Connection Options
The SMP300 Series can be configured and controlled using SIS commands or embedded
web pages. Configure and control the SMP300 Series remotely via a host computer or
other device (such as a control system) by connecting to the rear panel RS‑232 port, LAN
port, or the front panel USB Config port of the SMP device.
RS-232 Port
The SMP300 Series has a rear panel serial port (see figure4,
E
on page15) 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 information listed below to make the connection (see Host-to-device
Communications on page108).
RS-232 protocol defaults:
• 9600 baud • no parity • 1 stop bit
• 8 data bits • no flow control
Front Panel Configuration Port
The mini B USB port is located on the front panel (see figure8,
B
on page21). Connect
to a host computer for configuration using SIScommands with DataViewer, available at
www.extron.com. To connect the SMP 300 Series to a host computer, download the USB
driver, follow the on‑screen instructions, and configure the SMP as required.
NOTE: If an Extron USB device has never been connected to the host computer, prior
to connecting the SMP300 Series 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141).
