Pinging for the IP Address
To access the DXP switcher via the Ethernet port, you need the switcher IP address. If the
address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, the actual
numeric IP address can be determined 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 DXP
switcher.
