Pinging to determine Extron IP address
The Microsoft ® Ping utility is available at the Command prompt. Ping tests the
Ethernet interface between the computer and the CrossPoint or MAV switcher.
Ping can also be used to determine the actual numeric IP address from an alias and
to determine the web address.
Ping the switcher as follows:
On the Windows taskbar, click on Start > Run.
1.
2. At the Open prompt, type command.
3. Click the OK button.
4. At the Command prompt, type ping {IP address} and then 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.

Pinging 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 Command 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.
