RS-232 Ports, USB Port Front Panel | Extron electronic DMP 64

RS-232 Ports

The DMP 64 has two serial ports that can be connected to a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility or DataViewer. The ports make serial control of the switcher possible. Use the protocol information listed to make the connection. For SIS programming details once the connection is made, see Host-to-device Communications on page 95.

USB Port (Front Panel)

The DMP 64 has a front panel USB port that can be connected to a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility, or the DataViewer utility. The port makes serial control of the switcher possible. For SIS programming details once the connection is made, see Host-to-device Communications on page 95.

Ethernet (LAN) Port

The rear panel LAN connector on the device can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. Communication between the device and the controlling device is via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The Telnet port can be changed, if necessary, via SIS. This connection makes SIS control of the device possible using a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and behavior of the product are identical to the commands and behavior the product exhibits when communicating via a serial port or USB.

Ethernet Connection

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (see figure 59).

A cable that is wired as TIA/EIA T568A at one end and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs reversed) is a "crossover" cable.

Straight-through Cable

(for connection to a switch, hub, or router)

	End 1		End 2
Pin	Wire Color	Pin	Wire Color

1	white-orange	1	white-orange
2	orange	2	orange
3	white-green	3	white-green

5	white-blue	5	white-blue
6	green	6	green
7	white-brown	7	white-brown
8	brown	8	brown
	T568B		T568B

A cable wired the same at both ends is called a "straight-through" cable because no pin/pair assignments are swapped.
