VM-214DT – Installing in a Rack

Installing in a Rack

This section provides instructions for rack mounting VM-214DT. Before installing in a rack, verify that the environment is within the recommended range:

• Operation temperature – 0 to 40C (32 to 104F).

• Storage temperature – -40 to +70C (-40 to +158F).

• Humidity – 10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing.

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

• It is located within recommended environmental conditions. Operating ambient temperature of a closed or multi-unit rack assembly may exceed ambient room temperature.

• Once rack mounted, there is enough air flow around VM-214DT.

• VM-214DT is placed upright in the correct horizontal position.

• You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting VM-214DT to the supply

circuit, overloading the circuits may have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For example, for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.

• VM-214DT is earthed (grounded) and connected only to an electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular attention when electricity is supplied indirectly (for example, when the power cord is not plugged directly into the wall socket but to an extension cable or power strip). Use only the supplied power cord.

To rack mount the machine, attach both ear brackets (by removing the screws from each side of the machine and replacing those screws through the `ear brackets) or place the machine on a table.

• Detachable rack ears can be removed for desktop use.

• Always mount VM-214DT in the rack before connecting any cables or power.

• Fasten a bracket (included) on each side of the unit and attach it to a flat surface.

VM-214DT – Operating the VM-214DT

Operating the VM-214DT

Acquiring the EDID

Each input on the VM-214DT has a factory default EDID loaded (see Default EDID on page 31). This lets you connect the power before having to connect one of the acceptors. The VM-214DT reads the EDID, which is stored in the non-volatile memory.

The following procedure is usually done only once, when the device is being set up.

To acquire the EDID:

1. Press the EDID Select button repeatedly until the required EDID source is selected, (either Default, Ext, or one of the outputs). The relevant LED lights green.

2. Press the EDID READ button. The EDID Read button lights red for a short while and the EDID is copied to the currently selected input. If the EDID Read button flashes twice after the first flash this indicates that the EDID was not read and the device reverts to the last stored EDID, as indicated by the LEDs.

Note: If the EDID READ button is not pressed for five seconds, the procedure is terminated and the device does not store a new EDID. The last EDID is restored.

The EDID can also be modified using EDID Designer.

RS-232 Control and Pass-Through Using the VM-214DT

The VM-214DT can be controlled via RS-232. As shown in Figure 4, you can connect a PC (or other serial controller) directly to the VM-214DT to control the VM-214DT.

The VM-214DT also transparently passes bidirectional RS-232 signals over the TP cable from the TP-580Txr transmitter to the TP-580Rxr receiver. For example, a PC connected to the RS-232 port on the TP-580Txr can control an RS-232-controllable device (for example, a projection screen) connected to the TP-580Rxr.

Figure 4: VM-214DT RS-232 Control and Pass-Through

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

VM-214DT – Operating the VM-214DT

IR Pass-Through Using the VM-214DT

The VM-214DT provides an IR sensor and a 3.5mm mini jack for connecting a remote IR emitter or sensor. When the VM-214DT is connected to suitable transmitters and receivers (for example, the TP-580Txr and TP-580Rxr), the VM-214DT can act as a pass-through for IR control signals, allowing remote control of multiple devices using multiple IR remote controllers.

If no IR sensor cable is plugged into the rear-panel IR connector, any signal that is detected by the front-panel built-in IR sensor is extended to all the HDBT links as defined in the Data Switching embedded web page (see The Data Switching Page on page 20).

IR Pass-Through Example 1

Figure 5: VM-214DT IR Pass-Through Example 1

• A DVD player is connected to the TP-580Txr transmitter via an IR emitter

• An LCD display is connected to the TP-580Rxr receiver via an IR emitter

• Both the TP-580Txr and the TP-580Rxr are connected to the VM-214DT via TP cabling

Point the appropriate remote control for the device at the VM-214DT IR sensor (either the front IR sensor or the IR 3.5mm mini jack) to control a device.

VM-214DT – Protocol 3000

Command Terms

Command

A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-'). Command and 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. Note: 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 (Optional, for K-NET) K-NET Device ID followed by '@'

Query sign '?' follows some commands to define a query request.

Message closing character CR – For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) CRLF – For device messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)

Command chain separator character

When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ( '|' ) character separates each command.

Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.

Entering Commands

You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial or Ethernet port on the Kramer device. To enter CR press the Enter key. ( LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).

For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.

Command Forms

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

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

VM-214DT – Protocol 3000

Chaining Commands

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 once, at the beginning of the string and at the end.

Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered. A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.

Maximum String Length

64 characters
