Connection Timeouts
The Ethernet.link.times.out.and.disconnects.after.a.designated.period.
of.time of.no.communications..By.default,.this.timeout.value is.set.
to.5.minutes.but.the value can.be changed..See the Configure port
timeout SIS command
.
NOTE:. Extron.recommends.leaving.the default.timeout.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.
Number of Connections
A.switcher.can.have up.to.200.simultaneous.TCP.connections,.
including.all.HTTP.sockets.and.Telnet.connections..When.the
connection.limit.is.reached,.the switcher.accepts.no.new.connections.
until.some have been.closed..No error.message or.indication.is.given.
that.the connection.limit.has.been.reached..To.maximize performance
of.your.switcher,.keep.the number.of.connections.low.and.close
unnecessary.open.sockets.
Verbose Mode
Telnet.connections.to.a.switcher.can.be used.to.monitor.
for.changes.that.occur.on.the switcher,.such.as.front.panel.
operations.and.SIS.commands.from.other.Telnet.sockets.or.a.
serial.port..For.a.Telnet.session.to.receive change notices.from.
the switcher,.the Telnet.session.must.be in.verbose mode 1.or.3..See
the Set verbose mode SIS command
.
.In.verbose mode 3,.the Telnet.
socket.reports.changes.using.messages.that.resemble SIS.command.
responses..
Host-to-Switcher instructions
The switcher.accepts.SIS.commands.through either.serial.port,.the
USB.port,.or.the LAN.port..SIS.commands.consist.of.one or.more
characters.per.command.field..They.do.not.require any.special.
characters.to.begin.or end.the command.character.sequence..Each.
switcher.response to.an.SIS.command ends.with.a.carriage return.
and.a.line feed.(CR/LF.=.
]
),.which.signals.the end.of.the response
character.string..A.string.is.one or.more characters.
NOTE:. The table that.begins.on.the next.page is.a.partial.list.
of.SIS.commands..For.a.complete listing,.refer.to.the
