Extron electronics DTP CrossPoint 84 - USB Port; Ethernet (LAN) Ports

DTP CrossPoint 84 Series Matrix Switchers • Programming Guide 52
USB Port
The front panel Configuration port (see figure16 on page21) is a standard USB port. A
USB cable, terminated on one end with a USB mini-B male connector, is available at any
local electronics store.
Ethernet (LAN) Ports
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and
must be properly terminated for your application (see LAN port [non-IPCP model] or IPCP
Pro 350 processor [IPCP models] both on page15).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the DTP CrossPoint
switcher.
• Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of the DTP CrossPoint switcher to an
Ethernet LAN or direct connection between the computer and switcher.
Default IP addresses
To access the DTP 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 for the DTP CrossPoint using the ping (ICMP) utility (for all control
access information for the IPCP Pro 350, see the IPCP Pro 350 Series User Guide at
www.extron.com for more details).
If the addresses have not been changed, the factory-specified defaults are:
DTP CrossPoint 84 IPCP Pro 350
• IP address 192.168.254.254 192.168.254.250
• Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 255.255.255.0
• Gateway address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
NOTE: For IPCP models:
• The values listed above are the same for all three LAN ports.
• The LAN ports give access to either the DTP CrossPoint or the built-in
IPCP Pro 350 control processor.
• The unused ports function as a simple, multiport, unmanaged network switch so
that you can connect additional devices to the same network.
Establishing a connection
Establish a network connection to a DTP CrossPoint switcher as follows:
1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the IP address of the switcher.
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.
The switcher responds with a copyright message including the name of the product,
firmware version, part number, and the current date and time.
