Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!

Getting Started

We recommend that you:

• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment.

• Review the contents of this user manual.

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/PA-240Net or www.kramerav.com/product/PA-120Net to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

Achieving the Best Performance

• Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.

• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

• Position your Kramer PA-240Net/PA-120Net away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

Safety Instructions

Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit. Warning: Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit. Warning: Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical shock! Servicing by

qualified personnel only.

Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.

Connecting the PA-240Net

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your PA-240Net. After connecting your PA-240Net, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

To connect the PA-240Net as illustrated in the example in Figure 1:

1. Connect the balanced stereo audio source to the AUDIO IN 5-pin terminal block connector (for example, a Kramer Switcher/Scaler).

2. Connect the LINE OUT balanced stereo audio 5-pin terminal block connecter to a balanced stereo acceptor (for example, an additional PA-240Net device).

3. Connect the Hi-Z OUT or Lo-Z OUT 4-pin terminal block connector as follows:

▪ For Hi-Z connection: connect Hi-Z and COM terminal blocks to the + and – terminals

of a mono speaker (for example, the Galil 8-C ceiling speakers, daisy chained). The speakers either output the left side (L+, L-) of the audio input or the stereo input reduced to a mono signal (see Selecting Hi-Z Mono Settings on page 16).

▪ For Lo-Z connection: connect the L+ and L- connectors to the left-side speaker and

the R+ and R- connectors to the right-side.

4. Set the Hi-Z/Lo-Z and 100V/70V DIP-Switches :

▪ For Hi-Z operation: Set DIP-switch 1 to Hi-Z and then set DIP-switch 2 to 70V or

100V.

▪ For Lo-Z operation: Set DIP-switch 1 to Lo-Z.

5. Connect the Dante RJ-45 connector to any available IP network.

6. If required, connect:

▪ A PC via RS-232 , see Connecting to PA-240Net via RS-232 on page 8. ▪ The ETHERNET port , see Connecting PA-240Net via the Ethernet Port on

page 9.

7. Connect the power cord (not shown in Figure 1).

PA-240Net.

Generally, a basic video input switching command that routes a layer 1 video signal to HDMI out 1 from HDMI input 2 (ROUTE 1,1,2), is entered as follows:

• Terminal communication software, such as Hercules:

The framing of the command varies according to the terminal communication software.

• K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):

• K-Config (Kramer configuration software):

All the examples provided in this section are based on using the K-Config software.

You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g., Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port, depending on your device. To enter CR press the Enter key (LF is also sent but is ignored by the command parser).

Commands sent from various non-Kramer controllers (e.g., Crestron) may require special coding for some characters (such as, /X##). For more information, refer to your controller’s documentation.

PA-120Net, PA-240Net – Protocol 3000

For more information about Protocol 3000 commands, see:

• Understanding Protocol 3000 on page 25.

• Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax on page 26.

• Protocol 3000 Commands on page 27.

Understanding Protocol 3000

Protocol 3000 commands are structured according to the following:

• Command – A sequence of ASCII letters (A-Z, a-z and -). A command and its parameters must be separated by at least one space.

• Parameters – A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters (0-9, A-Z, a-z and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas.

• Message string – Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message starting character and ends with a message closing character.

A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe (|) character.

• Message starting character:

▪ # – For host command/query ▪ ~ – For device response

• Device address – K-NET Device ID followed by @ (optional, K-NET only)

• Query sign – ? follows some commands to define a query request

• Message closing character:

▪ CR – Carriage return for host messages (ASCII 13) ▪ CR LF – Carriage return for device messages (ASCII 13) and line-feed (ASCII 10)

• Command chain separator character – Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character (|). When chaining commands, enter the message starting character and the message closing character only at the beginning and end of the string.

Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored. Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered. A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.

PA-120Net, PA-240Net – Protocol 3000

Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax

The Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax uses the following delimiters:

• CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)

• LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)

• SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)

Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to enable faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.

The Protocol 3000 syntax is in the following format:

• Host Message Format:

Start

Address (optional)

Body

Delimiter

Device_id@

Message

• Simple Command – Command string with only one command without addressing:

Start

Body

Delimiter

Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,…

• Command String – Formal syntax with command concatenation and addressing:

Start

Address

Body

Delimiter

Device_id@

Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,…| Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,…| Command_3 Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,…|…

• Device Message Format:

Start

Address (optional)

Body

Delimiter

Device_id@

Message

CR LF

• Device Long Response – Echoing command:

Start

Address (optional)

Body

Delimiter

Device_id@
