ISS 506 Integration Seamless Switcher • HTML Operation
IP Address eld
The IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected switcher. This value
is encoded in the switcher’s flash memory.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields, properly called
octets, separated by dots (periods). Each octet 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.
The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with
other equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid
value.
N
IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system
administrators should change IP addresses.
Gateway IP Address eld
The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail
server to be used if the 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 eld
The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the switcher is on the same
subnet as the mail server when you are subnetting. For more information, see
“Subnetting — A Primer”, in appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”.
MAC Address eld
The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is hardcoded in the switcher and cannot
be changed.
Date/Time Settings fields
