Establishing a Network Connection

To send SIS commands over Ethernet, connect any one of the AXP 64 rear panel AT
connectors to the network to which your computer or control device is connected. For
connection, use a straight-through Ethernet cable. To enter and issue commands from the
computer, use a host communication utility such as Extron DataViewer. Communication is
via a TCP/IP socket to the IP address of the AXP 64, using port 4333.
To connect the computer to the AXP via the network, you need the IP address of the
AXP. You can find the address by connecting the AXP to Dante, which provides a list IP
addresses of all devices connected to it.
NOTE: In order to find the IP address of a connected Dante AXP device, you need
