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 the performance of your switcher, keep
the number of connections low and close unnecessary open sockets.
Establishing a USB Port Connection
A standard USB cable and the Extron DataViewer utility, version 2.0 or
newer, can be used for connection to the DTP CrossPoint matrix switcher
Conguration port. The USB cable, available at any local electronics
store, should be terminated on one end with a mini USB B male
connector.
NOTE: Before you use the USB port for the first time, install the
USB driver on your computer. The simplest way to do this is to
install the Product Configuration Software and then run the Found
New Hardware Wizard.
Host-to-Switcher Instructions
The switcher accepts SIS commands through its serial port, its USB port,
or its LAN port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per
command eld. 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 tables that begin on the next page are a partial list of
SIS commands. For a complete listing, see the DTP CrossPoint 84
IPCP Series User Guide.
Common SIS Command Symbols
The following symbols are used throughout the command and response
table, which starts on the next page:
• = Space
]
