Ethernet Connection
PRELIMINARY
Ethernet Link
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the
CrossPoint 450 Plus and
MAV Plus switcher BMEs
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. Although for normal system
control, the connection is to BME 0, you can connect to and communicate with any
BME (for example, you connect to other BMEs to perform a fi rmware upgrade).
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 (fi gure A-1).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and switcher
BME (usually BME 0)
• Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of a switcher BME (usually
BME 0) to an Ethernet LAN.

Default address
To access BME 0 via the Ethernet port, you need the switcher’s IP address. If the
address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters (an
alias), you can determine the actual numeric IP address using the Ping utility. If the
address has not been changed, the factory-specifi ed default is 192.168.254.254.
Ping can also be used to test the Ethernet link to any CrossPoint 450 Plus or
MAV Plus switcher BME
.
