Ethernet Port

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher can be connected to an Ethernet LAN
or WAN. Communication between the switcher and the controlling device can be via Extron
DataViewer or Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The Telnet port can be changed, if
necessary, via SIS. For information on connecting via Telnet, see
Client
The Ethernet connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a computer
connected to the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and behavior of the product are
identical to the commands and behavior the product exhibits when you are communicating
with it via a serial port.

Ethernet Cable

The Ethernet cable must be properly terminated for your application as either a straight-
through cable or a crossover cable. For pin assignments for these cables, see
Connection

Default IP Addresses

To access the DXP switcher via the Ethernet port, obtain the IP address of the switcher (and
the subnet mask and gateway address if needed) from your network administrator. 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
page 125 for more details). If the addresses have not been changed, the factory-specified
defaults are:

Establishing an Ethernet Connection

Establish a network connection to a DXP switcher as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
on page 128.
on page 9.
IP address: 192.168.254.254
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway address: 0.0.0.0
Open a TCP connection to port 23, using the IP address of the switcher. A variety of
methods are available for making this connection, including Telnet or utilities such as
Extron DataViewer.
The switcher responds with a copyright message that includes the date, the name of
the product, firmware version, part number, and the current date and time.
NOTES:
• If the switcher is not password-protected, the device is ready to accept SIS
commands immediately after it sends the copyright message.
• If the switcher is password-protected, a Password prompt appears below the
copyright message.
If the switcher is password-protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user
password.
If the password is accepted, the switcher responds with Login User or Login
Administrator.
If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.
