3. If you selected IP [LAN] in step 2, the IP Connection window appears.

a. Examine the Matrix IP Address field, which displays the last Matrix IP address entered.

If necessary, enter the correct IP address in the field.

N192.168.254.254 is the factory-specified default value for this field.

b. If the switcher is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user password in the Password field.

Accessing the HTML Pages

Another way to operate the switcher is via its factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten. The switcher’s HTML pages are accessible through its LAN port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. See h on page 2-5, for connection information.

Configuring for Network Communication

The first time you connect a PC to a switcher BME via its LAN port, you may need to temporarily change the PC’s IP settings in order to communicate with the controller. Then you must change the controller’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator name and password) in order to use the unit on an intranet (LAN) or on the Internet. After you have set up the CrossPoint or MAV switcher BME for network communication, you can reset the PC to its original network configuration.

NThe computer and the switcher BME must both be connected to the same subnet on a LAN (using a straight- through cable). Alternatively, you can use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the controller directly to the computer.

Use the ARP command to configure the IP address as follows:

1.	Obtain a valid IP address for the CrossPoint or MAV
	switcher BME from the network administrator.
2.	Obtain the switcher BME’s MAC address (UID #) from the
	label on its rear panel. The MAC address should have this
	format: 00-05-A6-xx-xx-xx.
3.	If the switcher BME has never been configured and is
	still set for factory defaults, go to step 4. If not, perform
	a Mode 4 system reset. For detailed information
	on reset modes, see “Rear Panel Operations” in the
	CrossPoint 450 Plus / MAV Plus Switcher User's Manual.

NThe switcher BME must be configured with the factory default IP address (192.168.254.254) before the ARP command is executed, as described below.

4. At the PC, access the MS-DOS command prompt, then enter the arp –scommand. Type in the desired new IP address for the unit (obtained in step 1) and the unit’s MAC address (from the unit's rear panel). For example: arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0and then press {Enter}.
