Changing Channel Names
To change the name of a given channel, double le-click the desired Input Source channel and enter
the name of your choice.
Connect to the network
To connect your MXwall to the network, rst connect an ethernet cable from your network access
point to the RJ45 jack on the back of the MXwall. You will need to enter the desired IP address and
default gateway either on the Setup page of the front panel (see page 7) or from the Connecon
Sengs tab of the soware manager (see page 13).
To determine your default gateway and applicable IP address range on a Windows PC, rst connect the
Windows PC to the same network as the MXwall, then open the command prompt program and enter
“ipcong”. Your PC’s IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway will be shown in a manner
similar to the screenshot below. From the MXwall soware or front panel, enter the Default Gateway
address, and then enter an IP address on the same subnet. For example, if my Default Gateway is
192.168.50.1 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then all devices on the network will have an IP
address of the form 192.168.50.X. Two devices on the same network cannot use the same IP address
at the same me. Since my IP address is 192.168.50.138, I could give my MXwall an IP address
of 192.168.50.139. If you have many devices on your network, check your router for available IP
addresses before assigning one to your device and then, from the router, consider applying a stac
lease to the MXwall’s IP address so that it does not change.
