Figure 4-8 — Pass-through mode
In the figure above, a MediaLink ® controller connected to the IPL T S2’s serial port 1
(COM1) is controlling a projector connected to serial port 2 (COM2).
Serial pass-through is enabled or disabled through the “Com Configuration” tab of
a device within Extron’s Global Configurator software.
Advanced users can use the pass-through SIS command as well. See the
“Command/response table for Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands”,
earlier in this chapter, for detailed command descriptions.
Direct port access (ports 2001 through 2006)
Direct port access allows a direct, one-to-one connection to any of the serial ports
using a TCP/IP connection. When a TCP session is initiated to port 2001 (COM1)
through port 2006 (COM6), all data sent and received passes directly to and from
that port without any processing. Set serial port parameters (baud rate, parity, etc.)
within the IPL T S Series unit prior to using direct access. (See “Port Settings” in
chapter 3).
N The reserved TCP port numbers (2001-2006) are default assignments.
To initiate direct port access using DataViewer:
1. If necessary, set serial port parameters (baud rate, parity, etc.) within the
IPL T S unit. (See “Port Settings” in chapter 3.)
2. Launch the DataViewer software program.
3 . Click the TCP/IP tab on the Communication Setup dialog box.
4. Complete the fields with the appropriate IP address and the TCP/IP port
number (2001-2006), as shown below.
N A password is not required for direct port access.
