Ethernet (LAN) Port

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. Communications between the switcher and the controlling device is via telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The TCP port can be changed

if necessary. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and actions of the switcher are identical to the commands and actions the switcher has when communicating to it via RS-232.

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 4-3).

•Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the MTPX Plus switcher.

•Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of the MTPX Plus switcher to an Ethernet LAN.
