18 SF-16M Matrix Amplifier Installation and Operation Guide
USING SERIAL AND ETHERNET (TELNET)
Follow the instructions for your Control4, RTI, URC, or other controller using the serial settings below, and/or Ethernet
settings accessible via the SF-16M front panel menu. Serial commands, available at our website on the SF-16M product
page, are used via telnet or serial connection.
The SF-16M telnet server allows two clients to be connected at one time. Each client connection has a time out of 15
minutes; if a client crashes and does not close the connection properly (sending an EOF) that connection remains
busy until it times out.
Using the RS-232 Port
System controllers and PCs send all setup and control commands as well as receive feedback via the RS-232 serial port.
• Important: If a PC is connected directly to the SF-16M RS-232 port, use a standard serial cable.
• Communication Settings: baud rate is 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
• See the table and diagram below for the SF-16M serial port pinout.
Using a PC via Ethernet
Connect a computer directly to the SF-16M Ethernet port using a crossover cable, or alternatively use a standard Ethernet
hub or switch and a standard patch cable. Once connected to a computer or network, the SF-16M by default attempts to
obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. To use static settings, see the detailed instructions on page 19.
There are two LED indicators located next to the Ethernet port on the rear panel that will help in
identifying connection issues:
• Link - The Link LED is steadily lit if a connection is detected and flashes when activity is
present.
• Speed - The Speed LED is off for 10 base T, and on for 100 base T.
DHCP
DHCP is enabled on the SF-16M by default. If DHCP is enabled on your network, simply connecting the SF-16M to the
network with an existing DHCP server enables it to obtain all necessary information.
Static Addressing Connected Directly to a PC
The SF-16M must be given an IP address which will not conflict with the PC.
Go to the network settings (which are found in control panel -> network -> local
connection properties of a PC running Windows XP).
Change the TCP/IP protocol properties, and set the IP address, gateway, and
subnet mask, if they are not already set.
