Extron electronics SSP 200 - Ethernet (LAN) Port

SSP 200 • SIS Configuration and Control 63
Ethernet (LAN) Port
The rear panel LAN connector (see figure3 on page6) on the device can be
connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. Communications between the SSP 200 and
the controlling device is via an SSH client using port 22023. The SIS commands and the
actions of the SSP 200 are identical to the commands and actions the processor has when
communicating with it via RS‑232.
By default, Telnet communication on TCP port 23 is disabled on the SSP 200. You can use
Telnet by setting the port using Dataviewer (see Connection Options on page62) with
SIS commands (see Set Telnet port map on page71).
LAN port defaults:

off
SSP 200 IP address:
192.168.254.254
Subnet mask:
255.255.0.0
Gateway IP address:

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7 on page8 for the
Ethernet connector pin assignment).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the SSP.
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the SSP to an Ethernet LAN.
Establish a network connection to a SSP 200 processor via an SSH client:
1. Download the SSH client software.
2. Open the SSH software.
3. Enter the IP address of the SSP 200 in the Host Name or IP address field.
NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the default IP
address is 192.168.254.254.
4. Enter 22023 in the Port field.
5. The SSP 200 is password protected, so the appropriate administrator or user name and
password must be entered.
a. Enter admin or user.
b. Enter the password next to the Password prompt).
• If the login and password are correct, the device responds with a copyright
message including the copyright year, the name of the product, firmware
version, part number, and the current date and time.
• If the login and password are incorrect, the login prompt returns. Enter the
administrator or user name and password again.
NOTES:
• The SSP 200 is shipped password‑protected. The factory configured
passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial
number
• In the event of a complete system reset, the passwords convert to the default,
which is extron. New passwords must be configured to secure the device.
