Control System and External Device Connections
The SMP351 can be configured and controlled from the Remote RS-232 port (see
figure3,
E
on page 12) or the front panel USB mini-B Config port (see figure 8,
B
on
page18) using SIS commands and DataViewer via Telnet port 23. A standard Web
browser can be used for control and configuration from the LAN port. Because the LAN
port must be connected for streaming output, Extron recommends using it for configuration,
remote control, and firmware upgrades.
B
USB storage device – You can attach an optional external USB storage device to the
front or rear USB ports to save recorded files. The storage device can be any standard
external hard drive or USB flash drive formatted with a compatible file system.
NOTE: The SMP351 can detect and record to USB storage devices using FAT32,
VFAT long file name extensions, EXT2, EXT3, or EXT4 file systems.
C
USB keyboard and mouse – Connect a keyboard and mouse to the two USB typeA
ports. With a keyboard and mouse connected, the user can toggle <CTL+ALT+S> the
HDMI output (see figure 3,
N
) between the standard preview output and the internal
browser view.
D
Digital I/O – Connect to the four 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors to provide
user-defined digital inputs or outputs (see About the FlexOS App - Digital I/O
Configurator on page149).
E
Remote — To control the SMP351 using SIS commands over RS-232, connect the
host RS-232 cable to the rear panel (see figure 3,
E
on page 12) with a 3-pole captive
screw connector for bi-directional (±5V) serial host control. The default protocol for this
port is as follows:
• 9600 baud
• no parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control (handshaking).
P
Reset button and LED — Press the reset button to reset the SMP351. There are
several reset modes to return to user-defined configuration settings or to return all
settings back to factory defaults. The LED indicates the desired reset mode, and
provides the reset status during the reset operation (see SMP351 Rear Panel Reset
on page16).
Q
RJ-45 Ethernet connector (LAN) — Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect to a
network. The default network settings are:
IP Address:
192.168.254.254
Subnet Mask:
255.255.0.0
Default Gateway:
0.0.0.0
DHCP: OFF
NOTE: To connect the SMP351 directly to a computer Ethernet port, use a
crossover Ethernet cable (see Connection Options on page156).
