Figure 7. Remote RS-232/RS-422 Output Connector Wiring

FEthernet port (LAN connector) — If desired, connect a network WAN or LAN hub, a control system, or a computer to the Ethernet RJ-45 port.

Network connection — Use a patch (straight-through) cable.

Computer or control system connection — Use a crossover cable.

NOTE: The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.

GReset button — Initiates four levels of reset of the matrix switcher. For different reset levels, press and hold the recessed button while the switcher is running or while you power up the switcher.

See the DMS Series Matrix Switcher User Guide, available on the Extron DVD or at www.extron.com.

HPower connectors — Plug the switcher into one or two (depending on the DMS model) grounded AC sources.

NOTE: For reliability in switchers with Primary and Redundant power supplies, connect the power cord from the Redundant power connector to either an uninterruptible power source or to a power source that is completely independent of the primary power source.

IPrimary and Redundant power supply indicator LEDs (DMS 1600 and DMS 3600)

Green — Indicates that the associated power supply is operating within normal tolerances.

Red — Indicates that the associated power supply is operating outside the normal tolerances or has failed (see Removing and Installing a Power Supply Module (DMS 1600 and DMS 3600) on page 31 to replace the power supply).

JFans (DMS 1600 and DMS 3600) — See Removing and Installing a Fan (DMS 1600 and DMS 3600) on page 32.

BPrimary and Redundant Power Supply LEDs (DMS 1600 and DMS 3600) —

NOTE: The meaning of these indicators is identical to the LEDs on the power supplies (item I, on the previous page).

Green — Indicates that the associated power supply is operating within normal tolerances.

Red — Indicates that the associated power supply is operating outside the normal tolerances or has failed (see Removing and Installing a Power Supply Module (DMS 1600 and DMS 3600) on page 31 to replace the power supply).

CPower LED (DMS 2000 and DMS 3200)— Indicates that the power supply is operating within normal tolerances.

NOTE: The power supply is fixed, and not field replaceable, on the DMS 2000 and DMS 3200.
