Remote Control
This section describes using the remote control features of the
DTP CrossPoint matrix switchers to control the devices. Topics that are covered include:
•
•
Installing and Starting the Control Programs
•
Selected SIS Commands
You can use Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands for operation and configuration of the
switchers (see
SIS Command and Response Table for Matrix Switcher Commands
page 18). You can run these commands from a PC connected to an Ethernet port (
on page 8), serial port (
on page 14) on the switcher.
Establishing a Network (Ethernet) Connection
NOTE:
The first time you connect to the switcher via the LAN port, you may need to
change the default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator
name and password) of the IPCP controller or switcher.
The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to
the device serial number. Passwords are case sensitive. If the device is reset, the
password reverts to the original password configuration.
Establish a network connection as follows:
1.
Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the IP address of the switcher.
NOTE:
The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.
The switcher responds with a copyright message including the name, firmware version,
and part number of the product, and the current date and time.
NOTES:
•
If the switcher is not password-protected, the device is now ready to accept
SIS commands.
•
If the switcher is password-protected, a password prompt appears.
2.
If necessary, enter the appropriate password.
•
If the password is accepted, the switcher responds with
Login User
or
Login
Administrator
.
•
If the password is not accepted, the
Password
prompt reappears.
