Extron electronic IPI 100, IPI 200 manual Initial Configuration, Before you Begin

Initial Configuration

The IPI 100 Series units must be connected to a MLC 226 IP MediaLink controller with a valid IP address. See the MLC 226 IP User’s Manual for information about configuring the MLC controller’s IP address.

The IPI 200 Series units have a factory default IP address of 192.168.254.254. This IP address must be changed to an address that will operate on your local network.

There are three ways to change the IP address setting:

•Global Configurator

•IPI 200 Series unit’s embedded Web pages

•Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command

Before you Begin

1. Obtain a valid IP address for your IPI 200 Series device from your A/V system’s network administrator.

2. Write down the unit’s MAC address (a 12-digit number) found on a label on the rear panel of the unit (ex: 00-05-A6-01-0A-74).

3. If the unit’s IP address has been changed from the factory default (192.168.254.254), before setting a new IP address, the default IP address must be restored by performing a Mode 4 reset:
