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.

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.

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
