Extron electronics SMP 111 User Manual

SMP 111 • Remote Communication and Control 70
Connection Timeouts
The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time with no communication. 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 for changes that occur, such as SIS commands
from other Telnet sockets or serial port changes. 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.
Host-to-device Communications
The SMP111 accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands through the rear panel
Remote RS‑232 port, the front panel Config port, and the rear panel Ethernet (LAN) port.
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require
special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each response to an
SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF =
]
), which signals the
end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
SMP111 - initiated Messages
The SMP111 initiates messages under specific conditions. No response is required from
the host. The SMP111 initiated message is as follows:
]
© Copyright 2014-2016, Extron Electronics, SMP 111, Vn.nn, 60– 1594-01
]
Day, DD MMM YYYY HH:MM:SS
]
The SMPsends the copyright messages under the following circumstances:
• If the SMP is off and an RS‑232 connection is already set up (the PC is cabled to
the SMP and a serial communication program such as HyperTerminal is open), the
connected unit sends these messages via RS‑232 when first powered on.
• If the SMPis on, it sends the copyright message when a Telnet connection to the
SMPis first opened. The day of the week, date, and time are shown when the SMP is
connected via Telnet, but not via RS‑232. If using a Telnet connection, the copyright
message, date, and time may be followed by a password prompt.
Password Information
The
]
Password: prompt requires a password (administrator level or user level) followed
by a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if the correct password is not entered.
If the correct password is entered, the unit responds with
]
Login Administrator
]
or
]
Login User
]
, depending on the password entered. If passwords are the same for
both administrator and user, the unit will default to administrator privileges.
