Remote
Communication and
Control
This section describes SIS programming and control of the SMD 101, including:
• Connection Options
• LAN (Ethernet) Port
• Host-to-device Communications
• Command and Response Tables
Connection Options
The SMD 101 Streaming Media Decoder can be remotely connected via a host computer or
other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 port or LAN port,
or the front panel USB Config port.
The SMD 101 can be configured and controlled using SIS commands or embedded web
pages. SIS commands can be executed using the Extron DataViewer program, found on
the Extron website.
RS-232 protocol:
• 9600 baud • no parity • 1 stop bit
• 8 data bits • no flow control
See RS-232 Port below, for additional details on connecting the RS-232 port.
USB port details:
The Extron USB driver must be installed before use (see Front Panel Configuration Port
on page 58).
LAN port defaults:
SMD 101 IP address: 192.168.254.254
Gateway IP address: 0.0.0.0
Subnet mask:
255.255.0.0
DHCP: off
RS-232 Port
The SMD 101 has a serial port that can be connected to a host device such as a computer
running a HyperTerminal utility, or the Extron DataViewer utility. The port makes serial control
of the player possible. Use the protocol information listed above to make the connection
(see
Host-to-device Communications on page 61).
The port can also be configured as pass-through for direct RS-232 control of a connected
display using serial commands via the network.
