Ethernet Connection
The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (see figure 27) and must be properly terminated for your application:
•Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the ISM to an Ethernet hub, router, or switcher that also hosts a controlling computer
•Crossover cable — Direct connection between the ISM and a computer
Default Address
To access the switcher via the Ethernet port, you need the switcher’s IP address. If the address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, the actual numeric IP address can be determined using the front panel (see IP Information on page 27) or the Ping utility (see Pinging to Determine the Switcher IP Address or Ping to determine the Web IP address on page 70 for more details). If the address has not been changed, the
