DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Programming Guide 63
Programming Guide
The switcher can be remotely controlled, monitored, or configured with the following:
• The Extron Product Configuration Software and DSP Configurator software (see Matrix
Software on page 85)
• Built-in HTML pages (see HTML Pages on page 152)
• SIS commands (see below)
This section describes the operation of the switcher via SIS commands, including:
• Host Control Ports
• Host-to-Switcher Instructions
• Switcher-Initiated Messages
• Switcher Error Responses
• Using the Command and Response Tables
• Command and Response Table for Matrix Switcher Commands
• Command and Response Table for Remote and Communications Protocol
Commands
• Special Characters
NOTE: This section details the matrix-switcher-centric SIS commands. Additional
commands are available for the DSP (see the DSP SIS Commands section,
beginning on page 160).
Host Control Ports
The switcher has a serial port and a USB port. IPCP models have three Ethernet LAN ports
and the non-IPCP model has one LAN port. Any of these ports can be connected to a host
device such as a computer running the Extron DataViewer utility or the HyperTerminal utility,
or a control system. These ports make control of the switcher possible.
The rear panel Remote port and front panel Configuration port are independent of one
another. A front panel Configuration port connection and a rear panel Remote port
connection can be active at the same time. All LAN port connections can also be active
simultaneously.
Serial Port
The rear panel Remote port is an RS-232 serial port on a 3-pin captive screw connector
(see item
S
on page 17).
The default serial port protocol of the rear panel Remote port is:
• 9600 baud • No parity • 8 data bits
• No flow control • 1 stop bit
See Selecting the Remote Port Baud Rate on page 47 to configure the rear panel
Remote port from the front panel. Extron recommends leaving the Remote port at 9600
baud.
