Ethernet Link
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher (figure 4-3) 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.
A cable that is wired as T568A at one end
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable wired the same at both ends is
called a "straight-through" cable, because
no pin/pair assignments are swapped.

Ethernet connection
The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (figure 4-3)
and must be properly terminated for your application:
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the ISS to an Ethernet hub, router, or
switch that also hosts a controlling computer
•
Crossover cable — Direct connection between the ISS and a computer
Default address
To access the switcher via the LAN port, you need the switcher’s 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 front panel (see
“View and
Edit Communications Settings menu”
in chapter 3, “Operation”) or the Ping utility
(see “
Ping to determine the switcher’s IP address” or “Ping to determine the Web
IP address” in
appendix A
, “Ethernet Connection”, for more details). If the address
has not been changed, the factory-specified default is 192.168.254.254.
