Establishing a Network (Ethernet) Connection

You can send SIS commands over an Ethernet link (rear panel RJ-45 LAN port) or a serial connection (front panel Config port or rear panel Remote RS232/RS422 port). The network connection procedure is described below; for information about the serial connection, see the DXP DVI Pro and DXP HDMI Series User Guide.

Establish a network connection as follows:

1.Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the switcher IP address.

NOTE: The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.

The switcher responds with a message consisting of the copyright date, the name of the product, firmware version, part number, and the current date and time.

Example (with an Internet connection):

(c)Copyright 20nn, Extron Electronics DXP DVI-HDMI, Vn.nn, 60-nnnn-01]

Ddd, DD Mmm YYYY HH:MM:SS]

NOTES: • If the switcher is not password-protected, the device is now

ready to accept SIS commands.

• If the switcher is password-protected, a password prompt appears.

2.If the switcher is password-protected, enter the appropriate password.

3.If the password is accepted, the switcher responds with Login User or Login Administrator.

4.If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.
