Extron electronic DMS 3200, DMS 3600 Number of connections, Establishing a USB Port Connection

Page 11

Number of connections

A switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including all HTTP sockets and Telnet connections. When the connection limit is reached, the switcher accepts no new connections until some have been closed. No error message or indication is given that the connection limit has been reached. To maximize the performance of your switcher, keep the number of connections low and close unnecessary open sockets.

Establishing a USB Port Connection

A standard USB cable and the Extron DataViewer utility, version 2.0 or newer, can be used for connection to the DMS matrix switcher Configuration port. The USB cable, available at any local electronics store, should be terminated on one end with a mini USB B male connector

NOTE: Before you use the USB port for the first time, install the USB driver on your computer. The simplest way to do this is to install version 8.0 or newer of the Matrix Switchers Control Program and then run the Found New Hardware Wizard (see Installing the Program on page 21 and First-time Connection Considerations on page 22).

Host-to-Switcher Instructions

The switcher accepts SIS commands through its serial port, its USB port, or its LAN port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

NOTE: The table that begins on the next page is a partial list of SIS commands. For a complete listing, see the DMS Series Matrix Switcher User Guide, available on the Extron DVD or at www.extron.com.

Common SIS Command Symbols

The following symbols are used throughout the command and response table, which starts on the next page:

= Space

]

= Carriage return and line feed

}

= Carriage return (no line feed)

= Pipe (can be used interchangeably with the } character)

E= Escape key (hex 1B)

W = Can be used interchangeable with the E character
