3.4 Application
Owing to its flexible card design, FMX12 is an all-in-one solution which is ideal for
different projects such as public display, educational demo, professional presentation,
advertising display or control center. The switcher can handle all the audiovisual
management, including the switching, driving, scaling etc.
Single Plug-in Card Matrix Switcher
PTN Electronics Limited 12 www.PTN-Electronics.com
4. Operations
4.1 Front Panel Control
FMX12 provides with convenient front panel button control for I/O switch, EDID
management, and system inquiry. Here we make a brief introduction to the operations.
4.1.1 Switching I/O connection
Input/ output channels are recognized in double-digit, press 01~09 for channel 1~9.
1) To convert one input to an output:
Operation: “INPUT”+“OUTPUT”+“ENTER”
Example: transfer input 01 to output 12:
+ +
2) To convert an input to several outputs:
Operation: “INPUT” + “OUTPUT” + “OUTPUT” +… + “ENTER”
Example: Switch input 2 to output 2, 4
+ +
3) To convert an input to all outputs:
Operation: “input” + “ALL” + “ENTER”
Example: Convert input 02 to all outputs
+ +
4.1.2 EDID Learning
FMX12 features EDID management to maintain compatibility between all devices.
One input port learns the EDID data of one output port
Operation: “EDID”+“INPUT”+“OUTPUT”+“ENTER”.
Example: Input 02 learns EDID data from output 4
+ + +
All input ports learn EDID data from one output port
Operation: “EDID”+“ALL”+“OUTPUT”+“ENTER”
Single Plug-in Card Matrix Switcher
PTN Electronics Limited 13 www.PTN-Electronics.com
Example: All input ports learn EDID data from output 04

4.1.4 Clear operation
Function: clear the previous operations before pressing ENTER to enforce it. Press
CLEAR can only erase the operations not confirmed by pressing ENTER.
1) Input/ output channels are recognized in double-digit, press 01~09 instead of 1~9.
2) The input delay time between two numbers of every input& output channel must be
less than 8 seconds; otherwise the operation will be cancelled.
3) The input/output channels on the rear panel are counting from left to right no matter
whether there is signal card.
Single Plug-in Card Matrix Switcher
PTN Electronics Limited 14 www.PTN-Electronics.com
4.2 IR Control
Connect an IR receiver to IR EYE on the rear panel, users can control the switcher with
the included IR remote (shown as below):
① Standby: enter/ exit standby mode
② INPUTS: input selection buttons, channels 1~9
should be pressed as 01~09
③ Function Buttons: share the same operation
with front panel buttons
④ ENTER:
confirm operation
long-press (3 seconds or more) to enter
inquiry mode
Note: navigation buttons are unavailable.
⑤ OUTPUTS: output selection buttons, channels
1~9 should be pressed as 01~09
4.3 RS232 Control
FMX12 provides with 1 3.5mm RS232 port for serial port control. Connect FMX12 to the
control device (e.g. a PC) with RS232 cable and set the correct parameters, the control
device is capable to control FMX12 via designed software.
4.3.1 Installation/uninstallation of RS232 Control Software
Installation: Copy the control software file to the computer connected with FMX12.
Uninstallation: Delete all the control software files in corresponding file path.
4.3.2 Basic Settings
Firstly, connect FMX12 with an input device and an output device. Then, connect it with
a computer which is installed with RS232 control software. Double-click the software

1. Case insensitive.
2. In following commands, “[”and “]” are symbols for easy reading and do not need to
be typed in actual operation.
3. Type in the complete commands including ending symbol “.” or “;”.
4. For input/ output channels 1~9 in the commands, type in 01~09 instead of 1~9.
5. After sending command “%0911.” to restore factory default, wait for 10s or so before
you reboot the device. Or the restoration may fail, and it will prompt “Default failed,
please try again!” in the feedback.

4.4 TCP/IP Control
FMX12 boasts option TCP/IP port for IP control.
Default settings: IP: 192.168.0.178; Subnet Mast: 255.255.255.0; Gateway: 192.168.0.1;
Serial Port: 4001.
IP& gateway can be changed as you need, Serial Port cannot be changed.
Connect the Ethernet port of control device and TCP/IP port of FMX12, and set same
network segment for the 2 devices, users are able to control the device via web-based
GUI or designed TCP/IP communication software.
4.4.1 Control Modes
FMX12 can be controlled by PC without Ethernet access or PC(s) within a LAN.
Controlled by PC without Ethernet access
Connect a computer to the TCP/IP port of the FMX12, and set its network segment to
the same as the FMX12’s.
Controlled by PC(s) in LAN
Connect FMX12, a router and several PCs to setup a LAN (as shown in the following
figure). Set the network segment of FMX12 to the same as the router’s, then PCs within
the LAN are able to control FMX12.
Same network
segment as the
switcher
Single Plug-in Card Matrix Switcher
PTN Electronics Limited 24 www.PTN-Electronics.com
Follow these steps to connect the devices:
Step1. Connect the TCP/IP port of the FMX12 to Ethernet port of PC with straight-thru
CAT5e/6.
Step2. Set the PC’s network segment to the same as the FMX12’s.
Step3. Set the FMX12’s network segment to the same as the router.
Step4. Set the PC’s network segment to the original ones.
Step5. Connect the FMX12 and PC(s) to the router. PC(s) within the LAN is able to
control the FMX12 asynchronously.
4.4.2 Control via TCP/IP communication software
(Exampled by TCPUDP software)
1) Connect a computer and FMX12 to the same network. Open the TCPUDP software
(or any other TCP/IP communication software) and create a connection, enter the IP
address and port of FMX12 (default IP: 192.168.0.178, port:4001):
Router
Internet
PC

2) After connect successfully, we can enter commands to control the FMX12, as below:
4.4.3 Control via web-based GUI
FMX12 provides with built-in GUI for convenient TCP/IP control. GUI allows users to
interact with FMX12 through graphical icons and visual indicators.
Access GUI interface through any one of the following methods:
1) Access through UPnP: Go to My Network Place in your PC, and click the icon
named FMX12.
2) Access through web browser: type the IP of the device (default: 192.168.0.178,
changeable) in the browser
PCs running Windows XP system may occur issues in finding UPnP icon, follow
these steps to switch on UPnP protocol:
1) Add UPnP component: go to “Control Panel” -> double-click “Add/ Delete
Programs” -> double-click “Add/ Delete windows component” ->tick “UPnP” ->
click “Next” -> click “OK”
2) Enable Windows Firewall: go to “Control Panel” -> double-click “Windows
Firewall” -> click “Others” -> tick “UPnP framework”
3) Enable UPnP auto-starting: go to “Control Panel” -> double-click
“Administrative Tools ” -> double-click “Services” -> find and click SSDP
Discovery Servic and Universal Plug and Play Device Host -> click “OK”
UPnP will now automatically start when you turn on your computer.
Here you will receive the
feedback when a command
is sent.
Enter your command here.
Commands are the same with
RS232 commands listed in 4.3.3
