About the MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel

MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel • Table of Contents

Introduction

This manual provides installation and operation instructions for the Extron MKP 2000.

About the MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel

The MKP 2000 is a network-ready remote control panel that can control any Extron matrix switcher. The MKP’s RS-232 ports allow it to communicate with other devices (another MKP or a matrix switcher) locally and its Ethernet port allows it to communicate with multiple devices.

An MKP 2000 user can remotely create ties by specifying an input and then an output to be tied to the input. The MKP can also be dedicated to a specific group of inputs and outputs when configured using the built-in Web pages.

The MKP 2000 panel is mounted in a two-gang wall plate that can be installed in a wall, conference table, podium, or other convenient location.

The matrix switcher system can have up to 128 inputs and 128 outputs. However, for example, a conference room may have three input devices and two output devices; a training room next door may have four input devices and one output device; and so on. Typically, each room will have one or more MKP control panels assigned to it, with each MKP limited to the inputs and outputs that it can control.

In the example in figure 1-1, the “presentation room” (top, center) has one output device, a projector (C), and four input devices: a video camera (13), a laptop computer (12), and two PCs (11 and 14). The “Media Room” (bottom, right) contains the matrix switcher, as well as other inputs (1-6) and possibly some control device(s).

Figure 1-1 — Typical MKP 2000 applications

An overflow crowd in the video conference room and/or the training room may need to see a lecture going on in the presentation room. In this case, the video camera (input 13) must be available to those other rooms. Therefore, the MKPs in the video conference and training rooms will be programmed to allow selection of input 13 for displays in those rooms, in addition to any video sources and/or displays there.

RS-232 connection to the switcher

Any number of MKP 2000s can be connected to a matrix switcher through its RS-232 port, but one MKP must be designated as the primary controller. Other MKPs can be daisychained through the primary MKP remote control panel.

Installation

CAUTION

Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. UL Listed electrical boxes are recommended. See “UL Requirements for Wall Box Installation” on the next page.

The MKP 2000 remote control panel should be installed in a standard, 2-gang electrical wall box (figure 2-1). Figure 2-1 shows the MKP installed in a wall. It could also be installed in a desk, a podium, or any other convenient location.

The procedures provided here assume that the electrical wall boxes and the cables have been installed for the system. “Rear Panel and Side Panel Connections,” starting on page 2-8, provides guidance for terminating the cables.

MKP Installation Overview

To install an MKP 2000 remote control panel, follow these steps:

Disconnect power from the matrix switcher and all MKPs

in the system.

Prepare the site by cutting a hole in the wall or furniture,

Preparing the site and installing the mounting bracket (mud ring) or wall box

Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. You may need to install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the control panel.

The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the equipment’s size requirements. A cutout template that shows the cutout requirement for the circuitry enclosure on the rear of the control panel is provided in appendix A.

CAUTION

Extron recommends installation using a UL listed wall box (available from Extron) for most mounting options, but you can use the included mounting brackets (mud rings) instead.

CAUTION

Install the mud ring or wall box as follows:

1. If you are using a mud ring, use the template that came

with the mud ring. Cut out the indicated center portion.

If you are using a wall box, refer to the cutout template in appendix A that corresponds to the faceplate you are using; and cut out the center portion of it as indicated on the template.

2. Place the wall box or mud ring against the installation

surface or measure the cut according to the template, and mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall or furniture.

3. Cut out the wall or furniture material from the marked

area.

The templates provided in this manual are not to scale. They are provided for reference only.

Before using the mud rings, verify that the installation conforms to national and local electrical codes.

Extron provides one mud ring with each MKP control panel. However, you may choose to use a wall box. Because the tolerances on electrical boxes are very loose, Extron recommends that you measure the actual box that you plan to use before making any precise cuts.

The electrical box must be at least 2.5" (7 cm) deep to accommodate the MKP’s rear enclosure.

To meet the UL listing requirements, the MKP must be installed in a wall box.

4. Check the size of the opening by inserting the wall box,

mud ring, or control panel into it. The box or mud ring (if used) and/or control panel should fit easily into the opening. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.

5. If you are using a wall box, feed cables through the wall

box punch-out holes, and secure them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.

6. Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources

of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with heat shrink (figure 2-2).

To prevent short circuits, you can cut back the outer foil shield to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp. Both braided and foil shields should be connected to an equipment ground at the other end of the cable.

RS-232 cable termination

Each MKP control panel has two RS-232 ports that are connected using 3.5 mm, 3-pole direct insertion connectors. Wire the connectors as follows:

The total cable length between an MKP control panel and a matrix switcher should not exceed 100 feet (30 m).

1. Choose a cable such as Extron’s Comm-Link cable. The

wire specifications for Comm-Link cable are on page A-6. Colors may vary from this example.

2. Trim approximately 1.5" (3.8 cm) of the cable jacket to

expose the four insulated wires and a bare drain wire (silver-colored).

3. Cut off the foil shield and discard it.

4. Strip ¼" ( 0.6 cm) of insulation from any three of the four

wires (not including the drain [unshielded] wire).

5. Twist the strands of each wire, insert the strands into the

direct insertion connector, and tighten the captive screws.

TP cable termination

It is vital that you use the correct Ethernet cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 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' (100 m).

CAUTION

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

Do not stretch or bend cables. This can cause transmission errors.

The cable that you use depends on your network speed. The MKP supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and fullduplex, Ethernet connections.

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

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

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable, and must be properly terminated for your application.

• Patch (straight-through) cable — Network connection between the MKP and an Ethernet LAN (figure 2-10)

• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the MKP and a host computer or an Ethernet-enabled matrix switcher (figure 2-9)

Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the MKP. Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord (figure 2-13).

The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16" (5 mm). Longer

bare wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as secure in the direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out.

Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the direct insertion connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.

The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

Viewing and configuring the IP and MKP setup parameters

To configure the MKP to operate in your network, you may need to change one or more of the following IP addresses and the host control port setting:

• The MKP’s IP address (default = 192.168.254.253)

• The MKP’s subnet address (default = 255.255.0.0)

• The MKP’s gateway address (default = 0.0.0.0)

• The target matrix switcher’s IP address (default = 0.0.0.0)

• Host control port setting (pass-through or no passthrough) (default = no pass-through)

• MKP’s connection setting

 Primary — Controls the switcher directly.  Secondary — Controls the switcher through another

MKP and its Switch RS-232 port.

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields (octets) separated by dots (periods). Each octet can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to three digits total per octet, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

If any of the default addresses conflict with other equipment at your installation, you can change them to any valid value.

CAUTION

Editing the Extron IP address and other parameters while connected via the LAN port can immediately disconnect you from the MKP. Extron recommends editing this field using the front panel or the RS-232 link, and protecting the Ethernet access to these parameters by assigning an administrator’s password to only qualified and knowledgeable personnel.

Edit these addresses and set the host control as follows:

1. Simultaneously press and hold the Input, Output, and

Figure 3-9 — Performing a hard reset

Performing a hard reset

The hard reset function restores the MKP to its original factory default firmware configuration. A hard reset erases all userinstalled software or firmware.

Follow these steps to perform a hard reset:

Ensure that you have backed up any locally-created HTML, JavaScript, or other files that have been uploaded to the MKP’s user file space before you perform the hard reset. A hard reset will erase all locally-created files from the MKP.

The hard reset does not change the IP address, the subnet mask, the gateway address, or the matrix switcher IP address.

RS-232 Links

The MKP’s rear panel 3-pole, 3.5 mm, Host RS-232 connector (figure 4-1) can be connected to the RS-232 serial port output of a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility, an RS-232 capable PDA, or a control system. This connection makes software control of the control panel possible. The rear panel Switch connector can be connected to the Remote or RS-232 port of a matrix switcher.

The default protocol for both ports is as follows:

• 9600 baud*

• 8-bit, 1 stop bit

• No parity

• No flow control

Routing matrix switcher commands

When the MKP is connected to the matrix switcher via its Switch RS-232 port, the MKP can redirect SIS matrix switcher commands received on the Host RS-232 port to the matrix switcher.

If the MKP receives a valid matrix switcher SIS command on its Host RS-232 port, it redirects the command to its Switch RS-232 port only if the MKP is set to pass-through mode. See the passthrough port redirect command set on page 4-9 to set the passthrough mode.

* The default baud rate is 9600, but this can be changed,

using the MKP’s web pages, to 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud to match the switcher’s baud rate. See “Port (RS-232) Settings” in chapter 5, “HTML Operation,”

to change the baud rate.

Ethernet Link

The rear panel LAN connector on the MKP can be connected directly to a host computer (for setup) or a matrix switcher (for switcher control), or to an Ethernet LAN or WAN (to which a host computer, other MKPs, and a matrix switcher can also be connected).

• Connection directly to a host computer requires a crossover cable.

• Connection via an Ethernet LAN requires a patch (straight-through) cable.

See “TP cable termination” in chapter 2, “Installation,” to create crossover and patch cables.

Default IP address

To access the MKP via the Ethernet port, you need the Extron IP address. If the address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, you can determine the actual numeric IP address using the ping (ICMP) utility. If the address has not been changed, the factory-specified default is

192.168.254.253.

Host-to-MKP Instructions

The MKP accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands through the Host RS-232 and Ethernet ports. 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 MKP 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.

MKP-Initiated (Unsolicited) Messages

When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the MKP responds by sending a message to the host. The MKPinitiated messages are listed below (underlined).

MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel • SIS™ Operation

4-34-2

SIS™ Operation, cont’d

The MKP initiates the copyright message when it is first powered on or when connection via Internet protocol (IP) is established. Vx.xx is the firmware version number; Www indicates the day of the week (IP).

Password:

The MKP initiates the password message immediately after the copyright message when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet, and the MKP is password protected. This message means that the MKP requires an administrator or user level password in order for it to perform the commands entered via this link. The MKP repeats the password message response for every entry other than a valid password until a valid password is entered.

The MKP initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user password has been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same, the MKP defaults to administrator privileges.

MKP Error Responses

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

E01 — Invalid input channel number (too large) E10 — Invalid command E12 — Invalid output number (too large) E13 — Invalid value (out of range) E14 — Illegal command for this configuration E24 — Privilege violation (Ethernet, Extron software only) E99 — Invalid or no response from target switcher

Using the Command/Response Table

The command/response table begins on page 4-9. Lowercase letters are acceptable in the command field except where indicated for the gain and attenuation commands. The table below shows the hexadecimal equivalent of each ASCII character used in the command/response table.

ASCII to HEX Conversion Table

•

The MKP always redirects a subset of valid matrix switcherspecific SIS commands on its Ethernet port and, if configured in pass-through mode, on its Switch RS-232 port.

It is not the purpose of this manual to define in detail the passed-through matrix switcher-specific SIS commands. Refer to the applicable matrix switcher’s manual.

Symbols are used throughout the tables to represent variables in the command/response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the MKP SIS commands table.

HTML Operation

You can use a Web browser, such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, to configure the MKP through its Ethernet port, when it is connected via a LAN or WAN. The browser’s display of the MKP’s configuration 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 matrix switcher is unstable, try turning off the proxy server in your Web browser as follows:

1. In Microsoft’s Internet Explore, select Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings.

2. Clear the “Use a proxy server...” check box.

Figure 5-1 — Enter Network Password page

3. Click Ok.

Downloading the Startup Page

Access the MKP using HTML pages as follows:

1. Start the Web browser program.

2. Enter the MKP’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.

If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory-specified default, 192.168.254.253, is the correct value for this field.

3. If you want the browser to display a page other than the

default MKP 2000 Web page (such as a custom page that you have created and uploaded), enter a slash (/) after the address, and the name of the Web page file that you want to display.

The browser’s Address field should display the address in the following format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/{optional_file_name.html}.

Using any of the following characters results in an invalid name: {space} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.

4. Press Enter on your keyboard. The MKP checks to see if it

is password protected.

• If the MKP is not password protected, proceed to step 6.

• If the MKP has a password, the network password prompt window appears (figure 5-1).

A User Name entry is not required.

5. In the Password field, enter the appropriate administrator

or user password. Click OK. The MKP checks several possibilities, in the following

order, and then responds accordingly:

• If the address includes a specific file name, such as

10.13.156.10/file_name.html, the MKP downloads that HTML page.

• If there is a file in the MKP’s memory that is named

“index.html,” the MKP downloads “index.html” as the default startup page.

• If neither file is found, the MKP downloads the

System Status page (figure 5-2), which is the factoryinstalled default startup page with the file name “nortxe_index.html”.

You can now select the tabs at the top of the screen to display additional pages that enable you to configure and control the MKP 2000.

IP Settings section

In this section, you enter all IP-related information for your MKP 2000. After making all desired changes to the fields in this section, click the Submit button at the bottom of the section to implement your changes. Click Cancel if you want to reject all your changes and restore the previous settings.

Unit Name field

The Unit Name field contains the locally-assigned name of the MKP. This name field can be changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

Using any of the following characters results in an invalid name: + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.

DHCP radio buttons

The DHCP On radio button directs the MKP to ignore any entered IP addresses and to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the network is DHCP capable).

The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off. Contact the local system administrator to determine if DHCP is appropriate.

IP Address field

The IP Address field contains the IP address of the MKP. This value is encoded in the MKP’s flash memory.

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields (octets) separated by dots (periods). Each octet can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to three digits per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.253, but if this conflicts with other equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.

CAUTION

Gateway IP Address field

The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the switcher that will be used if the MKP and the switcher are not on the same subnet.

The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the MKP’s IP address. The default gateway address is

000.000.000.000.

IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system administrators should change IP addresses.

Subnet Mask field

A subnet is a subset of a network — a set of IP devices that have portions of their IP addresses in common. The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the MKP is on the same subnet as the switcher’s server when you are subnetting. The default is 255.255.000.000.

MAC Address field

The Media Access Control (MAC) address is hardcoded in the MKP and cannot be changed.

Firmware field

The Firmware field displays the currently version of firmware that is currently loaded on your MKP.

Model field

The Model field shows the name of your MKP model: MKP 2000.

Part Number field

The Part Number field contains the part number of your MKP model. For the MKP 2000, this field displays “60-682-00.”

Switcher Control Settings section

This section contains switcher settings that can be configured via the MKP. After making all desired changes to the fields in this section, click the Submit button at the bottom of the section to implement your changes. Click Cancel if you want to reject all your changes and restore the previous settings.

MKP Connection Priority settings

Select the radio button for the type of connection that exists between the MKP and the switcher.

• Primary – RS-232 Connection to Switcher — The MKP

directly controls the matrix switcher via its Switch RS-232 port.

• Secondary – IP Connection to Primary MKP — The MKP

controls the switcher through another (primary) MKP’s Internet address.

• IP Connection to Switcher — The MKP directly controls

the switcher through the Ethernet (IP) port.

Host Control Port settings

If Primary – RS-232 has been selected in the MKP Connection Priority section, select one of the following radio buttons to specify how the Host RS-232 port will function:

• MKP 2000 — Commands received on the Host RS-232

port are executed by the MKP.

• Pass Through — Commands received on the Host RS-232

port are forwarded to the connected switcher via the Switch RS-232 port.

If either Secondary – IP Connection to Primary MKP or IP Connection to Switcher was selected in the MKP Connection Priority section, the Host Control Port Settings selections are grayed out and unavailable.

Switcher Size settings

The MKP cannot determine the matrix size of the switcher to which it is connected. You must use the Switcher Size drop boxes to specify the number of inputs and outputs.

The default switcher size is 16 x 16.

After you set the size of the connected switcher’s input/ output matrix, if you attempt to use the front panel to tie to an input or output that is outside the available range for your MKP or your connected matrix switcher, the LED display shows N-A.

Switcher IP settings/Primary MKP settings

Depending on the connection type selected in the MKP Connection Priority section, you can enter an IP address and password (if one was assigned) for the switcher or the MKP. The address and password are required for the MKP and the matrix switcher to communicate via their RJ-45 LAN connections. The default IP address value is 000.000.000.000.

• Primary – RS-232 Connection to Switcher — The IP

address fields are unavailable.

• Secondary – IP Connection to Primary MKP — Enter the

IP address and/or password for the MKP that is directly controlling the switcher (via IP or RS-232).

• IP Connection to Switcher — Enter the IP address and/or

the password for the switcher.

Authorized Inputs and Authorized Outputs section

You can use the Authorized Inputs and Authorized Outputs drop boxes to narrow the number of inputs and outputs that are controllable from the MKP.

When you have set the size of the connected switcher’s input/output matrix, the LED display shows N-A if you attempt to tie to an input or output outside the available range for this MKP or the connected matrix switcher from the front panel.

Front Panel Configuration Lock section

Select the radio button for the executive mode that locks or unlocks the MKP front panel. The available modes are:

Administrator — All front panel controls are unlocked. User — Limited front panel control is enabled (input and output

selection only). Panel configuration and IP and switcher addressing are not available.
