Ethernet connection
The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (figure 4-3)
and must be properly terminated for your application:
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the ISM to an Ethernet hub, router, or
switcher that also hosts a controlling computer
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the ISM and a computer
Default address
To access the switcher via the LAN port, you need the switcher’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 front panel (see “View
Comm Settings menu” in chapter 3, “Operation and Setup ”) or the Ping utility ( see
“Ping to determine the switcher’s IP address” or “Ping to determine Extron IP
address” in appendix A, “Ethernet Connection” , for more details). If the address
has not been changed, the factory-specified default is 192.168.254.254.
Symbols
Symbols (X/ values), defined on page 4-4, are used throughout the discussions of the switcher-
initiated messages that begin on the next page and the command/response table that begins
on page 4-8. The symbols represent variables in the switcher-initiated messages and the
command/response table fields.
