Local Host-Control Ports; Ethernet (Lan) Port; Default Ip Addresses - Extron electronics XTP II CrossPoint 1600 User Manual

Local Host-Control Ports

The switcher has two local ports that can be directly connected to a host device such as
a computer running the Extron DataViewer utility or a control system. These ports make
remote control of the switcher possible using a direct connection. The local ports are:
•
•

Ethernet (LAN) Port

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and
must be properly terminated for your application (see
•
•

Default IP addresses

To access the XTP II CrossPoint switcher via the LAN port, you need the IP address for the
unit, 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
details). If the addresses have not been changed, the factory-specified defaults are:
•
•
•
The rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port, a serial port on a 9-pin D female
connector (see item on page 27)
C
NOTES:
• The rear panel and front panel ports are independent of one another. A front
panel Configuration port connection and a rear panel Remote port connection
can be active at the same time.
• The serial port protocol of the rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port is:
•
9600 baud
• No flow control
• See Selecting the Rear Panel Remote Port Protocol and Baud Rate
on page 64 to configure the rear panel Remote port from the front panel.
• Extron recommends leaving the Remote RS-232/RS-422 port at 9600 baud.
The front panel Configuration port, a mini USB B port (see
standard USB cable and the Extron DataViewer utility, version 2.0 or newer, can be
used for connection to the Configuration port.
NOTE: Before you use the Configuration (USB) port for the first time, you need to
install and activate the USB driver on your computer. The simplest way to do this
is to install and run the XTP System Configuration software (see the XTP System
Configuration Software help file, available at www.extron.com).
Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the
