4-3ISS 408 Integration Seamless Switcher • Programmer’s Guide

Ethernet connection

The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (figure 4-2)
and must be properly terminated for your application:
•Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the ISS to an Ethernet hub, router, or
switcher that also hosts a controlling computer
•Crossover cable — Direct connection between the ISS 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" in chapter 3, Operation) or the Ping utility (see
“Pinging to determine
the switcher’s IP address” or “Pinging to determine the Web 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 (
Xn
values), defined below, 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 4-9. The symbols represent variables in the
switcher-initiated messages and the command/response table fields.
