Enabling Ethernet and Captive Screw Insertion
For a TP port to distribute the inserted signal, it must be enabled for either Ethernet insertion
or captive screw insertion (default). The simplest way to make this selection is via the front
panel (see Configuring the TP Insertion Ports on page 46).
Alternatively, you can make this selection:
• Using the Product Configuration Software (see Configuring RS-232 Insertion
Parameters on page 91)
• Using SIS commands (see the Captive screw and Ethernet serial port insertion
enables SIS commands on page 81)
Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion
Figure 37 is an example of a typical Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, in which an Extron IPCP
module provides control of an HD camera via the matrix switcher. Configure this type of
insertion as follows:
1. Connect a TP cable from the IPCP module to the LAN port, directly or via a network.
2. If necessary, enable the port (input port 7 in this example) for Ethernet (see “Enabling
Ethernet and Captive Screw Insertion,” above).
3. If necessary to match the device to be controlled, configure the port RS-232 protocol
(baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits) (see RS-232 protocol on the next page).
4. Connect the TP cable to the endpoint as usual.
5. Connect a serial cable from the endpoint to the device to be controlled.
