Ethernet (LAN) 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
is via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The Telnet port can be changed, if
necessary, via SIS. This 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 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).

Default IP addresses
To access the CrossPoint or MAV Plus 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
• Gateway address
• Subnet mask
