Remote Communication and Control
This section describes remote operation of the EDID101H4K PLUS. Topics include:
• Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
• Using the Command and Response Table
Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
The EDID101H4K PLUS is remotely set up and controlled using Extron SIS commands
issued from a host computer or other device, such as a control system. SIS commands are
issued from the connected computer to the front panel Config port (see Connecting to
the USB Port on page19) to connect to this port).
Host-to-device Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. You can enter these commands from your
computer using a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer. When
the device determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a
response to the host device.
Most responses from the EDID101H4K PLUS to the host computer end 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.
Device-initiated Messages
When a local event such as a change in input signal or HDCP status, or a change in the
EDID assignment (changing the front panel rotary switch) takes place, the device responds
by sending a message to the host, indicating the change. No response is required from the
host.
Error Responses
If the device is unable to execute a command it receives because the command is invalid or
contains invalid parameters, the device returns an error response to the host. The following
error response codes can be sent:
E10 – Invalid command
E13 – Invalid value (out of range)
E14 – Not valid for this configuration
E17– Invalid command for signal type
EDID101H4K PLUS • Remote Communications and Control 14

Rack Mounting
UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of
these products in a rack:
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the units are installed in a closed or
multiunit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by
Extron.
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets adequate
air flow for safe operation.
Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical
loading does not create a hazardous condition.
Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect
that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider
the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack‑mounted equipment.
Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch
circuit (such as the use of power strips).
EDID101H4K PLUS • Reference Information 18
Rack Mounting Procedure
To mount the unit on a rack shelf, follow the instructions provided with the shelf accessories.
Connecting to the USB Port
A female mini type‑B USB Config port located on the front panel (see Front Panel
Features on page4) is used to connect to a host computer for configuration using
SIScommands with Extron DataViewer, for updating firmware with the Extron Firmware
