SMP 111 • Remote Communication and Control 68
Remote
Communication and
Control
This section describes Simple Instruction Set (SIS) command programming and control of
the SMP111, including:
• Connection Options
• Host-to-device Communications
• Command and Response Tables
The SMP111 Streaming Media Processor can be configured and controlled using SIS
commands or embedded web pages. SIS commands can be executed using the Extron
DataViewer program, found on the Extron website at www.extron.com.
Connection Options
The SMP111 can be remotely connected via a host computer or other device (such as a
control system) to the rear panel RS‑232 port, the LAN port, or the front panel USB Config
port.
RS-232 Port
The SMP111 has a rear panel serial port (see figure 3,
E
on page 11) that can be
connected to a host device such as a computer running a HyperTerminal utility, or the
Extron DataViewer utility. The port makes serial control of the SMP possible. Use the
protocol defaults to make the connection.
RS-232 protocol defaults:
• 9600 baud • no parity • 1 stop bit
• 8 data bits • no flow control
Front Panel Configuration Port
The mini type B USB port is located on the front panel (see Front Panel Features on
page 16). It connects to a host computer for configuration using SIScommands with
DataViewer, available at www.extron.com.
USB port details:
The Extron USB driver must be installed before use.
NOTE: If an Extron USB device has never been connected to the host computer,
prior to connecting the SMP111 Config (USB) port for the first time, you must install
and activate the USB driver. The simplest way to do this is to install Dataviewer (see
DataViewer on page 92).
