XTP CrossPoint Series • Ethernet Connection 152
Ethernet Connection
This section provides a high level discussion of the Ethernet connection to the matrix
switcher and a primer on the subject of subnetting. Topics that are covered, include:
•
•
Ethernet Link
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher can be
connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the matrix
switcher possible using a computer or control system connected to the same LAN.
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 (see figure 80).
•
Crossover cable
— Direct connection between the computer and the
XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher
•
Patch (straight-through) cable
— Connection of the XTP CrossPoint Series matrix
switcher to an Ethernet LAN

Default IP Address
To access the XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher via the LAN port, you need the
IP address of the matrix switcher. 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 Ethernet link to the XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher.
