XTP II CrossPoint Series • Remote Control 23
Remote Control
This section describes using the remote control features of the
XTP II CrossPoint matrix switchers to control the devices. Topics
that are covered include:
• Selected SIS Commands
• XTP System Configuration Program
Selected SIS Commands
You can use Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands for operation
and conguration of the matrix switchers (see SIS Command and
Response Table for Matrix Switcher Commands on page 26).
You can also use these commands to congure the endpoints
(see the various command and response tables for endpoint
SIS commands, beginning on page 37). You can run these
commands from a PC connected to the Ethernet port (see LAN
(Ethernet) port on page 12), serial port (see Remote RS-232/
RS-422 port on page 12), or USB port (see Configuration port
on page 18) on the matrix switcher.
Establishing a Network (Ethernet) Connection
NOTE: The first time you connect to the matrix switcher via
the LAN port, you may need to change the default settings
(IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator name
and password) of the controller.
Establish a network connection as follows:
1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the IP address of the
matrix switcher.
NOTE: The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.
The matrix switcher responds with a copyright message
including the name, rmware version, and part number of the
product, and the current date and time.
NOTES:
• If the matrix switcher is not password-protected, the
device is now ready to accept SIS commands.
• If the matrix switcher is password-protected, a Password
prompt appears.
2. If necessary, enter the appropriate password.
