About this Guide

This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series matrix switchers. In this guide, the terms “DXP,” “switcher,” and “DXP matrix switcher” are used interchangeably to refer to any or all DXP HD 4K PLUS Series models.

About the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Matrix Switchers

The DXP HD 4K PLUS Series are high performance HDMI matrix switchers for computer and video resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz They support HDMI 2.0b specifications, including data rates up to 18 Gbps, HDR Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats. These switchers are HDCP 2.2 compliant and incorporate Extron technologies including SpeedSwitch, EDID Minder, and Key Minder. HDMI input equalization and output regeneration ensure reliable system operation. Digital audio can be de-embedded from any input and assigned to digital or analog stereo outputs. The following models are available in fixed matrix sizes:

• DXP 44 HD 4K PLUS — 4 inputs by 4 outputs with 2 audio outputs

• DXP 84 HD 4K PLUS — 8 inputs by 4 outputs with 2 audio outputs

• DXP 88 HD 4K PLUS — 8 inputs by 8 outputs with 2 audio outputs

The DXP HD 4K PLUS Series are designed for use with computers equipped with 4K graphics cards, media players and similar signal sources, and 4K native resolution displays. With a maximum data rate of 18 Gbps, the switchers support computer and video resolutions up to 4096x2160 @ 60 Hz with 8-bit color in 4:4:4 color space.

To maintain signal integrity, these switchers feature automatic cable equalization on inputs and output reclocking to reshape and restore timing of the video signal at each HDMI output. These features combined with Extron Pro Series High Speed HDMI Cables allow longer 4K signal runs, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning equipment by compensating for weak source signals or signal loss on long cable runs. Additionally, +5 VDC, 250 mA power is available on the outputs for peripheral devices.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Introduction 1

Page 10

1080p @ 60 Hz Deep Color.

• Supports HDMI 2.0b specification features, including data rates up to 18 Gbps,

Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats.

• HDMI audio de-embedding with digital S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface)

and analog stereo audio outputs — The DXP HD 4K PLUS Series can extract embedded HDMI two-channel LPCM audio to S/PDIF digital and analog audio outputs. It can also extract Dolby® or DTS® encoded bitstream audio to the S/PDIF outputs. The matrix switchers feature multiple sets of S/PDIF and analog outputs, supporting audio assignment from any HDMI input source.

• S/PDIF audio output — The DXP HD 4K PLUS Series includes two S/PDIF outputs for

2-channel LPCM audio or encoded standard definition bitstream audio for Dolby or DTS multi-channel surround sound.

• HDCP 2.2 compliant — Ensures display of content-protected media and

interoperability with other HDCP-compliant devices.

• User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows individual inputs to appear HDCP

compliant or non-HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non-HDCP mode.

• SpeedSwitch Technology provides high switching speed for HDCP-encrypted

content.

• Key Minder continuously verifies HDCP compliance for quick, reliable

switching — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source to one or more displays.

• HDCP authentication and signal presence LED indicators — Front panel LED

indicators for signal presence and HDCP authentication provide real time feedback and monitoring of key performance parameters.

• EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between connected

devices — EDID Minder ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content for display (available through Product Configuration Software [PCS]).

• Support for High Dynamic Range video (HDR) — Enables greater contrast range

and wider color gamut by providing the necessary video bandwidth, color depth, and metadata interchange capability for HDR video.

• Supports DDC transmission — DDC channels are actively buffered, allowing

continuous communication between source and display.

• HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically reformats HDMI source

signals for output to a connected DVI display.

• Automatic input cable equalization — Equalizes inputs to support signals up to 4K

resolution at greater distances.

• Automatic output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of HDMI signals at

each output, enabling transmission over long HDMI cables.

• Provides +5 VDC, 250 mA power on the HDMI outputs for external peripheral

devices

• Global presets — Up to 16 frequently used I/O configurations can be saved and

recalled using the front panel buttons, Ethernet, USB, or serial control. This time-saving feature allows I/O configurations to be set up and stored in memory for future use.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Introduction 2

Page 11

• Rooming — All models can be programmed to group selected outputs into specific

“rooms,” each with its own set of unique presets. Each room can support up to 8 outputs. A total of 10 rooms, with 10 presets per room, are available.

• QS-FPC QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller — Discrete buttons for each input and

output allow for simple, intuitive operation.

• View I/O mode — Discrete LEDs for each input button allow easy viewing of actively

connected inputs and outputs for ease in troubleshooting.

• Output volume control — Provides the capability to mute one or all outputs at

any time. This allows, for example, content to be viewed on a local monitor prior to appearing on the main presentation display.

• Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an analog audio signal on

output 2 away from its corresponding video signal and route it to the audio outputs, allowing the analog audio channels to be operated as a separate switcher.

• Ethernet monitoring and control — Can be monitored, managed, or controlled over

a LAN, WAN, or the Internet using standard TCP/IP protocols.

• RS-232 control port — The matrix switcher can be integrated into a control system.

Extron products use the SIS (Simple Instruction Set) command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming.

• Product Configuration Software (PCS) — The Extron PCS program provides a

means of configuring multiple products using a single software application.

• Front panel USB configuration port — Enables setup, configuration, and firmware

updating without having to access the rear panel.

• Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — Prevents unauthorized use in

non-secure environments.

• Rack-mountable full rack width metal enclosure, 1U high

• Includes Lockit HDMI cable lacing brackets — Secure HDMI cables to the HDMI

connectors.

• Power save mode — The unit can be placed in a low power standby state to

conserve energy when not in use.

• Highly reliable, energy-efficient internal universal power supply — Provides

worldwide power compatibility, with high demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating costs.

EDID Minder

Managing EDID

EDID Minder ensures that each source connected to an input sees the EDID of a display, even when that source is not selected for a display.

Depending on the selected EDID mode, the DXP can store the EDID of the connected display automatically (default), or you can manually select a factory EDID file from a predetermined list. This EDID file is written to a file located at each selected input within the supported video group. All inputs support unique EDID emulation, HDCP, and HDCP Authorization enabling or disabling.

You can manage EDID files using PCS (see the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Help file). You can also select and import EDID files using SIS commands (see the EDID Commands on page 44). (EDID cannot be managed via the front panel.)

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Introduction 3

Page 12

Factory Loaded EDID

The factory loaded EDID stored on the unit are taken from the Extron EDID Standards Folder, which is created on the DXP by PCS. You can choose an EDID file from the folder link via PCS or SIS commands. The HDMI inputs support digital Extron EDID files that are 2 blocks or 256 bytes. The second block contains audio information. The HDMI EDID support 2-channel PCM audio. The default Extron factory EDID file 1080p @ 60 Hz.

Assigned Output EDID

The DXP has four or eight memory slots, depending on the model, for the EDID of the display connected to the output of the matrix switcher.

The unit automatically saves EDID information from the HDMI outputs whenever an output is connected. The EDID information is saved until a new display or device is detected, and the new EDID information overwrites the previous one. The EDID of each output is saved and made available to any input slot. Assigned output EDIDs can be directly assigned to any input via PCS.

Input connectors — Connect HDMI source devices (or DVI sources with the

LAN

appropriate adapters) to these female 19-pin type A HDMI input connectors.

LockIt cable lacing brackets, one for each HDMI input and output connector, are provided with the DXP HD 4K PLUS. These brackets can be used to secure the HDMI cables to the DXP connectors to reduce stress on the HDMI connectors and prevent signal loss due to loose cable connections.

For information on attaching the LockIt brackets, see Securing the HDMI Connectors

Using the LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket on page 11.

Output connectors — Connect HDMI output devices (or DVI devices with the

appropriate adapters) to these female 19-pin type A HDMI output connectors for buffered video output (see Securing the HDMI Connectors Using the LockIt HDMI

Cable Lacing Bracket).

Reset LED — This green LED remains lit while the DXP has power. While the Reset

button (D) is being pressed and held, this LED blinks every 3 seconds to indicate the level of reset that is initiated if the button is released at that point (see Resetting on page 27 for more information).

Reset button — This recessed button initiates four levels (modes) of reset on the DXP

switcher. To initiate the different reset levels, use a pointed object such as a small Philips screwdriver or a stylus to press and hold the button while the switcher is running or while it is being powered up (see Resetting).

Remote RS-232 port — Connect a host device, such as a computer or touchpanel

control, to the switcher via this 3-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector for serial RS-232 control (see Connecting to the Remote RS-232 Port on page 10.

Connect the 9-pin connector end of the RS-232 cable to the serial port of your computer or control system.

LAN port — Connect the DXP switcher to a computer, a network switch, or

a control system via this RJ-45 connector. You can use a computer to configure and control the networked switcher with SIS commands, the PCS configuration software, or the HTML page that is embedded on the switcher (see Connecting to the LAN port on page 9).

Ethernet connection indicators — The green and amber LEDs on the LAN connector indicate the status of the Ethernet connection. The green (link) LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily. The amber (activity) LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.

The default Ethernet settings are:

IP address — 192.168.254.254 Subnet mask — 255.255.0.0 Gateway address — 0.0.0.0

Crossover Cable Straight-through Cable

When connecting a computer to the DXP LAN port, it is essential that you use the correct Ethernet cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout (see figure 4). Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 m).

NOTES:

• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet

• Do not stretch or bend the cables; this can cause transmission errors.

Bracket

After connecting an input or output device to an HDMI connector, secure the connector in place with the provided LockIt bracket (see the illustration at right):

1. Plug one or both HDMI cables into the panel

connection (1).

2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw

from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2).

3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket onto the screw and

slide it up against the HDMI connectors. Tighten the screw to secure the bracket (3).

ATTENTION:

• Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield to which it

fastens is very thin and can easily be stripped.

• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel

elle est attachée est très ﬁn et peut facilement être dénudé.

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connectors and the bracket (4).

5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap,

then remove any excess length (5).

Operation

This section describes the DXP front panel controls and the procedures for configuring and operating the DXP switchers. Topics include:

• Definitions

• Front Panel Controls and Indicators

• Powering On

• Creating or Changing a Configuration

• Viewing a Configuration

• Saving and Recalling Presets

• Muting and Unmuting Outputs from the Front Panel

• Locking and Unlocking the Front Panel (Executive Modes)

• Power Save Modes

• Resetting

• Selecting the Remote RS-232 Port Baud Rate

• Troubleshooting

• Configuration Worksheets

Definitions

The following terms, which apply to Extron digital matrix switchers, are used in this guide:

• Tie — An input-to-output connection

• Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to

more than one input.)

• Configuration — One or more ties or sets of ties

• Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher (also

called configuration 0)

• EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) — Resolution, refresh rate, pixel clock,

and audio channel configuration information for a display device. This information is stored in memory at system power-up and each time a new display device is connected. The EDID is then made available to be assigned to any input. This feature is available only through PCS (see the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series help file).

• Global preset — A configuration that has been stored, consisting of a complete

map of all input and output connections. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. The DXP HD 4K PLUS can store up to 16 global presets in memory.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Operation 12

Page 21

• Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as determined by

the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of which can consist of 1 to 16 outputs. Each room can have up to 10 presets.

• Room preset — A configuration consisting of outputs in a single room that has

been stored. When a room preset is recalled from memory, it becomes the current configuration for the outputs assigned to that room only (none of the other outputs are affected). Room presets can be saved and recalled only via SIS commands or the PCS software.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators

NOTE: When the switcher is in either power-save mode (see Power Save Mode SIS

commands on page 51), all front-panel indicators are unlit with the exception of the I/O Video LED, which blinks continuously.

The buttons on the DXP HD 4K PLUS front panels are grouped into two sets, with the input and output buttons located on the left side of the control panel and the Control and I/O buttons on the right.

Each DXP model has eight input buttons and output buttons, regardless of how many rear panel input and output connectors it actually has.

NOTE: Although the DXP 44 and 84 both have eight input and eight output buttons, not

all these buttons are functional for making ties:

• DXP HD 4K PLUS 44 — Only input and output buttons 1 through 4 are functional,

except for creating and recalling presets (see Saving and Recalling Presets on page 22).

• DXP HD 4K PLUS 84 — All input buttons are enabled, but only output buttons 1

through 4 are functional, except for creating and recalling presets.

At the right of each button is a bicolor LED that lights to indicate the button status or current function. Depending on the operation, the button LEDs blink or light steadily when pressed.

The front panel buttons have multiple functions, which are classified as primary and secondary.

(see Locking and Unlocking the Front Panel (Executive Modes) on page 25).

• View the video or audio mute status of the selected input or output.

• Initiate system reset from the front panel (see Resetting the System from the

Front Panel on page 27).

Audio and Video LEDs — These two LEDs are located to the right of the I/O button

and light to indicate whether the selected input or output is audio or video. The Video LED lights green when the I/O button is pressed to toggle to video. The Audio LED lights red when audio is selected.

The I/O Video LED also blinks while the DXP is in power save mode 1 or 2 (see Power

Save Modes on page 26).

Signal LEDs — The DXP HD 4K PLUS has a green Signal LED for each input. Each

LED lights when a signal (TMDS clock activity) is present on the input.

HDCP LEDs — The DXP HD 4K PLUS has a green HDCP LED for each input, which

lights if the source connected to that input is HDCP encrypted.

Apply power by connecting the provided IEC power cord to the rear panel IEC connector and to an AC source. The switcher performs a self-test as follows:

The front panel input, output, and I/O button LEDs blink red, then green, while the control button LEDs blink green. All LEDs turn off except the I/O LEDs, which light steadily red for several seconds. The I/O LEDs remain lit red while a self-test is performed, during which the green Input Signal and HDCP LEDs also light in order in a clockwise circling pattern. If error-free, the self-test ends with only one of the I/O LEDs lit, reflecting the previous selection of audio or video. If an error occurs during the self-test, the DXP locks up and does not operate. If this occurs, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline (see the last page of this guide for contact information in your area).

The current configuration, EDID information, and all presets are saved in memory. When power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact. The switcher powers up in full power mode (neither power save mode enabled).

Creating or Changing a Configuration

A configuration consists of one or more inputs, each tied to a set of one or more outputs.

• A tie is an input-to-output connection.

• A set of ties is an input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to

more than one input.)

• A configuration is one or more ties, one or more sets of ties, or a combination.

NOTE: If power save mode 2 is enabled (all front panel functions are disabled except for

mode 1 selection), you cannot use the front panel to make ties.

This section contains the steps to follow to create or change a configuration. The following subsections contain some examples of configurations that can be created on the DXP, and instructions for setting them up. To create or change a configuration:

1. Press the Esc button to clear any input, output, or control indicators that may be lit.

2. Select to configure video or audio by repeatedly pressing the I/O button until the

desired LED is lit (green LED for video or red for audio).

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Operation 16

Page 25

3. Select the desired input and outputs by pressing the input and output buttons.

VIDEO

Press the Esc button to clear all selections.

The LED blinks once.

• The input LEDs light one of the following colors:

• Green — Video only ties

• Red — Audio only ties

• The output LEDs light or blink one of the following colors:

• Green — Video only ties

• Red — Audio only ties (output 2 only)

NOTES:

• To indicate potential ties, output LEDs blink in the appropriate color when

an input is selected.

• To indicate current ties, output LEDs light steadily in the appropriate

color when an input is selected.

• To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated output buttons whose

LEDs are lit. To indicate potential unties, output LEDs blink the appropriate color when an output is deselected (muted) but not untied from the input.

4. Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie or to break an existing tie.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create or clear additional ties until the desired

configuration is complete.

NOTES:

• Only one input can be tied to any output. If you tie an input to an output that is

already tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer tie.

• If an input with no tie is selected, only the LED for the selected input lights (no

output LEDs light).

• As each input and output is selected, the associated output LED blinks the

appropriate color to indicate a tentative tie. LEDs for outputs that were already tied to the input light the appropriate color steadily. Outputs that are already tied can be left on, along with new blinking selections, or toggled off by pressing the associated output button.

Creating Ties

NOTES:

• Audio ties are made only with de-embedded audio.

• Before beginning to create ties, ensure the unit is not in power save mode 2 (see

Power Save Modes on page 26).

To tie an input to an output:

1. Press and release the Esc button to clear any input button, output button, or control

button indicators whose LEDs might be lit.

9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

A preset is a complete map of all input and output connections. The current configuration (0) can be saved as a preset in any one of 16 preset memory slots. Preset locations are assigned to the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons, and each switcher has as many presets available from the front panel as it has input and output buttons. In addition, all presets can be saved and recalled from the PCS software and by SIS commands. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.

NOTES:

• Presets cannot be viewed from the front panel unless recalled as the current

conﬁguration. Presets can be viewed using the PCS conﬁguration program (see the

Conﬁguration Software section, beginning on page 57, for more details).

• The current conﬁguration and all presets are stored in non-volatile memory.

When power is removed and restored, the current conﬁguration is still active and all presets are retained.

• When a preset is recalled, it replaces the current conﬁguration, which is lost

unless it is also stored as a preset. The recalled preset overwrites all of the current conﬁguration ties in favor of the preset ties.

• Inputs 1 through 4 correspond to global presets 1 through 4.

• Outputs 1 through 4 correspond to presets 5 through 8.

• Inputs 5 through 8 correspond to presets 9 through 12.

Resetting

Resetting the System from the Front Panel

NOTE: While the DXP is in this mode, you cannot create ties, mute an output, set

the RS-232 baud rate, or save or recall a preset. Before attempting any of these procedures, ensure that the unit is not in power save mode 2 (the Video LED for the

I/O button blinks green continuously and no other front panel buttons respond).

There are several methods by which you can reset the DXP, and some of these methods allow for four levels of resetting. The following reset methods are available on the DXP:

• Front panel buttons (see Resetting the System from the Front Panel)

• Rear panel Reset button (see Resetting Using the Rear Panel Reset Button on

the next page)

• SIS commands (see the Reset Mode commands in the Command and Response

Table for SIS Commands, page 51)

• PCS (see the program help file)

A system reset (also known as a “hard reset”) does the following:

• Clears all ties and presets.

• Clears all video and audio setup and mutes.

NOTE: The system reset does not reset the internet protocol (IP) settings, replace

user-installed firmware, or reset the unit name to the factory default.

The front panel reset is identical to the

commands).

To reset the switcher to the factory default settings (see figure 26 on the next page):

Host and Matrix Switcher Communication

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. Commands can be entered back-to-back in a string with no spaces. When the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the switcher to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).

Copyright Information

The copyright message is displayed upon connecting to a switcher via TCP/IP or Telnet or after a power cycle via RS-232, and depends on the matrix switcher model.

20nn is the year.

DXP nn HD 4K Plus is the model name. Vn.nn is the firmware version number. 60-1495-nn is the model part number.

Device-Initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the matrix switcher responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host. Example switcher-initiated messages are listed here.

• ]

Password:

The ]Password: prompt requires a password (administrator level or user level) followed by a carriage return. If the correct password is entered, the unit responds with

]Login Administrator ] or ] Login User], depending on the password

entered. If passwords are the same for both administrator and user, the switcher defaults to administrator privileges.

NOTE: The password prompt is redisplayed if an incorrect password is entered.

• Qik ]

The switcher initiates the Qik message when a front panel switching operation occurs.

• Rprnn ]

The switcher initiates the Rpr message when a memory preset is recalled from the front panel. nn is the preset number.

• Sprnn]

The switcher initiates the Spr message when a memory preset is saved from the front panel. nn is the preset number.

• nnVmtx]

The switcher initiates the Vmt message when a video output mute is toggled on or off from the front panel. nn is the output number. x is the mute status (0 = off, 1 = on).

• nnAmtx]

The switcher initiates the Amt message when an audio output mute is toggled on or off from the front panel. nn is the output number. x is the mute status (0 = off, 1 = on).

• Exen]

The switcher initiates the Exe message when the Front Panel Lockout mode is toggled on or off from the front panel. n is the mode (0 = off, 1 = view only, 2 = basic mode only)

• HplgOnn]

The switcher initiates the HplgO message when a hot plug event is detected on an output. nn is the output number.

Error Responses

When the switcher receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command, it returns an error response to the host.

Error codes

E01 — Invalid input number

E10 — Invalid command

E11 — Invalid preset number

E12 — Invalid output number

E13 — Invalid parameter

E14 — Not valid for this configuration

E17 — Invalid command for signal type

E18 — System or command timed out

E21 — Invalid room number

E22 — Busy

E24 — Privilege violation

E25 — Device not present

E26 — Maximum number of connections

exceeded

E27 — Invalid event number

E28 — Bad filename or file not found

Error response references

These references in the command and response tables note particular error responses to that command. For example:

= Commands that give an E24 (privilege violation) error if not administrator level

Connection Timeouts

An Ethernet link disconnects after a designated period of no communications. By default, this timeout duration is 5 minutes (see the Port Timeout commands on page 54 to change this value).

NOTE: Extron recommends periodically issuing query commands (see the Information

Requests commands, beginning on page 52) to keep the connection active. If

there are long idle periods, Extron recommends disconnecting and reopening the connection when another command must be sent.

Number of Connections

A DXP HD 4K PLUS Series switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including all http and Telnet connections. When the connection limit is reached, the switcher 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, keep the number of connections low and close unnecessary ones.

Using the Command and Response Table

The Command and Response Table beginning on page 43 lists the commands that the switcher recognizes as valid, the responses that are returned to the host, a description of the command function or the results of executing the command, and examples of commands in ASCII.

NOTE: Upper- and lowercase text can be used interchangeably unless otherwise

stated.

Verbose Mode

The connection to a DXP switcher can be used to monitor for changes that occur on the switcher, such as front panel operations and SIS commands from a TCP/IP connection or the RS-232 serial port. To receive change notices from the switcher, you must enable verbose mode 1 or 3 (see the Verbose Mode commands on page 51). In verbose mode 1 or 3, changes are reported in messages that resemble SIS command responses.

Reference Information

This section provides reference information on the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series. The following topics are discussed:

• Mounting the Switcher

• Network Setup

Mounting the Switcher

The DXP HD 4K PLUS series switchers can be placed on a table top (with the four provided rubber feet attached) or mounted to a standard 19-inch rack.

UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the DXP into a rack:

• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed

or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by Extron.

• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air flow

required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

• Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical

loading does not create a hazardous condition.

• Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit,

consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider 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).

Rack Mounting Procedures

Using a 19-inch rack shelf kit (available at www.extron.com), mount the unit to the rack, following the instructions provided with the mounting kit.

Network Setup

What is an IP Address?

An IP address is a 32-bit binary number that is used to identify each device on an Ethernet network. This number is usually represented by four decimal numbers (called “octets”), each in the range of 0 through 255 and separated by dots; for example, 198.123.34.240. This is called “dotted decimal notation.”

An IP address is divided into two parts:

• Network identifier

• Host identifier

Each address on a given network must have the same network identifier value but have a unique host identifier. As a result, there are different classes of addresses that define the range of valid addresses and the parts of the address that are used for the network and host identifiers.

The most common IP address classes are:

Class Name Valid Address Range Identifier Arrangement

Class A 0.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.254

Class B 128.0.0.1 to 191.255.255.254

Class C 192.0.0.1 to 223.255.255.254

NNN.HHH.HHH.HHH

NNN.NNN.HHH.HHH

NNN.NNN.NNN.HHH

NNN refers to the network identifier and HHH refers to the host identifier.

Choosing IP Addresses

If the computer and the DXP are directly connected or connected via their own independent network, follow the guidelines below for choosing the IP addresses.

However, if you intend to connect your computer and switcher to an existing network, you need to advise the network administrator and ask the administrator to allocate suitable IP addresses.

On an independent network, it is generally recommended that you use the Class C format (from 192.0.0.1 to 223.255.255.254).

There are two rules for choosing IP addresses:

• Network identifier must be the same for each IP address

• Host identifier must be unique for each address.

Applying these rules to Class C addresses, the first three decimal values of your IP address must all be the same while the last value is used to uniquely identify each device.

The following is an example of a valid Class C addressing scheme:

Device IP Address

Matrix Switcher Control Software computer 192.168.180.41

DXP HD 4K PLUS switcher 192.168.180.42

NOTE: The host identifiers (41 and 42 in the above example) do not need to be

sequential or in any particular order. However, it is recommended that you group the numbers for simplicity.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Reference Information 73

Page 82

Subnet Mask

The following is an example of an invalid Class C addressing scheme:

Device IP Address

Matrix Switcher Control Software computer 168.192.180.41

DXP HD 4K PLUS switcher 192.168.180.42

NOTE: The above addresses are invalid because the network identifier for each

address is not the same even though each IP address is unique.

You can perform a test from your computer to check that a device at a particular address is responding correctly or to determine its address (see Pinging for the IP Address).

The subnet mask is another 32-bit binary number that is used to “mask” certain bits of the IP address. This provides a method of extending the number of network options for a given IP address. It works by allowing part of the host identifier to be used as a subnet identifier.

It is important that you set the correct value for the subnet mask. The basic values depend on the class of IP address being used.

Class Name Subnet Mask

Class A 255.0.0.0

Class B 255.255.0.0

Class C 255.255.255.0

(See Subnetting, a Primer, on page 77, for more information.)

Pinging for the IP Address

To access the DXP switcher via the Ethernet port, you need the switcher 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 DXP

switcher.

Ping to determine Extron IP address

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

Ping the switcher as follows:

1. From the Windows Start menu, select Run... . The Run window opens.

2. In the Open text field, enter command.

3. Click OK. A command window opens.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Reference Information 74

Page 83

4. At the command prompt, enter ping IP address. The computer returns a display

similar to figure 49.

The line Pinging ... reports the actual numeric IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

Figure 49. Ping Response

Connecting as a Telnet Client

The Telnet utility is available from the command prompt (you may need to install the Telnet client on your PC first). Telnet allows you to input SIS commands to the DXP switcher from the PC via the Ethernet link and the LAN.

Starting Telnet

Access the command prompt and start Telnet as follows:

1. On the Start menu, enter telnet in the Search field.

2. Click OK. The computer returns a display similar to figure 50.

Figure 50. Telnet Screen

Operating using Telnet

It is not the intention of this guide to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet. However, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the DXP switcher via Telnet.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Reference Information 75

Page 84

Connecting to the DXP (Open command)

Connect to the DXP switcher using the Open command. After your computer is connected to the switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you would if you were using the RS-232 link.

Connect to the DXP as follows:

1. At the Telnet prompt, enter open IP address.

• If the switcher is not password-protected, no further prompts are displayed

until you disconnect from the DXP switcher.

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

2. If necessary, enter the password at the password prompt.

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 DXP switching

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 switcher is delivered with both passwords set to “carriage return.”

When you are logged in, the switcher returns either Login Administrator or Login

User. No further prompts are displayed until you disconnect from the DXP switcher.

Escape character and Esc key

Many SIS commands include the keyboard <Esc> key. Consequently, some confusion may exist between the Escape character and the <Esc> key.

When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the Escape character is “Ctrl+].” This means that 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 DXP switcher intact.

Local echo

Once your computer is connected to the DXP switcher, 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 switcher.

With local echo turned on, keystrokes and the switcher responses are displayed on the same line.

Example: 1*1!In1 Out1 All,

where 1*1! is the SIS command and In1 Out1 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 DXP switcher, and you need to access the Telnet prompt to turn local echo off, enter the Escape sequence (<Ctrl + ]>).

Setting carriage return-line feed

Octets

Unless commanded otherwise, Telnet transmits a line feed character only (no carriage return) to the connected switcher when you press the <Enter> 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; however, if crlf is set, the SIS link with the switcher does not function properly.

Closing the link to the switcher

To close the link to the switcher, access the Telnet prompt by entering the escape sequence (<Ctrl +

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 DXP switcher, 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 DXP switcher and the mail server gateway. To understand subnetting at the level required to install and operate the DXP switcher, you must understand the concepts of a gateway, local and remote devices, IP addresses and octets, and subnet masks and octets.

]

>). At the Telnet prompt, enter close.

Gateways

The DXP switcher 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).

IP addresses and octets

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric sub-fields, called “octets,” which are separated by dots (see figure 51). Each octet can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeros, up to three digits total per octet, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

Subnet masks and octets

Octets

compared between two IP addresses

The subnet mask (see figure 52) 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 three 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 should be compared when determining if two devices are on the same subnet.

255 indicates that this octet is

255.255.0.0Typical Subnet Mask:

0 indicates that this octet is not compared between two IP addresses

Figure 52. Subnet Mask and Octets

Determining whether devices are on the same subnet

To determine the subnet, the local device IP address is compared to the remote device IP address (see figure 53). The octets of each address 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

address and the remote device IP address are unmasked.

Unmasked octets are compared (indicated by ? in figure 53).

• If the subnet mask octet contains the value 0, the related octets of the local device and

remote device IP addresses are masked.

Masked octets are not compared (indicated by n in figure 53).

If the unmasked octets of the two IP addresses match (indicated by = in example 1 of figure 53), the two addresses are on the same subnet.

If the two unmasked fields do not match (indicated by an unequal sign in figure 53, examples 2 and 3), the addresses are not on the same subnet.
