Remote
Configuration and
Control
This section describes the serial, Ethernet, and USB connections through which the Extron
Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands can be issued, and lists the commands that are
available for configuring and controlling the AVT 200HD. Topics include:
•
Serial Port
•
USB Port
•
Ethernet Port
•
Using SIS Commands
•
Accessing the AVT 200HD Control Software
Serial Port
The AVT supports RS-232 serial communication protocol and can operate at 9600, 19200,
38400, or 115200 baud rates (see “
Configuring the serial port and IP parameters
” in
the “Operation” section to configure this port using the front panel menus).
The 5-pole shared 3.5 mm captive screw connector labeled RS-232/IR on the rear panel can
be connected to the serial port of a host device such as a computer running a utility such as
the Extron DataViewer or HyperTerminal, an RS-232 capable PDA, or a control system (see
“
Wiring for RS-232 Control
” in the “Installation” section for information on connecting to
this port).
USB Port
SIS commands can also be sent through the USB Config port on the AVT front panel, using
Extron DataViewer or another utility that accommodates USB. (see “
Connecting to the
USB Port
” in the “Installation” section to set up communication via USB).
Ethernet Port
The RJ-45 connector on the rear panel can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN to
enable SIS control of the AVT. The tuner and the controlling device can communicate via
Extron DataViewer or Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The Telnet port number can be
changed, if necessary, via SIS commands (see “
Connecting as a Telnet Client
” in the
“Reference Information” section for information on connecting via Telnet).
Ethernet Cable
The Ethernet cable must be properly terminated for your application as either a straight-
through cable or a crossover cable (see “
Ethernet Connection
” in the “Installation”
section for pin assignments for these cables).
