Ethernet

Connection

This section provides a high level discussion of the Ethernet connection to the switcher and a primer on the subject of subnetting. Topics that are covered, include:

•Ethernet Link

•Subnetting — A Primer

Ethernet Link

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the FOX matrix switcher can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a computer connected to the same LAN.

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 (see figure 70).

•Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the FOX matrix switcher

•Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of the FOX matrix 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.

7	White-brown	White-brown

8	Brown	Brown

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 Address

To access the FOX matrix switcher via the LAN port, you need the IP address of the switcher. If the address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, you can determine the actual numeric IP address using the ping utility. If the address has not been changed, the factory-specified default is 192.168.254.254.

Ping can also be used to test the Ethernet link to the FOX matrix switcher.
