MKP 2000 • Installation
11
An MKP control panel can be directly connected to any Ethernet-enabled matrix switcher
via the switcher Ethernet port (see figure 11) using a TP (network) cable that is wired as a
crossover cable (see
TP Cable Termination and Recommendations
on page 12, to
properly wire the cable).

Direct MKP Connection Via the LAN Port
Any number of control panels can be connected, as part of a network, to any Ethernet-
enabled matrix switcher via the switcher Ethernet port (see figure 12). All TP cables in this
example are wired as patch (straight-through) cables.

Network MKP Connection Using the LAN Port
RS-232 Cable Termination
Each MKP control panel has two RS-232 ports that are connected using 3.5 mm, 3-pole
direct insertion connectors. Wire the connectors as follows:
NOTE:
The total cable length between an MKP control panel and a matrix switcher
should not exceed 100 feet (30 m).
1.
Choose a cable such as the Extron Comm-Link cable (see
for the wire specifications for Comm-Link cable). Colors may vary from this example.
2.
Trim approximately 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) of the cable jacket to expose the four insulated
wires and a bare drain wire (silver-colored).
3.
Cut off the foil shield and discard it.
4.
Strip ¼ inch (0.6 cm) of insulation from any three of the four wires (not including the
drain [unshielded] wire).
5.
Twist the strands of each wire, insert the strands into the direct insertion connector, and
tighten the captive screws.
