Ethernet Link

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher (figure 4-3) 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 or WAN.

Ethernet connection

The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (figure 4-3) 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 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 front panel (see “View Comm Settings menu” in chapter 3, “Operation and Setup”) or the Ping utility (see “Ping to determine the switcher’s IP address” or “Ping to determine Extron IP address” in appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”, for more details). If the address has not been changed, the factory-specified default is 192.168.254.254.

Symbols

Symbols (X/ values), defined on page 4-4, are used throughout the discussions of the switcher- initiated messages that begin on the next page and the command/response table that begins on page 4-8. The symbols represent variables in the switcher-initiated messages and the command/response table fields.
