Ethernet Connection

Ethernet Link

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus switcher BMEs 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. Although for normal system

control, the connection is to BME 0, you can connect to and communicate with any BME (for example, you connect to other BMEs to perform a firmware upgrade).

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 switcher BME (usually BME 0)

Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of a switcher BME (usually BME 0) to an Ethernet LAN.

Default address

To access BME 0 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 (an alias), you can determine the actual numeric IP address 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 any CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher BME.
