Ethernet Link

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher can be connected to an Ethernet

LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a

computer connected to the same LAN or WAN.

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

MVX Plus 128 switcher.

Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of the MVX Plus 128 switcher

to an Ethernet LAN.

Default IP addresses

To access the MVX Plus 128 switcher via the LAN port, you need the Extron

IP address, and may need the subnet mask and the gateway address. If the IP

address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, you

can determine the actual numeric IP address using the ping (ICMP) utility (see

appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”, for more details). If the addresses have not

been changed, the factory-specified defaults are:

• IP address

192.168.254.254

• Subnet mask

255.255.0.0

• Gateway address 0.0.0.0
