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.
