Extron electronic ISM 824 manual Ethernet Connection, Ping to determine Extron IP address

Ethernet Connection

Ethernet Link

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the ISM 824 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.

LAN LINK ACT

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 A-1).

•Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the ISM 824.

•Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the ISM 824 to an Ethernet LAN.

Default address

To access the ISM 824 via the LAN 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 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 ISM 824.

Ping to determine Extron IP address

The Microsoft Ping utility is available at the DOS prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet interface between the computer and the ISM 824. Ping can also be used to determine the actual numeric IP address from an alias and to determine the Web address.
