Default address

To access the USP 507 via the Ethernet port, you need the unit’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 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 the USP 507.

Ping to determine Extron IP address

The ping utility is available at the command (Cmd) prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet interface between the computer and the USP 507. Ping can also be used to determine the actual numeric IP address from an alias and to determine the Web address.

Ping the device as follows:

1.	From the Windows Start menu, select Run... . The Run window opens.
2.	In the Open text field, enter command.
