Definitions
The following terms are used throughout this manual:
EDID — Extended Display Identification Data. A communications protocol or
instruction set developed by VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association)
for the identification of display devices to computers using the DDC (Display
Data Channel) transmission standard.
DVI — Digital Visual Interface. The digital video connectivity standard that was
developed by DDWG (Digital Display Working Group). This connection
standard offers two different connectors: one with 24 pins that handles digital
video signals only, and one with 29 pins that handles both digital and analog
video. This standard uses TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signal)
from Silicon Image and DDC (Display Data Channel) from VESA (Video
Electronics Standards Association). DVI-D is a DVI connector that supports
digital signals only, and DVI-I supports both digital and analog signals.
SDI — Serial Digital Interface. The standard based on a 270 Mbps transfer rate.
This is a 10-bit, scrambled, polarity independent interface with common
scrambling for both component ITU-R 601 and composite digital video and
four channels of embedded digital audio.
HD-SDI — High-definition version of SDI specified in SMPTE 292M. This
standard transmits audio and video over a single coaxial cable with a data
rate of 1.485 Gbit/second.
Preset— A configuration that has been stored, allowing the setup and recall of
recurring I/O configurations using either the front panel, RS-232/422, or
Ethernet control.
Input: Up to 128 input presets (individual I/O configurations) may be saved
and recalled. An input preset is a user-defined set of input and picture
control settings that can be saved for each source within a system so that
they can be recalled whenever the source is active. Input presets can be
recalled on any input that supports the saved input’s video format. This
type of preset saves specific settings for size, centering, contrast, brightness,
detail, zoom, and input configuration. Unlike user presets, input presets save
parameters that can be recalled only on the source that was active when the
preset was saved.
User: Up to 16 user presets per input are available. A user preset saves
specific settings for color, brightness, detail, size, and centering. User presets
are used when a shortcut is needed to quickly recall a group of settings that
relate to the current content or current input. Each input has it’s own set of
16 user presets.
PIP: Up to 16 user defined PIP window layout presets can be stored,
available for later use. Ten factory default PIP window layout presets come
as standard and can be overwritten.
Auto Memory— The automatic saving and recall of input and picture controls for
signals that have been previously applied.

as the Extron SW 8A, to the lower 9-pin D-sub connector .
When the USP 507 switches input via either a control device RS-232
command or front panel control, the USP 507 and the connected auxiliary
device switch inputs. When video is muted or unmuted, frozen or unfrozen,
a corresponding audio mute/unmute command is sent to the auxiliary
switcher.
Reset button and LED — This button is used to reset the switcher to any one
o
of four different states. The LED indicates the status during the resetting
procedure. Refer to the “Resetting the Unit with the Reset Button” section, on

Auto Memory and Auto-Image Features
“New” signals /rates that have not been previously detected by the USP 507 are initially set-up
using default parameters, then auto image is automatically applied and values stored. The next
time the same signal is detected, the values stored in the auto memory location are applied.
OFF
“New” signals /rates that have not been previously detected by the USP 507 are set-up using
default parameters. If manual input and/or picture settings are made to the input, an auto
memory location is created and recalled each successive time the input is detected.
Each change in input sync triggers an automatic auto image. When auto memory is disabled,
each different signal is treated as a new signal and default picture controls and automatic auto
image is applied. Any manual changes made to the image and picture controls are lost each time
a new rate is detected.
Each change in input sync causes default values to be applied to the rate. Any manual changes
made to the image and picture controls are lost each time a new rate is applied.

Setting Up the USP 507 to Work with a Matrix Switcher
The Sync to Matrix tool is a powerful software tool that can simplify the control
system necessary when using an Extron matrix switcher and an USP 507.
The “Sync to Matrix” script can sense when a new tie that is made on the matrix is
routed to the USP 507 and automatically recalls the input preset associated with the
input on the matrix switcher. The input preset recalls all the settings for the input
including the signal format, input sampling settings, and picture controls.

SIS Programmer’s Guide
The USP 507 can be operated and configured using Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™)
commands input via a PC connected to the top RS-232 port on the rear panel or the
Ethernet port. See m on page 2-4, and Appendix B for wiring details.
RS-232/RS-422 Link
The USP 507 has one rear port (the upper serial port) and one front port (seea on
page 3-2) that can be used for serial control. All ports enable use of SIS commands
and the Windows®-based control software. The default protocol for these ports is:
• 9600 baud, • 1 stop bit, • no parity, • no flow control, • 8-bit.
N
The lower rear serial port (named Aux SW Follow) is for connection to an
auxiliary device and should not be connected to a PC or control device.
Ethernet (LAN) Port
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the unit can be connected to an Ethernet
LAN or WAN. Communications between the unit and the controlling device is via
Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The TCP port can be changed if necessary. This
connection makes SIS control of the unit possible using a computer connected to
the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and behavior of the unit are identical
to that when communicating to it via RS-232.
Ethernet connection
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover
cable and must be properly terminated for your application. See Appendix B for
cable termination details.
Default IP addresses
To access the USP 507 via the Ethernet port, you need the Extron IP address and
may need the subnet mask and the gateway address. If the IP address has been
changed to an address comprised of words and characters, the actual numeric IP
address can be determined using the ping (ICMP) utility (see Appendix B for more
details). If the addresses have not been changed, the factory-specified defaults are:
IP address: 192.168.254.254, subnet mask: 255.255.0.0, gateway address: 0.0.0.0.
Establishing a connection

Connection timeouts
The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time of no communications.
By default, this timeout value is set to five minutes but the value can be changed.
N
Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at five minutes and periodically
issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are long
idle periods, Extron recommends disconnecting the socket and reopening the
connection when another command must be sent.
Number of connections
The USP 507 can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including all HTTP
sockets and Telnet connections. When the connection limit is reached, the processor
accepts no new connections until some have been closed. No error message
or indication is given that the connection limit has been reached. To maximize
performance of an IP Link
unnecessary open sockets should be closed.
®
device, the number of connections should stay low and
Using verbose mode
Telnet connections to the processor can be used to monitor for changes that occur
on the processor, such as front panel operations and SIS commands from other
Telnet sockets or a serial port. For a Telnet session to receive change notices from
the processor, the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3. In verbose mode
1 or 3, the Telnet socket reports changes in messages that resemble SIS command
responses.
Host-to-Processor Instructions
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 processor 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
]
Processor-Initiated Messages
When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the processor responds
by sending a message to the host. The processor-initiated messages are listed
below.
The processor initiates the copyright message when powered on or when
connection via Internet protocol (IP) is established. Vx.xx is the firmware version
number.

Password:
The processor initiates the password message immediately after the copyright
message when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet and the
processor is password protected. The processor requires an administrator or user
level password before performing the commands entered.

The processor initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user

Processor Error Responses
When the USP 507 receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it
performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the processor
is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains
invalid parameters, the processor returns an error response to the host. The error
response codes are:
E01 — Invalid input channel number (out of range)
E10 — Invalid command
E11 — Invalid preset number
E12 — Invalid output number/port number
E13 — Invalid parameter (out of range)
E14 — Command not available for this configuration
E17 — Invalid command for this signal type
E22 — Busy
E24 — Privilege violation
E25 — Device not present
E26 — Maximum number of connections exceeded
E27 — Invalid event number
E28 — Bad filename/file not found

The USP 507 checks several possibilities, in the following order, and then
responds accordingly:
Does the address include a specific file name, such as
•
“192.168.254.254/file_name.html”? If so, the unit downloads that HTML
page.
Is there a file in the device’s memory that is named “index.html”?
•
If so, the device downloads “index.html” as the default startup page.
If neither of the above conditions is true, the device downloads the
•
factory-installed default startup page, “nortxe_index.html” (figure 6-2),
also known as the System Status page.
Any of the five main pages (System Status, Configuration, File Management,
Control, and Images) can be accessed at any time by clicking on the relevant tab.

Output configuration
Depending on the optional output card installed, the output connector and display
device being used, the resolution and refresh rates can be set to one of 81 output
rates from 640x480/50 Hz to 1920x1200/60, including HDTV 1080p/60 Hz. For a
full table of output rates see page 3-8.
Output sync format can be chosen from RGBHV, RGsB, YUV bi- or tri-level sync.
Output polarity can be selected from H-/V- (default), H+/V-, H+/V+, or H-/V+.
Advanced configuration
Within this section, RGB delay can be set from a range of 0.0 seconds up to
5.0 seconds in 0.1 second steps. Use the drop-down box to select the desired
setting. When switching inputs, the new input is displayed after the current RGB
delay time, for example, 2.0 seconds.
If desired, an internal test pattern can be selected from the drop-down list of
14 patterns in order to aid in the setting up of a display device.
Switch effect can be chosen from Cut (Blank), Cut (Freeze), and Fade. Depending
on the selected effect, the images go blank, freezes, or fades when inputs are
switched.
Auto memories can be toggled on or off as desired.
When using the MTP (twisted pair) output, the pre-peaking setting can be turned
on or off to compensate for the poor image quality of video signals transmitted over
long distance twisted pair cable runs to a remote display. A compatible Extron MTP
Series Twisted Pair Receiver is required for this output type.
Using EDID emulation, the USP 507 provides a means for specifying the rate of the
incoming DVI or VGA signal, and allows proper communication with the video
source. EDID settings can be selected from the drop-down resolution and refresh
rate lists.

Default address
To access the USP 507 via the Ethernet port, you need the unit’s 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 USP 507
Ping to determine Extron IP address
The ping utility is available at the command (Cmd) prompt. Ping tests the

you were using the RS-232 link.
Connect to the device as follows:
1
. At the Telnet prompt, enter open IP address.
If the processor is not password protected, no further prompts are displayed
until you disconnect from the USP 507.
If the processor is password protected, Telnet displays the password prompt.
. If necessary, enter the password at the password prompt.
2
Connection to the processor 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 the processing
capabilities and editing functions.
Users can select test patterns, mute or unmute the output, select a blue
screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. By default, the
processor is delivered with both passwords set to carriage return.
Once you are logged in, the processor returns either Login Administrator or
Login User. No further prompts are displayed until you disconnect the from
the USP 507.
Escape character and Esc key
When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the Escape character is ‘Ctrl+]’.
Many SIS commands include the keyboard Esc key. Consequently, some confusion
may exist between the Escape character and the Esc key.
The Telnet Escape character is a key combination: the Ctrl key and the ] key pressed
simultaneously. Pressing these keys displays the Telnet prompt while leaving the
connection to the USP 507 intact.
The Escape key is the Esc key on the computer keyboard.
Local echo
Once your computer is connected to the USP 507, by default Telnet does not display
your keystrokes on the screen. SIS commands are entered blindly, and only the SIS
responses are displayed on the screen. To command Telnet to show all keystrokes,
enter set local echo at the Telnet prompt before you open the connection to the
processor.
With local echo turned on, keystrokes and the processor’s responses are displayed
on the same line. Example: 1*1*1!01Out01 In01 All where 1*1*1! is the
SIS command and 01Out01 In01 All is the response.
Note that 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 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 entering unset local_echo at the Telnet prompt.
If your computer is connected to the USP 507, and you need to access the Telnet
prompt to turn local echo off, enter the Escape sequence (Ctrl + ]).
Setting carriage return-line feed
Unless commanded otherwise, Telnet transmits a line feed character only (no
carriage return) to the connected processor when you press the Enter key. This is
the correct setting for SIS communication with the processor. The Telnet set crlf
command forces Telnet to transmit carriage return and line feed characters when
Enter is pressed; however, if crlf is set, the SIS link with the processor does not
function properly.
Closing the link to the processor
To close the link to the processor, access the Telnet prompt by entering the Escape
sequence (Ctrl + ]). At the Telnet prompt, enter close.
Help
For Telnet command definitions, enter ? at the Telnet prompt.
Exiting Telnet (Quit command)
Exit the Telnet utility by entering quit at the Telnet prompt. If you are connected
to the USP 507, access the Telnet prompt by entering the Escape sequence (Ctrl + ]).
Subnetting — A Primer
A subnet is a subset of a network — a set of IP devices that have portions of their
IP addresses in common. It is not the purpose of this manual to describe TCP/
IP protocol in detail. However, some understanding of TCP/IP subnetting is
necessary in order to understand the interaction of the USP 507 and the mail server
gateway. To understand subnetting at the level required to install and operate the
USP 507, you must understand the concepts of a gateway, local and remote devices,
IP addresses and octets, and subnet masks and octets.
Gateways
The USP 507 can communicate with the e-mail server that it uses for e-mail
notification directly (if they are on the same subnet), or the communication can be
routed via a gateway (a computer that provides a link between different subnets).
Local and remote devices
The local and remote devices are defined from the point of view of the function
being described. In this manual, subnetting is an issue when you are using the
controlling PC to set TCP/IP values in the USP 507.
IP addresses and octets
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields, properly called
“octets”, which are separated by dots (periods) (figure B-4). Each octet can be
numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeros, up to 3 digits total per octet, are
optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

255 indicates that this octet will be
0 indicates that this octet will not be
compared between two IP addresses
Subnet masks and octets
The subnet mask (figure B-5) is used to determine whether the local and remote
devices are on the same subnet or different subnets. The subnet mask consists
of four numeric octets separated by dots. Each octet can be numbered from
000 through 255. Leading zeros, up to 3 digits total per octet, are optional. Each
octet typically contains either 255 or 0. The octets determine whether or not the
same octets of two IP addresses will be compared when determining if two devices
are on the same subnet.
compared between two IP addresses.

Figure B–5 — Subnet mask and octets
Determining whether devices are on the same subnet
To determine the subnet, the local device’s IP address is compared to the remote
device’s IP address (figure B-6 below). Each address’s octets are compared or not,
depending on the value in the related subnet mask octet.
• If a subnet mask octet contains the value 255, the related octets of the local
device’s address and the remote device’s IP address are unmasked.
Unmasked octets are compared (indicated by ? in figure B-6).
• If the subnet mask octet contains the value 0, the related octets of the local
device’s and remote device’s IP addresses are masked.
Masked octets are not compared (indicated by X in figure B-6).
If the unmasked octets of the two IP addresses match (indicated by = in figure B-6,
example 1), the two addresses areon the same subnet.
If the two unmasked fields do not match (indicated by an unequal sign in
figure B-6, example 2 and example 3), the addresses are not on the same subnet.
