Ethernet (LAN) Port

The rear panel Ethernet connector (figure 4-2) on the matrix switcher BME 0 can be connected to the an Ethernet LAN or WAN. Communication between the switcher and the controlling device is via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and behavior of the product

are identical to the commands and behavior the product exhibits when you are communicating with it via a serial port.

Ethernet connection

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (figure 4-3).

•Crossover cable — Direct connection between the switcher and a controlling computer

•Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the switcher to an Ethernet LAN

A cable that is wired as T568A at one end and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs reversed) is a "crossover" cable.

A cable that is wired the same at both ends is called a "straight-through" cable, because no pin/pair assignments are swapped.

Default IP addressses

To access the Matrix 12800 switcher via the Ethernet port, you need the Matrix IP Address, and may need the subnet mask and the gateway address. If the IP address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, you can determine the actual numeric IP address using the ping (ICMP) utility (see appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”, for more details). If the addresses have not been changed, the factory-specified defaults are:

•	IP address	192.168.254.254	• Gateway address	0.0.0.0
•	Subnet mask	255.255.0.0
