The DMP 64 Digital Matrix Processor can be remotely connected via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS232 port or LAN port, or the front panel USB Config port.

The DMP 64 can be set up and controlled using SIS commands, embedded web pages, or DSP Configurator software. See Installation on page 5 for pin assignments

and details on the configuration and control port connections. For information on

DSP Configurator, see DMP Software on page 14, and for the embedded web pages, see HTML Operation on page 120.

SIS commands can be executed using the Extron Electronics DataViewer program, found on the Software Products DVD included with the product.

DMP 64 RS-232 protocol:

38400 baud

no parity

• 1 stop bit

8 data bits

no flow contro

 

NOTE: Both rear panel configuration ports require 38400 baud communication. This is a higher speed than many other Extron products use. When using HyperTerminal or a similar application, make sure the PC or control system connected to these ports is set for 38400 baud.

For additional details on connecting the RS232 port, see RS-232 Ports on page 93.

USB port details:

The Extron USB driver must be installed before the USB port can be used (see Install the USB Driver on page 17).

LAN port defaults:

DMP 64 IP address: 192.168.254.254

gateway IP address: 0.0.0.0 subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

DHCP: off
