Number of connections
A switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including
all HTTP sockets and Telnet connections. When the connection limit is
reached, the switcher accepts no new connections until some have been
closed. No error message or indication is given that the connection limit
has been reached. To maximize the performance of your switcher, keep
the number of connections low and close unnecessary open sockets.
Establishing a USB Port Connection
A standard USB cable and the Extron DataViewer utility, version 2.0
or newer, can be used for connection to the DMS matrix switcher
Configuration port. The USB cable, available at any local electronics
store, should be terminated on one end with a mini USB B male
connector
NOTE: Before you use the USB port for the first time, install the
USB driver on your computer. The simplest way to do this is to
install version 8.0 or newer of the Matrix Switchers Control Program
and then run the Found New Hardware Wizard (see
Installing the
Program on page 21 and First-time Connection Considerations
on page 22).
Host-to-Switcher Instructions
The switcher accepts SIS commands through its serial port, its USB port,
or its LAN port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per
command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or
end the command character sequence. Each switcher response to an
SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF =
] ),
which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or
more characters.
NOTE: The table that begins on the next page is a partial list
of SIS commands. For a complete listing, see the DMS Series
Matrix Switcher User Guide, available on the Extron DVD or at
www.extron.com .
Common SIS Command Symbols
The following symbols are used throughout the command and response
table, which starts on the next page:
•
= Space
] = Carriage return and line feed
} = Carriage return (no line feed)
| = Pipe (can be used interchangeably with the } character)
E = Escape key (hex 1B)
W = Can be used interchangeable with the E character
