CRemote RS-232/RS-422 connector (see figure 3 on page 8 and figure 4 on page 9) — Connect a host device, such as a computer or touch panel control, to the switcher via this 9-pin D connector for serial RS-232 or RS-422 control (see figure 9).

See Programming Guide on page 52 for definitions of the SIS commands (serial commands to control the switcher via this connector) and Matrix Software on page 71 for details on how to install and use the control software.

NOTE: The switcher can support either the RS-232 or the RS-422 serial communication protocol, and can operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates.

See the Command and Response Table for IP- and SNMP-Specific SIS Commands on page 68 to configure this port under SIS control.

If desired, connect an MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel to the Remote RS-232/RS-422 connector. See the MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel User Guide or the MKP 3000 User Guide for details.

Ethernet Connection

DLAN port (see figure 3 and figure 4) — For IP control of the system, connect the matrix switcher to a PC or to an Ethernet LAN via this RJ-45 connector. You can use a PC to control the networked switcher with SIS commands

from anywhere in the world. You can also control the switcher from a PC that is running the Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program or has downloaded HTML pages from the switcher.

Link LED indicator — The green (link) LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily.

Act LED indicator — The yellow (activity) LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.

Cabling

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cable type and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 meters).

NOTES:

•Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

•Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
