1.
Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the SMX IP address
NOTE: The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.
The SMX responds with a copyright message including the date,
the name of the product, firmware version, part number, and the
current date and time.
2.
If the SMX is not password-protected, the device is now ready to
accept SIS commands.
If the SMX is password-protected, enter the appropriate password.
If accepted, the SMX responds with Login User or Login
Administrator
. If the password is not accepted, the Password
prompt reappears.
Connection time-outs
The Ethernet link disconnects after a designated period of no
communications. By default, this time-out value is set to 5 minutes
but the value can be changed.
NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default time-out at 5
minutes and periodically issuing the Query (Q) command
to keep the connection active or disconnecting the socket
and reopening the connection when necessary.
