The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or

Default IP Address
To access the MTPX Plus matrix switcher via the LAN port, you need the IP address of the
switcher. 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 MTPX Plus matrix switcher.
