available in 3U, 4U, or 5U frames. Each frame has horizontal
rear panel slots into which optional I/O boards can be
inserted in any configuration and signal type as listed below:
As used in this guide the terms “video model” and
“audio model” refers to any SMX switcher that switches
video and audio respectively. The terms "SMX matrix
switcher", SMX switcher", "SMX", and "switcher" are
refer to a typical SMX System MultiMatrix Switcher.
For detailed information on the product described in this
guide, refer to the SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers

SMX switchers are available in 3U, 4U, or 5U frames.
The number, type, and arrangement of I/O boards in your
switcher may differ from that shown in figure 2-1.
Installation and cabling
Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and rack mount the SMX,
following the detailed instructions in chapter 2, SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers User’s Manual found online at www.extron.com.
Step 2 — Connect inputs
Connect inputs from video and/or audio sources to the applicable I/O
board connectors marked “Inputs” (see table on page 1-2 for connector/
signal types).
Step 3 — Connect outputs
Connect audio and video output devices to the applicable I/O board
connectors marked “Outputs” (see table on page 1-2). See page A-3 for
audio connector wiring details
2-2
SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers • Installation
Also refer to the SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers User’s Manual at www.extron.com.
Page 9
Step 4 — Connect control devices
LAN Ethernet port— Connect to an Ethernet LAN or WAN via this
RJ-45 connector b to control the switcher from a remote location, using
a PC’s Internet browser. See page A-2 for network cable termination
method.
The Ethernet connection indicator LEDs marked “Link” and “Act”,
indicate the status of the SMX’s Ethernet connection. The Link LED
lights green when connected to an Ethernet LAN, and the Act LED
flickers amber, as the devices communicate.
N
Remote port — For serial RS-232 or RS-422 control, connect a
host computer or control system via this 9-pin D connector d.
RS-232 protocol (default values):
• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • no parity • 8 data bits • no ow control.
N
Step 5 — Connect power
AC power connector— Plug in a standard IEC power cord from a 100 to
240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz power source into this receptacle
Step 6 — Set plane address
Set the plane address (0-15) with the 16 position (0-F) rotary encoder
Do not use standard telephone cables, as they do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet. Do not stretch or bend cables as transmission errors
could occur.
See chapter 4, “SIS
™
Programming and Control”, in the SMX User’s
Manual, for definitions of the SIS commands. See chapter 5, “SMX
Software” to install and use the control software.

I/O Presets
The SMX has a total of thirty-two global preset (using I/O
buttons 1-16) and ten plane preset (input buttons 1-10)
addresses available.
Global preset — Saves and recalls configurations for all planes.
Use the input buttons (for presets 1 through 16) and output
buttons (for presets 17 through 32) to save any current tie
configuration to any one of the presets.
Plane preset — Saves and recalls the configurations for a specific
plane, without affecting the other plane connections. Use input
buttons 1-10 to save a plane preset.
Global and plane preset addresses
Read all the notes below.
N
Presets cannot be viewed from the front panel unless
recalled as the current configuration. Presets can be seen
using the Windows
®
-based SMX Control Program.
Refer to the SMX User's Manual.
The current configuration and all presets are stored in
non-volatile memory. When power is removed and
restored, the current configuration remains active and all
presets are retained.
Only lit presets can be recalled. When a preset is recalled,
it replaces the current configuration, and overwrites
all of the current ties in favor of its own ties. Current
configuration is lost unless previously stored as a preset.
Audio gain settings are not saved with the preset and do
not change when a preset is recalled. Only the audio and
video ties are stored and recalled.

There is only one audio level setting per input and one per
output on an audio plane. The audio level and volume is
shared by the left and right inputs and outputs.
Audio levels and volumes are stored in nonvolatile memory.
When power is removed or restored, settings are retained.
If the audio is set to "follow all", at initial selection (step 2)
the I/O plane and tied I/O buttons light amber. When an
input or output button is held (step 3), the plane blinks red.
Adjusting the Output Audio Volume
The audio output level of each output can be displayed and
adjusted through a range of 64 steps (1 dB per step 0% to 100%).
The audio level can be adjusted from the front panel, RS-232, or
through Ethernet. Adjustment is attenuation only.
N
Using the front panel
Example: Reduce output 3's (on plane 4) audio volume to 65.5%.
Follow steps 1, 2, and 3 as shown in the previous section
("Adjusting the Input Audio Level"), page 3-9.
Refer to the SMX Users Manual for adjustment methods
using SIS commands.
Front panel adjustment and viewing are only available
when the unit is in Lock mode 0.

After a mode 1 reset is performed, update the switcher’s

firmware version that results from the mode 1 reset. If you
want to use the factory default firmware, you must upload
that version again.
If you do not want to update firmware, or you performed a
mode 1 reset by mistake, cycle power to the switcher to return
to the firmware version that was running before the mode 1
reset. Use the 0Q SIS command to confirm that the factory
default firmware is no longer running (look for the asterisk [*]
following the version number

Connection time-outs
The Ethernet link times out and disconnects after a designated
period of time of no communications. By default, this time-out
value is set to five minutes but the value can be changed.
N
Number of connections
A switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections,
including all HTTP sockets and Telnet connections. When the
limit is reached, the switcher accepts no new connections until
some have been closed. No error message or indication is given
that the limit has been reached. To maximize performance
unnecessary open sockets should be closed.
Verbose mode
Telnet connections to a switcher can be used to monitor changes
that occur on the switcher. The Telnet session must be in
verbose mode 1 or 3. See the Verbose Mode command in the SIS
command tables.
Extron recommends leaving the default time-out at five
minutes and periodically issuing the Query (Q) command
to keep the connection active or disconnecting the socket
and reopening the connection when necessary.

Cabling and Connector Wiring
Ethernet cables must be of the correct type, properly terminated
relevant to the application, and with the correct pinout.
Choosing a network cable
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).
Half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections allowed.
The cable used depends on the network speed:
10 Mbps (10Base-T Ethernet) requires, at a minimum, •
CAT 3 UTP or STP cable.
100 Mbps (100Base-T Fast Ethernet) requires, at a •
minimum, CAT 5 UTP or STP cable.
Terminating the network cable
Terminate as either a patch or a crossover cable (see below).
Patch (straight) cable• — Connecting the SMX to an
Ethernet hub, router, or switcher also hosting a controlling
computer
Crossover cable• — Direct connection between the SMX
and a controlling computer

A mono audio connector consists of the tip and sleeve,
whereas a stereo audio connector consists of the tip, ring,
and sleeve. The tip, ring, and sleeve wires are also shown
above (balanced inputs).
See the SMX User’s Manual, chapter 3, “Operation and
Setup”, for details about setting up the audio.

Audio output connectors — Connect audio output devices to
the 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors (up to two groups
of eight sets possible). The connectors output unamplified, line
level audio. See the figure below for wiring details.
