LAN/PoE (Ethernet)
Default protocol:
• IPL IP address: 192.168.254.250
• Gateway IP address: 0.0.0.0
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• DNS address: 127.0.0.1
• DHCP: off
• Link speed and duplex level:
autodetected
• Data rates: 10/100/1000Base-T
Power over Ethernet (PoE):
If PoE is available, the IPL uses PoE.
If PoE is dropped (disconnects), the
IPL switches seamlessly to the
external 12 VDC power supply, if it
is installed.
Default login credentials:
• Username: admin
• Password: extron
The control processor is assigned a unique user hardware ID number (MAC address) (for example,
00-05-A6-05-1C-A0). You may need this address during configuration of the control processor. A
label that indicates the MAC address is located on the rear panel of the unit.
NOTE: The supported serial formats
vary depending on the COM port,
as shown at right.
