Host control port setting and pass-through communications
When the MKP is
• Connected to a computer or control system via its Host
RS-232 port and
• In pass-through mode,
the MKP redirects valid matrix switcher SIS commands that it
receives on its Host RS-232 port to its Switcher RS-232 port.

• MKP connection setting
 Primary — Controls the switcher directly (default).
 Secondary — Controls the switcher through another
MKP and its Switcher RS-232 port.
• LCD display backlighting interval
• Tie mode:
 Matrix mode (default)
 Input-only mode
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric
subfields (octets) separated by dots (periods). Each octet can be
numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to three
digits total per octet, are optional. Values of 256 and above are
invalid.
If any of the default addresses conflict with other equipment at
your installation, you can change them to any valid value.
The MKP must be in the administrator executive mode
for you to be able to set these parameters. In user
executive mode, you cannot change the configuration.
CAUTION Editing the Extron IP address and other parameters
while the MKP is connected via the LAN port can
immediately disconnect the computer from the
MKP. Extron recommends editing this field using
the front panel or the RS-232 link, and restricting
Ethernet access to these parameters by assigning an
administrator’s password that is available only to
qualified and knowledgeable personnel.
Edit these addresses and set the host control setting as follows:
1 . Simultaneously press and hold buttons 2 , 3 , and 4
(typically labeled Input, Output, and Take) until all
buttons light amber and the LCD display changes
(figure 3-7) to enter setup mode (approximately
2 seconds).
• The LCD display shows the MKP’s IP address. The
most significant octet (first one on the left) of the
MKP’s IP address is highlighted by a caret (>),
indicating that it is editable.
• Pressing button 2 changes the IP address shown in
the LCD display, cycling through the various IP
addresses, and then selects the host control setting,
the connection priority, and the LCD backlit
duration, as shown in figure 3-6.
