MKP 2000 • Remote Control
24
Ethernet Link
The rear panel LAN connector on the MKP can be connected directly to a host computer
(for setup) or a matrix switcher (for switcher control), or to an Ethernet LAN or WAN (to
which a host computer, other MKPs, and a matrix switcher can also be connected).
•
Connection directly to a host computer requires a crossover cable.
•
Connection via an Ethernet LAN requires a patch (straight-through) cable.
TP Cable Termination and Recommendations
on page 12 to create crossover
and patch cables.
Default IP address
To access the MKP via the Ethernet port, you need the Extron IP address. If the address has
been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, you can determine the
actual numeric IP address using the ping (ICMP) utility. If the address has not been changed,
the factory-specified default is
192.168.254.253
.
Host-to-device Communtication
The MKP 2000 accepts SIS commands from a host device such as a computer running the
Extron DataViewer utility or other control system. SIS commands consist of strings (one or
more characters per command field).
Unless otherwise stated, upper and lower case characters can be used interchangeably.
Commands do not require any special characters to begin or end the command string.
Each response from the MKP 2000 ends with a carriage return and a line feed
(CR/LF =
]
), which signals the end of the response character string.
MKP-Initiated (Unsolicited) Messages
When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the MKP responds by sending a
message to the host. The MKP-initiated messages are listed below:
(c) Copyright 2006, Extron Electronics, MKP 2000, V
x.xx
, 60-682-00
]
(for RS-232 connection)
(
c) Copyright 2006, Extron Electronics, MKP 2000, V
x.xx
, 60-682-00
}
Www
,
DD
Mmm YYYY hh:mm:ss
]
(for IP connection)
The MKP initiates the copyright message when it is first powered on or when connection via
Internet protocol (IP) is established. V
x.xx
is the firmware version number;
Www
indicates the
day of the week (IP).
]
Password:
The MKP initiates the password message immediately after the copyright message when
the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet, and the MKP is password
protected. This message means that the MKP requires an administrator or user level
password in order for it to perform the commands entered via this link. The MKP repeats
the password message response for every entry other than a valid password until a valid
password is entered.
]
Login Administrator
]
]
Login User
]
The MKP initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user password has
been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same, the MKP defaults to
administrator privileges.
