6. After verifying that the IP address change was successful, enter and issue the arp –d
command at the C:\ prompt. For example:
arp –d 192.168.254.254 removes 192.168.254.254 from the ARP table
or
arp –d* removes all static IP addresses from the ARP table.
Connecting as a Telnet Client
The Microsoft Telnet utility is available from the C:\ prompt. Telnet allows you to input SIS
commands to the XTP II CrossPoint switcher from the PC via the Ethernet link and the LAN.
Access the C:\ prompt and start Telnet as follows:
1. Search for cmd in the taskbar (Windows 10) or the Start menu (Windows 10-Vista).
2. Select cmd.
3. At the C:\ prompt, type Telnet and then press <Enter>. The computer returns a
display similar to the one shown in figure 90.

Telnet Tips
It is not the intention of this guide to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet;
however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the XTP II CrossPoint
switcher via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the XTP II CrossPoint switcher using the Open command. Once you are
connected to the switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you would if you
were using the RS-232 of RS-422 link.
Connect to the XTP II CrossPoint switcher as follows:
1. At the Telnet prompt, type open <IP address> and then press <Enter>.
If the switcher is not password-protected, no further prompts are displayed until
you break or disconnect the connection to the matrix switcher.
If the switcher is password-protected, Telnet displays the password prompt.
2. If necessary, at the password prompt, type the appropriate password and then press
<Enter>.
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password-protected. There are
two levels of password protection: administrator and user. A person logged on as an
administrator has full access to all matrix switcher switching capabilities and editing
functions. Users can create ties, set mutes, and view all settings with the exception of
passwords. By default, the XTP II CrossPoint switcher is shipped with both passwords
set to <carriage return>.
