Remote
Configuration and
Control
The DVS 510 can be remotely controlled via a host computer or other device (such as
a control system) attached to the rear panel RS232 connector, the front panel RS-232
CONFIG port, or the LAN port. You can configure and control the DVS by the Extron Simple
Instruction Set (SIS) of commands, by using the Extron Windows-based Signal Processing
Products Control Program (SPPCP), or by the internal HTML web pages (see
This section describes the serial and Ethernet connections through which the SIS
commands can be issued, and lists the commands that are available for configuring and
controlling the DVS 510 Series. It also provides instructions on obtaining and opening the
control program. Topics include:

Using the Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP)
Serial Ports
The DVS supports RS-232 and RS-422 serial communication protocols and can operate at
9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates. (See
on page 34
to configure this port using the front panel menus.)
The default protocol for the serial ports is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow
control. (See
Connecting to the RS-232 CONFIG Port (Front
on page 11 for the pin assignments for these two ports.)
Ethernet Port
The RJ-45 connector on the rear panel can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN to
enable control of the DVS via SIS commands or the Signal Processing Products Control
Program. Communication between the scaler and the controlling device can be via a utility
such as Extron DataViewer or HyperTerminal, or via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The
Telnet port number can be changed, if necessary, via SIS. (For information on connecting via
Telnet, see
on page 114.)
Ethernet Cable
The Ethernet cable must be properly terminated for your application as either a
straight-through cable or a crossover cable. (For pin assignments for these cables, see
