Setup and Preparations

Rack-Mounting

Attaching the rack-mount angles

By attaching the included rack-mount angles to this unit, you can mount it in a rack.

1. Remove the screws from the side panels.

2. Using the screws that you removed, attach the rack-

mount angles as shown in the illustration.

Free-Standing Use

Attaching the rubber feet

If you will be placing this unit on a desk or shelf for use, attach the included rubber feet (4 pcs.). This prevents the unit from slipping or from scratching the surface on which it is placed.

1. Remove the rubber feet from the sheet.

2. Peel the double-sided tape o the rubber feet, and ax

the feet so that they cover the four guide holes on the bottom of the unit.

Important notes on rack mounting

Install in a well-ventilated location.

Do not block the cooling vents located on the unit’s top panel and side panels.

Avoid mounting the unit in a sealed-type rack. Warm air within the rack cannot escape and is sucked into the unit, making ecient cooling impossible.

If the back of the rack cannot be opened, install an exhaust port or ventilation fan at the top back surface of the rack, where warm air collects.

When using the unit while mounted in a movable case (portable rack), remove the front and rear rack covers so that the front and back of the unit are not obstructed.

Take care not to pinch your ngers etc. while mounting the unit in a rack.

If a USB ash drive containing a still image (default.bmp) in its root directory is connected when the unit starts up, the still image is loaded automatically.

NOTE

This unit temporarily saves only the one still image that is loaded. If a still image is already loaded, loading a new still image

overwrites the previously loaded image. The still image is deleted when the power is turned o.

When using a USB ash drive for the rst time, you must format it using this unit (p. 12).

Never turn o the power or remove the USB ash drive while the message “Processing.” is shown.

Assigning the still image

Here’s how to assign the loaded still image to an input channel.

1. Long-press the [MENU] button

Setting example 2) In a conference room that has a single main monitor, change connections between the computers of dierent presenters

The XS-42H holds the output signal when you connect a dierent computer, thus preventing a state in which the monitor shows no signal or a blue screen, or goes to sleep.

LAN/RS-232 Command Reference

The unit support two types of remote-interface communication: LAN and RS-232. Using the LAN port or RS-232 connector to send specic commands to the unit from a controlling device lets you operate the unit remotely.

LAN Interface

This uses the LAN port on the unit. You use Telnet to operate the unit remotely over a LAN (TCP/IP

protocol).

Communication standards

Port LAN port (supports 100BASE-TX)

TCP port number 8023

For methods of connecting to a network, refer to “Network Connections” (p. 14).

Transmitted commands (control device0this unit)

Transmit specic commands from the control device to this unit.

Command Format

Obtains the model name and version information.

ver

set

get

* “lf” is the ASCII code “0aH,” and is a control code that indicates the

end of the command. H indicates a hexadecimal value.

ack response (this unit0control device)

When this unit correctly receives a command, it returns ack. The ack response commands are described in “List of Commands”

(p. 26).

Error response (this unit0control device)

When this unit could not correctly receive a command, it returns an error.

err , Transmitted command lf

ver lf

Sets a parameter.

set , Category , ID , Sub-ID , Value lf

Obtains the current parameter value.

get , Category , ID , Sub-ID lf

When this unit correctly receives a command, it returns set,[category],[ID],[sub-ID],[value][lf].

Communication standards

Communication method Synchronous (asynchronous), full-duplex

Communication speed 9,600/38,400 bps

Parity none

Data length 8 bits

Stop bit 1 bit
