Serial Ports The FOX matrix switcher has two serial ports that can be connected to a host device such as a computer running the HyperT erminal or DataViewer utility , or a control system. These ports make serial control of the switcher possible. The serial ports ar e: • Rear panel Remote port — A 9‑pin D connector for serial RS‑232 or RS‑[...]

Ether net (LAN) Port The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. Communications between the switcher and the contr olling device is via T elnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The SIS commands and the actions of the switcher are identical to the commands and actions the switcher has when communicating[...]

Connection Timeouts The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time of no communications. By default, this timeout value is set to five minutes but the value can be changed. See the Configure port timeout SIS commands on page 69. NOTE: Extron r ecommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically issuing the Query ( Q )[...]

Switcher -initiated Messages When a local event such as a front panel operation or an IR 501 command string occurs, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host. The switcher ‑initiated messages are listed below (underlined). The switcher does not expect a response fr om the host, but, for example, the host program might request a new s[...]

Switcher Err or Responses When the switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error r esponse to the host. The error r esponse[...]
