• Installation

2-3

Also refer to the

SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers User’s Manual

Step 4 — Connect control devices

LAN Ethernet port

—

Connect to an Ethernet LAN or WAN via this

RJ-45 connector

to control the switcher from a remote location, using

a PC’s Internet browser. See page A-2 for network cable termination

method.
The Ethernet connection indicator LEDs marked “Link” and “Act”,

indicate the status of the SMX’s Ethernet connection. The Link LED

lights

green

when connected to an Ethernet LAN, and the Act LED

flickers

amber

, as the devices communicate.

Do not use standard telephone cables, as they do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet. Do not stretch or bend cables as transmission errors
could occur.

Remote port —

For serial RS-232 or RS-422 control, connect a

host computer or control system via this 9-pin D connector

RS-232 protocol (default values):

• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • no parity • 8 data bits • no flow control.

See chapter 4, “SIS

™

Programming and Control”, in the SMX User’s

Manual, for definitions of the SIS commands. See chapter 5, “SMX
Software” to install and use the control software.

Step 5 — Connect power

AC power connector

—

Plug in a standard IEC power cord from a 100 to

240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz power source into this receptacle

Step 6 — Set plane addres

Set the plane address (0-15) with the 16 position (0-F) rotary encoder

Installing/swapping the Input/Output boards

The I/O boards used in any installation will vary and can be installed

and changed as desired.

All boards are hot-swappable, and can be installed without shutting
down the switcher and removing the power.

Follow the instructions on the card supplied with the boards.
