To Establish a Network Connection to the SMD 101:

1.Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the player IP address.

NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory‑specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.

2.The SMD 101 responds with a copyright message including the date, the name of the product, firmware version, part number, and the current date/time.

a.If the SMD 101 is not password-protected, the device is ready to accept SIS commands immediately after it sends the copyright message.

b.If the SMD 101 is password-protected, a password prompt appears below the copyright message. Proceed to step 3.

3.If the device is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user password.

a.If the password is accepted, the device responds with Login User or Login Administrator.

b.If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.

Connection Timeouts

The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time of no communications. By default, this timeout value is 5 minutes, but the value can be changed.

NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically

issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are long idle periods, disconnect the socket and reopen the connection when another command must be sent.

Verbose Mode

Telnet connections can be used to monitor changes that occur, such as SIS commands from other Telnet sockets or a serial port. For a Telnet session to receive change notices, the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3. In verbose mode 1 or 3, the Telnet socket reports changes in messages that resemble SIS command responses.
