Ethernet Connection; Default Ip AddresSEs - Extron electronics Matrix 12800 Wideband video User Manual

Ethernet (LAN) Port
The rear panel Ethernet connector (figure 4-2) on the matrix switcher BME 0 can
be connected to the an Ethernet LAN or WAN. Communication between the
switcher and the controlling device is via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). This
connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a computer connected
to the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and behavior of the product
are identical to the commands and behavior the product exhibits when you are
communicating with it via a serial port.

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 4-3).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the switcher and a controlling
computer
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the switcher to an Ethernet LAN

Default IP addresses

To access the Matrix 12800 switcher via the Ethernet port, you need the Matrix
IP Address, 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
