Default address
To access the MVX Plus 128 VGA A 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, 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 the MVX Plus 128 VGA A switcher.
