Remote Control and
Optimizing the Video
This section describes using the remote control features of the
MTPX Plus matrix switchers to control the devices. Topics that are
covered include:
• Selected SIS Commands
• Installing and Starting the Control Program
• Optimizing the Video
• Accessing the HTML Pages
Selected SIS Commands
You can use Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands for operation
and configuration of the switchers. You can run these commands
from a PC connected to a serial port (
item i on page 10), Ethernet port
( item j on page 10), or USB port ( item o on page 12) on the switcher.
Establishing a Network (Ethernet) Connection
NOTE: The first time you connect to the switcher via the LAN
port, you may need to change the default settings
(IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator
name and password) of the controller. See "
Configuring
for Network Communication " on page 42 for details.
Establish a network connection as follows:
1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the IP address of the switcher.
NOTE: The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.
The switcher responds with a copyright message including the
name, firmware version, and part number of the product, and the
current date and time.
NOTES: • If the switcher is not password-protected, the device
is now ready to accept SIS commands.
• If the switcher is password-protected, a password
prompt appears.
2. If necessary, enter the appropriate password.
If the password is accepted, the switcher responds with Login
User or Login Administrator.
If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.
