changed, the factory-specified defaults are:

Establishing a Connection

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and
must be properly terminated for your application (see
Communication
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the device.
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the device to an Ethernet LAN.
To establish a network connection to the device:
1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the DMP 64 Plus IP address.
NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory
specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.
2. The device responds with a copyright message including the date, the name of the
product, firmware version, part number, and the current date/time.
3. If the device is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user
password.
a. If the password is accepted, the device responds with Login User or
Login Administrator.
If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.
b.
NOTE: The factory configured password for this device has been set to the device serial
number. Passwords are case sensitive.
Connection Timeouts
The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time with no communication. By
default, this timeout value is 5 minutes, but the value can be changed (see
port timeout
NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically
issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are long idle
periods, disconnect the socket and reopen the connection when another command
must be sent.
