Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion
Figure 50 is an example of a typical Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, in which an Extron IPCP
module provides control of an HD camera via the matrix switcher. Configure this type of
insertion as follows:
1.
Connect a TP cable from the IPCP module to the LAN port, directly or via a network.
2.
If necessary, enable the port (input port 4 in this example) for Ethernet (see
Ethernet and Captive Screw Insertion
on the previous page).
3.
If necessary to match the device to be controlled, configure the port RS-232 protocol
(baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits) (see
4.
Connect the XTP cable to the endpoint as usual.
5.
Connect a serial cable from the endpoint to the device to be controlled.

Typical Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion to an Input Endpoint
Port number
For Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, the insertion port number must be stated from a specific
starting point. This number is entered as the Telnet port number when you establish
communication with the insertion port.
For the purposes of this discussion, consider the Ethernet insertion ports as serial (RS-232)
ports. The rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port and all input serial ports in the matrix
switcher are numbered sequentially (see the
on the next page for the default values).
Output serial ports start 34 XTP CrossPoint positions out from the starting point and
continue on sequentially.
