CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Switchers • Programmer’s Guide4-4
Ethernet Link
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher can be connected to an Ethernet
LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a
computer connected to the same LAN or WAN.
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 (figure 4-2).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the
CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher.
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus
switcher to an Ethernet LAN.

Default IP addresses
To access the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher via the Ethernet port, you
will need the Extron IP address, 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, the actual numeric IP address can be determined using the ping (ICMP)
utility (see appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”, for more details). If the addresses
have not been changed, the factory-specified defaults are:
• IP address 192.168.254.254 • Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
• Gateway address 0.0.0.0
