IP and MAC Addresses

First, we need to “hang” the switcher on

the network. Each IP Link™ product from

Extron has a unique Medium Access Control

(MAC) address that is printed next to the

serial number on the product. This address,

along with an Internet Protocol (IP) address

assigned by the system administrator of the

network, will allow you to set up and conﬁg-

ure the switcher.

“ARP-PING”

Once you have an IP address, and you

have connected the switcher to an Ethernet

jack, we need to tell the switcher its “name”

(IP address). We do this by using the Address

Looking Under the Hood

At this point, you can close the DOS

Command Prompt, open up your browser

and type in the newly assigned IP address of

the switcher. Here you can “look inside” the

System 5 IP by viewing its embedded Web

page. (See Figure 1.)

Four tabs labeled Status, Conﬁguration,

File Management, and Control can be se-

lected to view or change the settings of the

switcher. The Control tab is where you may

remotely operate the System 5 IP in real time.

Service calls and help desk functions just got a

lot easier, and you only unpacked the switcher

a few minutes ago.

System 5 IP Conﬁguration Program

Many aspects of the System 5 IP can be

programmed via the embedded Web pages.

However, full conﬁguration is accomplished

via Extron’s free conﬁguration software. This

package can be downloaded from our Web

site, www.extron.com. (From the home page,

click on the Download tab, then search by

product name.) After downloading and install-

ing the software, launch Extron’s System 5 IP

Conﬁguration Program from the icon on your

computer’s desktop. You will be asked how you

would like to communicate with the switcher

and to specify its IP address. Click “IP (LAN)”

and type in the IP address in the IP address box.

The program opens to the User Mode screen.

Resolution Protocol (ARP) and Packet Internet

Grouper (PING) commands from the DOS

Command Line applet. Think of it as ARP-

PING. First, the ARP command will assign the

IP address to the MAC address. The syntax of

the ARP command is as follows: arp(space)-

s(space)IP address(space)MAC address (en-

ter). We can break down the ARP command

as shown:

arp –s = Command

10.1.2.246 = IP address you wish to assign to the

System 5 IP

00-05-a6-00-20-ce = Hardware MAC address

Second, the PING command is a utility that

tests network connections. It is used here to

set the IP address in the switcher. The PING

command is simply:

ping(space)IP address

ping = Command

10.1.2.246 = The IP ad-

dress we just assigned to

the switcher

NOTE: The ARP com-

mand only works if the

System 5 IP unit is at its

default address.

After you “ping” the

switcher, you should see

the ping statistics show-

ing that the command

was successful and the

time it took to commu-

nicate with the device.

System 5 IP System Switcher Conﬁguration

A Quick Guide to Setting Up the Flexible New System 5 IP

efore its ﬁrst use, an Extron System 5 IP System Switcher must be conﬁgured to interact with the

multitude of presentation displays, A/V sources, and room devices that are designed into classrooms and

conference rooms. Once conﬁgured, the System 5 IP puts the capability to monitor, schedule, and remotely

control these devices into one box. In addition, the System 5 IP and connected A/V devices can be remotely

managed from anywhere via the Internet. We refer to this capability as asset management. In this Tech Corner,

we will show how easy it is to place the System 5 IP on the network, use the System 5 IP Conﬁguration Program,

and gain the ability to remotely manage the elements in an installation.
