RS-232 connectors (master)

a Power connector — Plug the provided power cord into this connector to connect the MCP to a 100-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source.

b Switcher — Use this 9-pin connector for communication between the MCP 1000 and a comm port on the switcher that will be controlled by the MCP 1000.

c Host — Use this 9-pin connector for communication between the MCP 1000 and a comm port on the RS-232 controlling device or a computer with Extron’s control software for Windows installed.

CAUTION Do not use delay or pause characters (commands that delay execution of the next SIS command) in

RS-232 commands. Use contiguous SIS characters. The RS-232 connector uses the following pin assignments:

Pin Description

1Not used

2Transmit data

3Receive data

4Not used

5Signal ground

6Not used

7Not used

8Not used

9Not used

The protocol is 9600 baud, 8-bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.

Comm-link connectors (master or slave)

dand eComm-link panel connectors — Connect a matrix switcher or another (master or slave) MCP to these 5-pole, 5 mm male connectors. The MCP 1000 includes two female connectors for making cables.

Although comm-link connections can be used in a master application, the typical application is a large matrix system, such as a Matrix 6400. This can include multiple MCP 1000 units,

as well as MKP 1000 units, intermixed. See the application examples illustrated in chapter 3, "Operations."

Making cables

Choose a cable such as AMX/Panja’s Axlink, Crestron’s Cresnet, or Extron’s Plenum Comm-Link cable. The wire specifications for comm-link cable are on page 2-5. After running the cables, follow the procedure below to install the connectors.

The appropriate connectors are shipped with each device:

MCP 1000 — Use 5 mm connectors (Extron part number 10-163-13).

MKP 1000 — Use 3.5 mm connectors (Extron part number 10-319-10).

Matrix 3200/6400 master BME — Use 5 mm connectors (Extron part number 10-163-13).

CAUTION

Do not connect both a Matrix 3200/6400 BME

 

and an MCP 1000M (master) unit on the same

 

comm-link connection. Also, do not connect more

 

than one master on the same comm-link connection.

 

Both of theses units supply voltage to the comm-

 

link ports on pins A and B. Connect these pins

 

to only one power source. This does not apply to

 

MCP 1000S (slave) units.
