4. At the DOS prompt, type ping {IP address} and then press Enter . The computer returns a display similar to as shown below.

The line Pinging ... reports the actual numeric IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

C:\>ping 192.168.254.254

Pinging 192.168.254.254 with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 192.168.254.254:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

Pinging to determine the Web IP address

The Ping utility has a modifier, -a, that directs the command to return the Web address rather than the numeric IP address.

At the DOS prompt, type ping -a {IP address} and then press Enter . The computer’s return display is similar to the Ping response shown in the figure above, except that when you specify the -amodifier, the line Pinging mail... reports the web IP address rather than the numeric IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

Configuring the matrix switcher BME for network use via the ARP command

The ARP (address resolution protocol) command tells your computer to associate the matrix switcher BME’s MAC (media access control) address with the assigned IP address. You must then use the ping utility to access the controller, at which point the controller’s IP address is reconfigured.

Use ARP to configure the IP address as follows:

1.Obtain a valid IP address for the matrix switcher BME from your network administrator.

2.Obtain the 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 matrix switcher BME has never been configured and is still set for factory defaults, proceed to step 4. If not, perform a Mode 4 system reset and then proceed to step 4. For detailed information on reset modes, see “Performing soft system resets (reset modes 3, 4, and 5)” in chapter 3, “Operation”.

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