Default address
To access the ISS switcher via the Ethernet port, you will need the Extron ISS 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 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 ISS.
Ping to determine the switcher's IP address
The Microsoft Ping utility is available at the DOS prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet
interface between the computer and the ISS. Ping can also be used to determine the
actual numeric IP address from an alias and to determine the Web address.
Access the DOS prompt and Ping the switcher as follows:
1.
Click on Start > Run.
2.
At the Open prompt, type command.
3.
Click on the OK button.
4.
At the DOS prompt, type ping {IP address} and press [Enter]. The computer
returns a display similar to figure A-2.
The line Pinging ... reports the actual numeric IP address, regardless of
whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

Ping to determine Web IP address
The Ping utility has a modifier, -a, that directs the command to return the Web
address rather than the numeric IP address.
At the DOS prompt, type ping -a {IP address} and then press [Enter]. The
computer's return display is similar to the Ping response shown in figure A-2,
except that when you specify the -a modifier, the line Pinging mail... reports the
Web IP address rather than the numeric IP address, regardless of whether you
entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.
