Introduction

About this Manual

This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron ISM 182 and ISM 482 Integration Scaling Matrix switchers.

The ISM 182 and ISM 482 are similar in function and operation; the differences exist in scaling capabilities. In this manual, the terms “switcher” and “ISM” are used interchangeably to refer to either model, except where differences exist, in which case the specific model is noted.

• Chapter 1 identifies the switcher’s features.

• Chapter 2 details how to install the switcher.

• Chapter 3 describes how to operate the switcher and use all of its features.

• Chapter 4 provides information about programming and operating the switcher under RS-232 control, such as from a PC or host controller.

• Chapter 5 details the Extron control software for Windows, which allows you to operate the switcher from a PC in a graphical environment.

• Chapter 6 details operation of the switcher using an Ethernet browser.

• Appendix A is a high-level Internet protocol (IP) primer (Ethernet and Telnet).

• Appendix B lists the switcher’s specifications and pertinent part numbers and provides procedures for replacing the switcher’s firmware.

About the Switcher

The Extron ISM 182 and ISM 482 are eight-input, two-independently-scaled-output, video and stereo audio matrix switchers. Figure 1-1 shows a typical ISM 482 application. The switchers accept high resolution RGB video, YUV (component) video, S-video (Y/C), and composite video inputs; scale the inputs; and output RGBHV or RGBS video and stereo audio. Triple-Action Switching™ (RGB delay) blanks the screen during the switch to prevent distracting video glitches. The switchers’ two independent scalers permit differing video formats on each input to be displayed in different resolutions on different projectors.

Each video input is individually configurable to allow for different video formats. The ISM allows analog RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and RGBcvS video, component video, S-video, and composite video signals to be displayed on a device with a fixed resolution and aspect ratio, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) projector, digital light processor (DLP) projector, or plasma display.

The ISM provides two separate outputs. The selected input can be switched to either or both outputs.

The switchers input all valid video signal formats on eight sets of five BNC connectors. The ISM 482 scales the input up or down to any of 40 output resolutions and rates. The ISM 182 scales the inputs to any of 20 resolutions and rates. Either switcher outputs the scaled video, as RGBHV or RGBS, on two sets of output connectors, consisting of five BNCs and a 15-pin HD connector. The BNCs and 15-pin HD connector share identical outputs. Several of the output resolutions and rates include Extron’s Accu-RATE Frame Lock™ (AFL™), a proprietary technology that locks the output frame rate to the input rate, solving the image tearing problem that can result from different input and output rates. The ISM 482 features HDTV 576p, 720p, 1080p, and 1080i outputs.

Figure 1-1— Typical ISM 482 Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher application

The ISM receives and outputs the stereo audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors. For upscaling, the ISM 482 converts the horizontal and vertical sync timing and the

number of lines of the lower-resolution video input to match the native resolution of the display. This produces an undistorted, brighter picture than an unscaled input would.

For downscaling, the ISM 482 accepts any computer resolution, up to 1600 x 1200, with horizontal scan rates up to 100 kHz and vertical scan rates up to 120 Hz, and converts the input to match the native resolution of the display.

The switchers are ideal for displaying images on projectors with limited display resolutions, such as LCD projectors, DLP projectors, and plasma projectors.

The switchers feature built-in test patterns to aid in monitor or projector set-up and evaluation.

The switchers are housed in a rack-mountable, 3U high, 17.5” wide, metal enclosure. The ISM has an internal 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz, 30 watts autoswitchable power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.

Audio outputs — The ISM outputs the selected unamplified, line level, balanced

or unbalanced stereo or mono audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors.

Accu-RATE Frame Lock™ (AFL™) — A patented technology exclusive to Extron

that solves frame rate conversion issues experienced by video scalers. When video input and output refresh rates differ, occasionally the two rates cross over each other. The result is a glitch or image freeze on the display. AFL solves this problem by locking the output frame rate to the input frame rate.

Dynamic Motion Interpolation™ (DMI™) — This video processing technique is

an advanced motion prediction and compensation method that treats motion content and still content with different algorithms to yield high fidelity images.

3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC video sources and 2:2 film detection for PAL —

These advanced, patent pending, film mode processing feature helps maximize image detail and sharpness for video sources that originated from film. When film is converted to NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be matched to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies and other image artifacts can result if conventional deinterlacing techniques are used on film-source video. The ISM’s advanced film mode processing recognizes signals that originated from film. The ISM then applies video processing algorithms that optimize the conversion of video that was made with the 3:2 pulldown process. This results in richly detailed images with sharply defined lines.

A similar process is used for PAL film-source video.

Audio follow and breakaway — Audio switching can follow its corresponding

video input signal or it can be broken away from the video input. Audio breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or under RS-232 or Ethernet remote control.

Audio gain/attenuation — Users can set the input level of audio gain or

attenuation (-24dB to +9dB) via the RS-232 or Ethernet link or from the front panel. Individual input audio levels can be adjusted so there is no noticeable volume difference between sources.

Ethernet port — Supports connection to an Ethernet LAN so that the switcher can

be accessed and operated from a computer running a standard Internet browser anywhere in the world.

Quad-standard video decoder — The switcher uses a digital, four-line adaptive

comb filter that can decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM.

Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Introduction1-4

Test patterns — The switcher features built-in test patterns to aid in monitor or

projector set-up and evaluation.

Blue mode — The switcher can be set to output the blue video signal only, to help

installers calibrate the monitor or projector.

Triple-Action Switching

™

(RGB delay) — RGB delay mutes the R, G, and B video planes to blank the screen while the scaler locks to the new sync, so that a noise-filled scramble is not shown on the monitor during the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is user adjustable up to five seconds under front panel, SIS, and program control.

Auto memories — The eight inputs support 16 auto-recall memories each, based on

the incoming frequency. Information on sizing, centering, detail, contrast, and brightness is saved.

Auto Image

™

— The auto imaging feature automatically sizes and centers the selected input to fill the screen. Auto imaging can be selected for individual inputs as desired or set to automatically size and center each new input selection.

Memory presets — The ISM 482 has memory for up to 128 presets that allow the

user to use RS-232 commands to save and recall color, tint, contrast, brightness, centering, and sizing, and filtering information.

Aspect ratio memories — Three memories for each input save different color, tint,

contrast, brightness, detail, size, and centering settings.

Freeze mode (under SIS and Windows program control only) — Locks the output

display to the selected image. Once frozen, an input can be removed without losing the output image. This feature lets the ISM store a still image.

Rack mounting — The 3U high switcher can be mounted in any conventional 19”

wide rack.

Ethernet connection

Ethernet port — If desired connect the switcher to an Ethernet LAN or WAN

via this RJ-45 connector. Ethernet control allows the operator to control the switcher from a remote location. When connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN , the switcher can be accessed and operated from a computer running a standard Internet browser.

Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs indicate the status of the Ethernet connection.

LINK ACT

Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout.

Choosing a network cable

Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 4, 5, 5e, or 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to 328’ (100 m).

The Link LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily.

The Act LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.

Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.

The cable used depends on your network speed. The ISM supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.

• 10Base-T Ethernet requires, at a minimum, CAT 3 UTP or STP cable.

• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires, at a minimum, CAT 5 UTP or STP cable.

Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Installation2-6

Wiring the network cable

The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (figure 2-8) and must be properly terminated for your application:

• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the ISM to an Ethernet hub, router, or switcher that also hosts a controlling computer.

• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the ISM and a controlling computer.

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then describe the menu system, the picture adjustments, and selection of executive mode.

Power

Power is automatically applied when the power cord is connected to an AC source. When AC power is applied, the switcher performs a self-test that blinks all of the front panel LEDs and then lights only the LED for the previously selected output and the tied input. The self-test also displays the model name, part number, and the firmware version in the LCD display. After approximately 2 seconds, the LCD reverts to its default display cycle, alternating between two displays; one showing the inputs selected for outputs 1 and output 2, and the other showing the selected output rates (figure 3-6). An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all of the LEDs, with the exception of the selected output’s and input’s LEDs, off and the LCD cycling through the default displays.

Blue Only Mode and Edge Smoothing submenu

The Blue Only Mode and Edge Smoothing submenu lets you turn the blue mode and edge smoothing features on and off. Blue-only mode is helpful in the setup of the color and tint of the incoming video signal. In the blue-only mode, only the sync and blue video signals are passed to the display. Edge enhancement mode smooths edges of a picture by minimizing the differences between pixels.

Use the Adjust output 2, output 1, or both outputs. The default is Off.

Blanking submenu

The Output Blanking submenu displays and allows you to adjust the top and bottom line blanking on the output monitors within a range of 0 to 200 lines. During scaling, captioning and tapehead switching in the video’s blanking area may show up as picture noise. Using blanking, you can add black lines at the top and bottom edges of the image to eliminate edge noise.

RGB Delay submenu

The RGB Delay submenu displays and lets you set the RGB delay when a switch is made. With RGB delay, sync is never removed from the display. Rather, the ISM blanks the RGB (video) outputs while the scaler locks to the new sync, and then switches the RGB signals. This allows a brief delay for the displays to adjust to the new sync timing before displaying the new picture, which will appear without glitches. RGB delay is also known as Triple-Action Switching switching.

Use the Adjust from 0 seconds to 5 seconds in 0.1 second steps. The default is 0.2 seconds. Use the Adjust knob to select the blanking period for output 2.

Auto Imaging and Auto Memories submenu

The Auto Imaging and Auto Memories submenu provides a means to turn the auto imaging and auto presets features on or off for all input selections.

If auto imaging is set to on, the ISM automatically sizes and centers the selected input to fill the screen when a new frequency is input. If auto imaging is set off, the ISM sizes and centers the selected input only when it is commanded using the input button, see Auto imaging an input, earlier in this chapter. Rotate the Adjust knob to toggle auto imaging on or off for all input selections.

The auto memories feature saves and recalls centering and sizing information, based on the input frequency. With some control systems, the delay involved in recalling the memory can be a problem so it may improve system performance to turn auto memories off. Rotate the Adjust

knob to toggle auto memories on or off

Enhanced Mode submenu

The Enhanced Mode submenu provides a means to turn enhanced mode on or off. Enhanced mode is an automatic gain control for S-video or composite video input signals scaled and applied to an output. If the input signal level is too weak, the signal gain is increased; if the input signal level is strong, the signal gain is decreased.

Use either the Adjust

or Adjust knob to turn on enhanced mode for neither

output (off for both), output 2, output 1, or both outputs. The default is Off.

Enhanced mode is only effective for S-video and composite video input signals.

Pixel Phase submenu

The Pixel Phase submenu displays and lets you set the pixel phase, which is the timing of the digital scaler’s sampling. Sampling at the optimum pixel phase results in a brighter scaled output.

Optimizing the Video

Perform the following steps, in sequence, after you have installed the ISM. This procedure will help you to configure the switcher for the best settings for your display environment. In a multi-screen environment, perform this procedure for each display.

See Advanced Configuration menu earlier in this chapter to select and output a test pattern and to select and output blue only video.

See Picture adjustments earlier in this chapter to make adjustments to the picture quality.

See User Presets menu earlier in this chapter to save presets.

Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Operation3-18

1. If you are using a digital display such as an LCD or DLP projector, use the alternating pixels test pattern as a reference to adjust the phase and dot clock on the display devices. Proceed to step 3.

2. If you are using a CRT display, use the cross hatch test pattern as a reference to converge the display.

3. Set the ISM to output either the crop test pattern for 4:3 video or the appropriate aspect ratio test pattern. Use the display’s positioning controls to position the image so that you can see all sides of the test pattern on the display.

For the best results of this optimizing procedure, do not use the ISM’s center controls to position the image.

4. Select an input. Use the ISM’s size and center functions to fill the crop or aspect ratio test pattern.

If the input source is a DVD, set the DVD player to output a 16:9 aspect ratio, see Setting up a DVD source below, before sizing the image using the ISM’s size function to correct the aspect ratio.

When sizing and centering a letterbox movie video source, increasing the brightness on the ISM makes it easier to see the top and bottom of the active video.

5. If the input source is RGB, use the horizontal and vertical detail adjustments to increase the sharpness.

6. For S-video and composite video inputs, set the ISM to output blue-only video and to output the Color Bars test pattern. Using the blue Color Bars as a reference, use the ISM’s color and tint controls to adjust the video’s color and tint.

7. For RGB video inputs, set brightness and contrast levels. See Picture adjustments, earlier in this chapter.

8. Save this setting into one of the user memories using the User Presets menu.

Setting up a DVD source

To get the best results when using a DVD as a video source, Extron recommends that the DVD player itself be set up to output an aspect ratio of 16:9 and not 4:3. Because all DVDs are mastered as 16:9, having them set up for anything else causes the player to internally scale and compress the signal. The DVD player’s scaling and compression defeats the advantage of having 3-2 pulldown detection in the ISM.

All sizing adjustments to correct the aspect ratio should be done using the ISM. To change the output aspect ratio of most DVD players:

1. Enter the DVD player’s setup or action menu while the disc is stopped.

2. Select the 16:9 aspect ratio.

3-19Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Operation

Operation, cont’d

Optimizing the Audio

Each individual input audio level can be adjusted within a range of -24dB to +9dB, so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the best headroom and signal-to-noise ratio. Adjust the audio gain and attenuation as follows:

1. Connect audio sources to all desired inputs and connect the audio outputs to output devices such as audio players. See Input connections and Output connections, in chapter 2, Installation. For best results, wire all of the inputs and the outputs unbalanced.

2. Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players.

3. Switch among the inputs (see Selecting an input, in this chapter), listening to

the audio with a critical ear or measuring the output audio level with test equipment, such as a VU meter.

4. As necessary, adjust the audio level of each input (see Video & Audio Configuration menu, in this chapter) so that the approximate output level is the

same for all selected inputs.

Troubleshooting

The following tips may help you in troubleshooting.

• Some symptoms may resemble others, so you may want to look through all of the examples before attempting to solve the problem.

• Be prepared to backtrack in case the action taken does not solve the problem.

• It may help to keep notes and sketches in case the troubleshooting process gets lengthy. This will also give you something to discuss if you call for technical support.

• Try simplifying the system by eliminating components that may have introduced the problem or made it more complicated.

• For sync-related problems: Portable digital projectors are designed to operate close to the video source. Sync problems may result from using long cables or from improper termination. A sync adapter, such as Extron’s ASTA (active sync termination adapter), may help solve these problems.

• For LCD and DLP projectors and plasma displays: In addition to the syncrelated information above, check the user’s manual that came with the projector for troubleshooting tips, as well as for settings and adjustments. Each manufacturer may have its own terms, so look for terms like “auto setup”, “auto sync”, “pixel phase”, and “tracking”.

General checks

1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The switcher is receiving power if the LCD is displaying the default display cycle.

2. Ensure an active input is selected on the switcher.

3. Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.

4. Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.

5. Call the Extron S

Sales & Technical Support Hotline if necessary.

Host-to-Switcher Instructions

The switcher accepts SIS commands through its RS-232 port and/or its Ethernet port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each switcher 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.

Switcher error responses

When the switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 — Invalid input channel number (too large) E10 — Invalid command E11 — Invalid preset number (zero or too large) E12 — Invalid output number (zero or too large) E13 — Invalid value (out of range)

The advanced instruction set consist of four hexadecimal commands for uploading and downloading all or a portion of the switcher’s memory. These commands are for use by knowledgeable programmers, and result in a dump of data from (upload) or to (download) the switcher. Programmers can use the commands to exactly duplicate the settings among switchers with a minimum of effort.

Chapter Five

Switcher Software

Control Software for Windows

Button-Label Generator

Switcher Software

Control Software for Windows

Two software programs accompany the ISM 182 and ISM 482:

• The Extron ISS/ISM Control Program (Extron part #29-054-01), which communicates with the switcher via the rear panel Remote port, provides an easy way for you to control the switcher.

• The Extron Button-Label Generator, which allows you to design and print a label strip for the switcher’s front panel input selection button window.

Both programs are compatible with Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows ME, and Windows 2000. Updates to these programs can be downloaded from the Extron Web site (http://www.extron.com).

Installing the software

The programs are contained on a set of 3.5-inch diskettes. Load and run the program from the hard drive.

To install the program from the floppy disk to the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE from the first floppy disk and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program occupies approximately 1.5 Mb (megabytes) of hard-drive space.

By default the installation creates a C:\ISSISM folder, and it places three icons (ISS/ISM Control Pgm, ISS/ISM Help, and Button-Label Generator) into a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.

Software operation via Ethernet

When an ISM is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, any number of users can operate it, locally or remotely, using the ISS/ISM Control program. See Ethernet connection in chapter 2, Installation, for installation details

Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all ISM switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select video and/or audio for output, select inputs and outputs, select test patterns, set RGB and audio mutes, select a blue screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. If the same passwords or no password is required for logging on, all personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed user privileges are grayed out in the ISS/ISM Control program when the operator is logged on as a user.

Ethernet protocol settings

The IP settings/options screen (figure 5-6 on page 5-5) provides a location for observing and, if connected via the RS-232 link or if logged on via the Ethernet port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. None of the fields on this screen can be edited while logged on as a user. See System Configuration Page in chapter 6, Ethernet Operation, for details on the contents of these fields. See appendix A, Ethernet Connection, for other basic information about Internet protocol.

Editing variables on the IP settings/options screen while connected via the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the ISM. Extron recommends editing the settings on this screen using the RS-232 link and protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Switcher Software5-2

Using the control program

Many items found in the ISS/ISM Control Program are also accessible via front panel controls and the LCD menus, see chapter 3, Operation, and under SIS control, see chapter 4, Programmer’s Guide. The ISS/ISM Help Program provides information on settings and on how to use the control program itself.

1. To run the control program, double-click the ISS/ISM Control Pgm icon in the Extron Electronics group or folder. The Comm menu appears on the screen (figure 5-1).

Figure 5-1 — Comm port selection window

2. Select the comm port that is connected to the ISM’s Remote port or select IP

Ethernet Operation

The ISM 182 and ISM 482 can each be controlled and operated through its Ethernet port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a web browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. The browser’s display of the switcher’s status or operation has the appearance of web pages. This chapter describes the factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten.

If your Ethernet connection to the ISM is unstable, try turning off the proxy server in your web browser. In Microsoft’s Internet Explore, click Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings, uncheck the “Use a proxy server...” box, and then click Ok.

Load the Startup (Control) Page

Access the switcher using HTML pages as follows:

1. Start the Web browser program.

2. Click in the browser’s Address field.

3. Enter the switcher’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.

If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factoryspecified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.

4. If you want the browser to display a page other than the default page (such as a custom page that you have created and uploaded), enter a slash (/) and the file name to open.

The browser’s Address field should display the address in the following format:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/{optional_file_name.html} The following characters are invalid in file names: {space} ~ @ = ‘ [ ] { }

< > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.

5. Press the keyboard Enter key. The switcher checks to see if it is password protected.

If the switcher is not password protected, proceed to step 7. If the switcher is password protected, the switcher downloads the Enter

Network Password page (figure 6-1).

Figure 6-1 — Enter Network Password page

A User Name entry is not required.

6. Click the Password field and type in the appropriate administrator or user password. Click the OK button.

Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Ethernet Operation6-2

7. The switcher checks several possibilities, in the following order, and then responds accordingly:

a. Does the address include a specific file name, such as

10.13.156.10/file_name.html? If so, the switcher downloads that HTML page.

b. Is there a file in the switcher’s memory that is named “index.html”?

If so, the switcher loads “index.html” as the default startup page.

c. If neither of the above conditions is true, the switcher loads the factory-

installed default startup page, “nortxe_index.html” (figure 6-2), also known as the Control page.

The ISM downloads the System Configuration page (figure 6-5) when you click the Configuration tab. The screen consists of fields in which you can observe and edit IP administration and system settings.

Figure 6-5 — System Configuration page

Access to the ISM settings using web control is not password protected. Ensure only knowledgeable and qualified personnel have access to the switcher under Web control.

Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Ethernet Operation6-6

Administration fields

• Ethernet connection to the switcher, either by entering SIS commands (see chapter 4, Programmer’s Guide) or using the Control Program (see chapter 5, Switcher Software) is password protected.

• Connection via HTML pages and connection via the RS-232 port are password protected.

On password-protected connections, there are two levels of protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all ISM switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select video and/or audio for output, select test patterns, set RGB and audio mutes, select a blue screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords.

The administration fields on the System Configuration page are for entering and verifying administrator and user passwords. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper case and lower case alphanumeric characters. Each password must be entered twice; once in the password field and then repeated in the re-enter password field. Characters in these fields are masked by asterisks (*****). If you do not want to password protect an access level, leave the password field and the reenter password field blank. After entering the desired password in both fields, click the Submit button.

If a password has been inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can still connect to the switcher via the RS-232 link, which is not password protected. When connected via the RS-232 link, using either SIS commands (see chapter 4, Programmer’s Guide) or under Windows program control (see chapter 5, Switcher Software), you can look up and, if desired, change a password.

Default address

To access the ISM switcher via the Ethernet port, you will need the Extron ISM IP address. If the address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, the actual numeric IP address can be determined using the Ping utility. If the address has not been changed, the factory-specified default is 192.168.254.254.

Ping can also be used to test the Ethernet link to the ISM.

Ping to determine the switcher’s IP address

The Microsoft Ping utility is available at the DOS prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet interface between the computer and the ISM. Ping can also be used to determine the actual numeric IP address from an alias and to determine the web address.

Access the DOS prompt and Ping the switcher as follows:

1. Click on Start > Run.

2. At the Open prompt, type command.

3. Click on the OK button.

4. At the DOS prompt, type ping {IP address} and press [Enter]. The computer

returns a display similar to figure A-2. The line Pinging ... reports the actual numeric IP address, regardless of

whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

Ping to determine the Web IP address

The Ping utility has a modifier, -a, that directs the command to return the Web address rather than the numeric IP address.

At the DOS prompt, type ping -a {IP address} and then press [Enter]. The computer’s return display is similar to the Ping response shown in figure A-2, except that when you specify the -a modifier, the line Pinging mail... reports the web IP address rather than the numeric IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

Telnet tips

It is not the intention of this manual to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet, however some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the ISM via Telnet.

Open

Connect to the ISM using the Open command. Once you are connected to the switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same way that you would if you were using the RS-232 link.

Connect to the ISM as follows:

1. At the Telnet prompt, type open {IP address} and then press [Enter]. If the switcher is not password protected, no further prompts are displayed

until you break or disconnect the connection to the ISM.

If the switcher is password protected, Telnet displays the password prompt.

2. If necessary, at the password prompt, type {password} and then press [Enter].

Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password protected. There are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. A person logged on as an administrator has full access to all ISM switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select video and/or audio for output, select test patterns, set RGB and audio mutes, select a blue screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. By default, the ISM ships with both passwords cleared (no password assigned).

Once you are logged in, the ISM returns either Login Administrator or Login User. No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect the connection to the ISM.

Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Ethernet ConnectionA-4

Escape character and Esc key

When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the Escape character is ‘Ctrl+]’.

Esc

Many SIS commands include the keyboard

key. Consequently, some confusion

may exist between the Escape character and the Escape key.

Ctrl

The Telnet Escape character is a key combination, the

key and the ] key pressed simultaneously, that returns you to the Telnet prompt while leaving the connection to the ISM intact.

The Escape key is the

Esc

key on the computer keyboard.

Local echo

Once connected to the ISM, by default Telnet does not display your keystrokes on the screen. SIS commands are typed in blindly and the SIS responses are displayed on the screen. To command Telnet to show keystrokes, at the Telnet prompt, type set local_echo and then press [Enter] before you open the connection to the switcher.

With local echo turned on, keystrokes and the switcher’s response are displayed on the same line. For example: 1*1!In1 Out1 All, where 1*1! is the SIS command and In1 Out1 All is the response.

With local echo turned on, all keystrokes are displayed, even those that should be masked, such as the password entry. For example, when entering a password with local echo turned on, you will see a display such as a*d*m*i*n*, where admin is the keyed in password and ***** is the masked response.

Local echo can be turned off by typing unset local_echo and then pressing [Enter] at the Telnet prompt. If you are connected to the ISM and need to access the Telnet

Ctrl

prompt to turn local echo off, type the Escape character (

+]).

Set carriage return-line feed

Unless commanded otherwise, Telnet transmits a line feed character only (no

Enter

carriage return) to the connected ISM when you press the

key. This is the correct setting for SIS communication with the switcher. The Telnet set crlf command forces Telnet to transmit carriage return and line feed characters when

Enter

is pressed, but if crlf is set, the SIS link with the switcher will not function

properly.

To close the link to the switcher, access the Telnet prompt by typing the Escape character (

Ctrl

+]). At the Telnet prompt, type close and then press [Enter].

Help

For Telnet command definitions, at the Telnet prompt, type ? and then press [Enter].

Quit

Exit the Telnet utility by typing quit and then press [Enter] at the Telnet prompt. If you are connected to the ISM, access the Telnet prompt beforehand by typing the Escape character (

Ctrl

+]).

Firmware Upgrade Installation

In some cases the ISM’s firmware may require replacement with an updated version. There are nine user-replaceable firmware chips, U1, U2, and U6 on the front panel circuit board and U98, U99, U100, U101, U102, and U103 on the main circuit board. The U-numbers are printed on the circuit boards. We recommend that you send the unit in to Extron for service and updates.

• Chip set U1 and U2 are replaced as a pair.

• Chip U6 is replaced alone.

• Chip set U98, U99, U100, and U101 are replaced as a set.

• Chip set U102 and U103 are replaced as a pair.

CAUTION

Replace firmware in the ISM as follows:

1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the ISM to remove power from the unit.

2. If the ISM is installed in a rack, disconnect all signal and control cables and

remove the ISM from the rack.

3. Remove the 16 screws, 8 on the top and 4 on each side of the ISM cover (figure B-1).

4. Remove the top two front panel screws.

5. Lift the top cover straight up approximately five inches until you can access

the fan power cords.

CAUTION

6. Disconnect the two fan power cords from connectors J8 and J13 on the main board.

7. Lift the top cover out of the way.

Changes to firmware must be performed by authorized service personnel only. Some ISM firmware updates must be performed at the Extron factory.

To prevent electric shock, always unplug the ISM from the AC power source before opening the enclosure.

Do not touch any switches or other electronic components inside the ISM. Doing so could damage the switcher. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage IC chips even though you cannot feel it. You must be electrically grounded before proceeding with firmware replacement. A grounding wrist strap is recommended.
