Ethernet Connection
Ethernet Link
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the CrossPoint 450 Plus and
MAV Plus switcher BMEs 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. Although for normal system control, the
connection is to BME 0, you can connect to and communicate with any BME (for
example, you connect to other BMEs to perform a firmware upgrade).
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 A-1).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and switcher
• Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of a switcher BME (usually

Default IP address
To access the matrix switcher BME via the LAN port, you need the switcher's IP
address. If the address has been changed to an address comprised of words and
characters, you can determine the actual numeric IP address 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 LAN port of any CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus
switcher BME.
Pinging to determine the Extron IP address
The Ping utility is available at the DOS prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet interface
between the computer and a switcher BME (usually BME 0). 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:

and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
