• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • no parity • 8 data

• no ﬂow

bits

NOTE: See the SMX User Guide for more details.

Connecting Power

Plug in a standard IEC power cord from a 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source into the rear panel.

Setting Plane Addresses

Set the plane address (0-15) of each I/O board with the 16 position (0-F) rotary encoder. Each board can be set to any plane address, including multiple boards to the same address.

Installing Additional I/O Boards

The I/O boards used in any installation will vary and can be installed and changed as desired.

NOTE: All boards are hot-swapable and can be installed without

shutting down the SMX or removing the power.

utton.

The rear panel has a recessed Reset button (see page 3) that initiates four levels of resets (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5). Use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to access it and select the reset level.

See the Reset Mode Table on page 17 for a summary of the modes.

CAUTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong

reset mode may result in unintended loss of ﬂash memory programming, port reassignment, or a controller reboot.

NOTES: • The reset modes listed below close all open IP and

Telnet connections and sockets. Also, the following modes are separate functions, not a continuation from mode 1 to mode 5.

• If the reset button is continuously held down, the I/O

lights ﬂash every 3 seconds as the next reset level is reached, corresponding to modes 3, 4, and 5.

Reset Mode Uses

Use mode 1 to revert to the factory default ﬁrmware version if compatibility issues arise with user-loaded ﬁrmware (see notes on page 17).

Use mode 3 to restart the communication and control events.

Use mode 4 to reset most IP protocols to their default settings.

Use mode 5 to restore the switcher to the default conditions.

NOTE: Mode 5 reset clears most adjustment. To save these

settings, use the SMX Control Program and the File >

Save MATRIX settings as... selection before you

perform this reset (see Conguration and Control on page 32).

Mode 1

Press and hold the Reset button.

Modes 3, 4, and 5

4 Hold down the Reset button

for 6 seconds, until the Reset LED blinks twice (once at 3 seconds, again at 6 seconds) then press Reset momentarily (<1 second) within 1 second.

Mode 4:

• Enables ARP capability

• Sets IP address to factory default

• Sets subnet address to factory default

• Sets gateway address to factory default

• Sets port mapping to factory default

• Turns DHCP off

• Turns events off

The Reset LED ﬂashes four times in quick succession conﬁrming the Reset.

5 Hold down the Reset button

for 9 seconds, until the Reset LED blinks three times (once at 3 seconds, again at 6 seconds, and then again at 9 seconds). Then press Reset momentarily (<1 second) within 1 second.

Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory defaults (with the exception of the ﬁrmware):

• Does everything mode 4 does

• Resets almost all real time adjustments:

clears all ties and presets, clears all audio or RS-232 mutes, clears all I/O grouping, clears all RGB delay settings to zero, and clears all input and output audio settings (see the SMX User Guide for more details on these features)

• Resets all IP options

• Removes/clears all ﬁles for the SMX

The reset LED ﬂashes four times in quick succession conﬁrming the reset.

NOTES: • After a mode 1 reset is performed, update the firmware

to the latest version. Do not operate the SMX firmware version that results from the mode 1 reset. To use factory default firmware, 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 SMX 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.

Setting the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes)

The SMX has three levels of front panel security lock.

Lock mode 0 — The front panel is completely unlocked and all basic and advanced features are available.

Lock mode 1 (Executive mode) — All changes are locked from the front panel (except for View mode and setting Lock mode 2).

Lock mode 2 (Advanced Executive mode) — Basic functions are unlocked. Advanced features are locked and can be viewed only (default mode).

NOTE: The SMX is shipped from the factory in Lock mode 2.

Basic features consist of making ties, saving and recalling presets, setting input audio gain and attenuation, and changing lock modes.

Advanced features consist of setting video and audio output mutes, setting audio output volume, setting RGB delay (VGA, RGBHV boards), and setting the rear panel remote port protocol and baud rate (see the SMX User Guide to adjust many of these features).

1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the SMX IP address

2. If the SMX is not password-protected, the device is now ready to

Connection time-outs

The Ethernet link disconnects after a designated period of no communications. By default, this time-out value is set to 5 minutes but the value can be changed.

commands (see the SMX User Guide for a complete list).

NOTE: The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.

The SMX responds with a copyright message including the date, the name of the product, ﬁrmware version, part number, and the current date and time.

accept SIS commands.

If the SMX is password-protected, enter the appropriate password. If accepted, the SMX responds with Login User or Login

Administrator. If the password is not accepted, the Password

prompt reappears.

NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default time-out at 5

minutes and periodically issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active or disconnecting the socket and reopening the connection when necessary.

SMX System MultiMatrix Switcher • SIS Programming Guide 19

Number of connections

An SMX can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including all HTTP sockets and Telnet connections. When the limit is reached, the SMX 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 can be used to monitor changes that occur on the SMX. The Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3. See the

Verbose Mode commands on page 31.

Host-to-switcher Instructions

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command ﬁeld and do not require any special characters to begin or end the sequence. SMX responses to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed, which signals the end of the character string (a string is one or more characters).

] = CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) } = Carriage return (no line feed)

= Space character

•

NOTES: • Commands can be entered back-to-back

in a string with no spaces. For example:

1*1&001*002*002&001*003* 003&001

• The SMX supports 1-, 2-, and 3-digit numeric entries

(1*1*1!, 01*02*02&, or 001*003*003%).

Error Messages

E01 = Invalid input number E24 = Privilege violation

E10 = Invalid command E25 = Device no present (invalid plane/slot)

E11 = Invalid preset number E26 = Maximum number of connections exceeded

E12 = Invalid output number E27 = Invalid event number

E13 = Invalid parameter E28 = Bad ﬁlename/ﬁle not found

E14 = Invalid for this

This section describes Ethernet links, connector wiring, mounting methods, and board installation. Topics in this section includes:

• Ethernet Link

• Mounting the SMX

• Installing New Boards

Ethernet Link

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the SMX can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection allows for SIS control using a computer connected to the same LAN. 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 feet (100 m). Half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections are 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 gure 29).

• Crossover cable — Connection between the computer and the SMX.

• Patch (Straight) Cable — Connection of the SMX to an Ethernet LAN.

Mounting the SMX

Use two screws on each side of the SMX to attach the front panel to a rack. See the SMX User Guide for other mounting considerations (www.extron.com).

Installing New Boards

NOTE: All boards are hot-swappable, and can be installed

without shutting down the SMX or removing the power.

1. Take note of how many slots your board needs to occupy.

a. If necessary, remove as many blank panels as needed.

b. If the new board is replacing an existing board, remove all

cables from the currently installed one and loosen the two outer screws to remove the board.

2. Slide the I/O board into the open slot, carefully aligning it with

the plastic slides and the power source in the frame. Push it ﬁrmly into place.

3. Tighten the screws on each end of the board.

NOTE: Use a tool to fully tighten the screws after initial

installation and subsequent removal and replacement of the boards.

4. Set the plane address with the rotary encoder (see Setting Plane

Addresses on page 4).
