USB Config Port
The USB Config port is used for SIS configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates. This port
can be used as an alternative to the rear panel RS-232 captive screw connectors.
NOTES:
•
Neither port has precedence and commands from either port are handled in the
order they are received.
•
Extron recommends that the USB port is used for temporary connections. If a
permanent connection is required, the RS-232 port should be used.
When the USB Config Port is connected to the distribution amplifier for the first time, the
Found New Hardware Wizard opens to install the correct device driver (see
Connecting to
the USB Port
on page 9).
Signal Status LEDs
Input Signal LED
The input signal LED lights green when a TMDS signal is detected on the HDMI input. If
the source requires HDCP encryption, this LED may light only after the HDCP has been
authenticated.
Output Signal LEDs
There are two (HDMI DA2), four (HDMI DA4), or six (HDMI DA6) output signal LEDs, one for
each of the outputs. The LEDs light green when an active sink device is connected to the
corresponding output (based on hot plug detect).
HDCP LEDs
Input HDCP LED
The Input HDCP LED lights green when the source device requires HDCP encryption and it
has been authenticated with the HDMI input.
Output HDCP LEDs
There are two (HDMI DA2), four (HDMI DA4) or six (HDMI DA6) output HDCP LEDs, one for
each of the outputs. The LEDs light green when HDCP has been authenticated between
the HDMI output and the corresponding sink device. This happens when the source device
requires HDCP encryption and it has already been authenticated on the HDMI input.
The LEDs do not light if the source does not require HDCP encryption or if the sink is not
HDCP compliant.
EDID LED
The EDID LED lights green when the EDID is successfully stored from the selected output
device. This only occurs when an output EDID slot has been assigned.
The LED lights amber if the internal, factory-installed EDID is used or if the EDID was not
successfully stored.
