Default address
To access the MVX Plus 128 switcher 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, 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 the MVX Plus
128 switcher.
