Extron Electronics MAV Plus Series - Manual (Page 38)

2-15 CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Switchers • Installation
The switcher can support either the RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication
protocol, and operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates.
See “Selecting the rear panel Remote port protocol and baud rate” in chapter 3,
“Operation”, to configure the RS-232/RS-422 port from the front panel.
If desired, connect an MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel to the
switcher’s RS-232/RS-422 connector. Refer to the “MKP 2000 Remote Control
Panel User’s Manual” or the “MKP 3000 Remote Control Panel User’s
Manual” for details.
Ethernet
9 Ethernet port — If desired, for IP control of the system, connect the matrix
switcher to a PC or to an Ethernet LAN, via this RJ-45 connector.
You can use a PC to control the networked switcher with SIS
commands from anywhere in the world. You can also control the
switcher from a PC that is either running Extron’s windows-based
control program or that has downloaded HTML pages from the
switcher.
Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs indicate
the status of the Ethernet connection. The Link LED indicates that
the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED
should light steadily. The Act LED indicates transmission of data
packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the
switcher communicates.
Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring
It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that they be properly
terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6,
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated
with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length 328’ (100 m).
Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will not support
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.
Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both
10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet),
half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.
• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover
cable and must be properly terminated for your application (figure 2-20).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the
CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher.
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus
switcher to an Ethernet LAN.
