit IP
administration and system settings. See appendix A, Ethernet Connection, for basic
information about IP addresses and subnetting.

On password-protected connections, there are two levels of protection:
administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all switching capabilities
and editing functions. Users can create ties, create and recall presets, and view all
settings with the exception of passwords.
• Ethernet connection to the switcher, either entering SIS commands (see
chapter 4, "Programmer's Guide") or using the Matrix Switcher Control
Program (see chapter 5, SMX "Control Software") is password protected.
• Connection via the RS-232/RS-422 port is not password protected.

IP Settings fields

The IP Settings fields provide a location for viewing and editing settings unique
to the Ethernet interface. After editing any of the settings on this page, click the
Submit button at the bottom of the IP Settings section.
