Reset button and LED
c
Reset button — The Reset button initiates four levels of reset of the
matrix switcher. For four different reset levels, press and hold the
button while the switcher is running or while you power up the
switcher.
See “Rear Panel Operations” in chapter 3, “Operation”, for details.
• Events (mode 3) reset — Hold Reset for 3 seconds, then release it and push
it again to toggle events monitoring on and off.
• IP settings (mode 4) reset — Hold Reset for 6 seconds, then release it and
push it again to reset the switcher’s IP functions.
N The IP settings reset does not replace any user-installed firmware.
• Absolute (mode 5) reset — Hold Reset for 9 seconds, then release it and
push it again to restore the switcher to the default factory conditions.
• Hard reset — Hold Reset while powering up the switcher to restore the
switcher to the default factory conditions.
N Factory loaded firmware is active until it is replaced or the power is cycled.
Hard reset does not clear the current configuration.
Ethernet connection
d
LAN port — If desired, for IP control of the system, connect the matrix
switcher to a PC or to an Ethernet LAN, via this RJ-45 connector.
You can use a PC to control the networked switcher with SIS
commands from anywhere in the world. You can also control
the switcher from a PC that is running Extron’s Windows-based
control/configuration program or has downloaded HTML
pages from the switcher.
Link LED indicator — The Link LED indicates that the switcher
is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should
light steadily.
Act LED indicator — The Act LED indicates transmission of
data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as
the switcher communicates.
Cabling
It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cable type and that they be
properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3,
CAT 5e, or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP)
cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of
328' (100 m).
N Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet.
Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both
10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet),
half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections.
• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.
