Default IP address
To access the Fiber Matrix 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, you can determine the actual numeric IP address 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 Fiber Mat
rix switcher.
