Connect control devices.

 

Connect your computer to one of the following communication ports to configure and control the 

switcher via SIS commands or Product Configuration Software (PCS):

• 

RS‑232 port

 — Connect the unterminated transmit, receive, and ground wires of the 

RS-232 cable to the three pins on the provided 3-pole captive screw connector, as shown 
in the diagram on the right. Insert the connector into the rear panel Remote port (

J

), and 

the other end of the cable into your computer serial port. Protocol for the RS-232 port:

• 

9600 baud

• 

8 data bits

• 

no parity

• 

Config port

 — Connect a USB mini-B cable to the front panel USB port (see 

figure 5

C

, on the next page) for USB control.

9. 

Connect a contact closure device

 

(optional). Connect a push-button contact closure device to a 

Contact port (see 

figure 2

I

, on page 1) to enable input switching via contact closure.

a. 

Wire and plug one of the provided blue, 3.5 mm, 3-pole connectors into a Contact/Tally port 
representing input 1 or input 2 on the DTP2 T 212.

• 

C

 = Contact closure input

• 

G

 = Contact and Tally Ground

• 

T

 = Tally output

b. 

Press the button on the contact closure device to switch the connected input to the output.

TIP:

  The Contact and Tally ports can be used with Extron Show Me cables. For each cable, connect 

the red wire to the Contact Closure pin and the black wire to the Tally Out pin (see diagram on the 
right).

10. 

Connect an indicator device to the Tally Out port 

(optional). To identify the currently selected input when the front panel 

buttons are not visible, connect a device such as an LED to the Contact/Tally port (

figure 2

I

). When the input you are using is 

selected, the corresponding tally out pin shorts to ground, which activates the connected indicator.

Wire and connect one of the provided blue, 3.5

 mm, 4-pole connectors into a Contact In/Tally Out port.

• 

C

 = Contact closure input

• 

G

 = Contact and Tally Ground

• 

T

 = Tally output

• 

+V

 = +5 VDC (Insert the power wire for the contact indicator device into the +V port.)

Les câbles de sortie CC doivent être séparés les uns 

des autres tant que la source d’alimentation est branchée. Coupez 
l’alimentation avant d’effectuer un raccordement.

ATTENTION:

 

• 

Do not connect any external power supplies until you have read the Attention notifications in the Power Supply section of 
the DTP2 T/R 211 User Guide.
