System 5 IP Switchers 1 Chapter One Introduction About the System 5 IP Series Switchers How the System 5 IP Works: System 5 IP Components and Interactions
Introduction About the System 5 IP Series Switchers The Extron System 5 IP switchers are five input, one output, active, audio/video (A/V) switchers capable of controlling a projector and various other items such as lights, a projector lift, or a screen motor. Throughout this manual they are referred to as the System 5 IP, the switcher, or System 5.
As an integrated part of the System 5 IP switchers, IP Link provides these advantages: Global compatibility — The switcher uses standard Ethernet communication protocols, including ARP, DHCP, ICMP (ping), TCP/IP, Telnet, HTTP, and SMTP. Embedded Web page serving — IP Link™ products such as the System 5 IP offer 7.25 MB of flash memory for storing Web pages, configuration settings, and device drivers. Data in flash memory is served at a transfer rate of 6 Mbits per second.
Introduction, cont’d How the System 5 IP Works: System 5 IP Components and Interactions Unlike previous models of Extron system switchers or the Extron MediaLink Controller (MLC 206), the System 5 IP requires and uses event files to perform all functions except basic input switching and volume control. The event files define, monitor, and govern how the System 5 IP works. Below is an example of how the System 5 IP interacts with its accessories, event scripts, drivers, ports, and input and output devices.

Installation: Labeling, Mounting, Cabling UL/Safety Requirements The Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements listed below pertain to the safe installation and operation of a System 5 IP Switcher. 1. Do not use the switcher near water or expose it to liquids. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. 2. Clean the switcher only with a dry cloth. 3.
Mounting the System 5 IP Rack mount the switcher, if desired, using the included rack mounting kit (part #70-077-03), which is factory installed. Otherwise, affix the four rubber feet (included) to the corners of the bottom of the switcher for use on a tabletop. Rack mounting For rack mounting, do not install the rubber feet. The rack mounting brackets are attached to the switcher at the factory. Fasten the switcher to the rack using the supplied machine screws.

The Lineout and Preamp audio outputs are simultaneously active. Therefore, two devices can be connected at the same time (one to each output).
Installation: Labeling, Mounting, Cabling, cont’d CAUTION Connect the sleeve to ground. Connecting the sleeve to a negative (-) terminal will damage the audio output circuits. Mono output is selected via RS-232 or the front panel. If mono output is selected, a mono audio signal is output on both channels (left and right). If an output connector is wired for balanced output, the level will be 6 dB higher than if the connector is wired for unbalanced output.
This connector outputs either stereo (left and right) or dual mono channels. The two mono output audio channels are identical. If you intend to connect just one speaker, you should set the amplifier to output a mono signal. The amplifier’s power supply is separate from the switcher’s main power supply.
Installation: Labeling, Mounting, Cabling, cont’d Resetting the unit There are four reset modes (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison with an Extron IPL product) that are available by pressing the Reset button on the rear panel. The Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to access it. See the following table for a summary of the modes. CAUTION Review the reset modes carefully.

Installation: Labeling, Mounting, Cabling, cont’d 2 IR/Serial Output ports — Depending on how the switcher is configured via the configuration software, these ports output either infrared signals or unidirectional RS-232 signals for controlling various devices such as VCRs and DVD players. Before it can be used for controlling a device, each port must be set up via the configuration software for either IR or RS-232 communication and associated with a device driver.
CM/IR/SCP port — You can connect up to four Extron control modules (IRCMs, ACMs, RCMs), one Extron IR Link infrared signal repeater, and/or up to two Extron SCP control pads to this port to allow remote control of the System 5 IP switcher or other items. A maximum of seven devices can be connected to this port. Use the following diagram as a wiring guide. The SCP replicates most of the switcher’s front panel controls.
Installation: Labeling, Mounting, Cabling, cont’d 4 Relay ports (24 V, 1 A) — These six relays allow control of items such as room lighting, window coverings, and display screens. These contacts may be used to control any equipment as long as the contact specifications of a total of 24 volts at 1 ampere are not exceeded for each port. The pin assignments are shown in the picture below.

System 5 IP Switchers 3 Chapter Three Front Panel Features and Basic Operation Front Panel Features Optimizing the Audio Front Panel Security Lockout (Executive Modes) LCD Menus and Basic Switcher Setup
Front Panel Features and Basic Operation A System 5 IP can be set up and operated by using: • The front panel controls. • A computer, a touch screen panel, or any other device that can send and receive the serial communications through the RS-232 port. • A computer or other device using an Ethernet connection and IP protocol (Telnet or a Web browser). • An Extron SCP control pad. • The Extron IR 402 remote control or another device that can send IR signals.
3 Config port — This port is a front panel version of the rear panel Configuration/RS-232 port, and it is independent of the rear panel port. This port makes it possible to upload and configure device drivers and also to initiate IR learning via a front panel connection after the switcher has been installed. Connect a Windows-based PC or an RS-232 control system to this 2.5 mm mini stereo-style (tip-ring-sleeve) connector. You can use the Extron 9-pin D to 2.
PRELIMINARY Front Panel Features and Basic Operation, cont’d 5 Function/room control buttons — These buttons can be set up to control the switcher’s relays, and they can also be set up to execute IR or RS-232 commands of your choice. The relays can be used to control items in the room such as a projector lift, screen motor, or lighting. For details on how the relays operate and can be configured, see the installation instructions in chapter two and the configuration software information in chapter four.
8 LCD screen — This screen displays basic system status, menu, and configuration information. You will use it primarily during switcher configuration. During regular operation, the LCD displays the volume level. 9 Volume/Adjust knob and Min/Mid/Max LEDs — Rotate this knob to adjust the volume when the switcher is in regular user mode, and use it to select options from menus in switcher setup mode. The LEDs indicate different things depending on the mode (user or setup) the switcher is in.
Front Panel Features and Basic Operation, cont’d Configuring the Preamp output level Prior to adjusting any input levels, an output level must be selected from the following options. You will not need to change the output level if the Preamp output will not be used. • -10 dBV, unbalanced (consumer) (default): typically used when the switcher’s output is connected to the unbalanced input of a consumer product such as a VCR, stereo receiver-amplifier, or self-powered speakers.
3. Adjust the switcher’s input level via the front panel (FPC model only) or the embedded factory default Web pages (either model) until the desired output level is reached and/or the Mid/normal LED turns on.

Software- and Web Page-based Setup and Control A System 5 IP switcher must be configured before use. The System 5 IP can operate as a stand-alone audio/video switcher without being configured, but without configuration the switcher will not be able to control other devices. The System 5 IP switcher can be configured and controlled via a host computer attached to the rear panel Config/RS-232 port or LAN port, or the front panel Config port.
Setting up the PC for IP communication You need a Windows-based (Windows NT, 2000, XP, or higher) PC equipped with an operating network adapter. To allow your PC to work with Extron’s Ethernetcontrolled products, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed and properly configured.
Software- and Web Page-based Setup and Control, cont’d 4. Write down the PC’s current IP address and subnet mask below. If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically,” make a note of that, instead. You will need to restore these settings to the PC later. IP address: . . . . . . . Subnet mask: . 5. Change the PC’s IP address so it can communicate with the System 5 IP and change the switcher’s IP settings. a. Select the “Use the following IP address:” radio button. b.
Setting up the System 5 IP switcher (at initial start-up) for IP communication When you power on the System 5 IP for the first time, there are three ways to set up the switcher’s IP address: • Use the ARP command. • Use a Web browser. • Use the supplied configuration software. Once the switcher has been reconfigured, an Ethernet (intranet or Internet) connection can subsequently be used to contact, configure, or control it. Both your computer and the switcher must be connected to the same LAN.
Software- and Web Page-based Setup and Control, cont’d 5. Execute a ping command by entering “ping” followed by a space and the new IP address at the command prompt. For example: ping 10.13.170.15 The response should show the switcher’s new IP address, as shown below. PRELIMINARY You can reconnect using either Telnet or a Web browser to verify that the update was successful. 6. After verifying that the IP address change was successful, enter and issue the arp –d command at the DOS prompt.
conventions/protocol. The IP network administrator should provide the IP addresses and subnet mask to be used with this switcher. It takes a minute or so for the switcher to store the new settings. (See the configuration section of “Embedded Web Pages” in this chapter and also the Global Configurator Help file for details about settings.) Once the switcher’s IP address is changed, you lose communication with the switcher. 6. Close the browser. 7.
Software- and Web Page-based Setup and Control, cont’d Embedded Web Pages The System 5 IP switcher features an embedded Web server, which includes factory set Web pages. These pages can be replaced with user-designed files, but the default Web pages provide many basic features for monitoring, configuring, and controlling the switcher via a Web browser. These Web pages are based on and provide some of the features of the configuration program. This section provides an overview of the embedded Web pages.

The power amp limit settings are shown only for models with an integrated power amplifier. For details on adjusting per-input audio levels, read pages 3-5 through 3-7 and pages 3-9, and 5-9.
Software- and Web Page-based Setup and Control, cont’d PRELIMINARY • Email Alerts provides a way to add e-mail addresses of people or departments to be notified of various events, and this page also provides a way to associate an existing e-mail file with each e-mail address. The e-mail files have to be created separately, though. You can create customized e-mail messages by using SIS programming or via the Email Manager feature within the Global Configurator software.
File Management This Web page displays a list of files stored on the System 5 IP. It also allows those with administrator access to load additional files into the switcher or delete files. The File Management page allows you to sort by file type (see the Filter by File Extension or Select drop-down menu). Personnel with administrator access can view these pages and make changes. Those with user-level privileges are not able to see this page. Event files should NOT be deleted.

System 5 IP Switchers 6 Chapter Six Special Applications Working with Combination Source Devices Adding User-Defined RS-232 Commands Routing Audio to an External Amplifier and a Volume Controller Slaving an MPS 112 Switcher to a System 5 IP
Special Applications Working With Combination Source Devices Many combination DVD-VCR players can output the video signals from both the video tape and the DVD parts on a single port. If you connect this single output to one input on the System 5 IP switcher, the switcher has no way to automatically know whether it receives input from the DVD or from the VCR; the switcher treats it as one input device and does not switch between the two.
Using IRCM control modules for DVD-VCR control The output of a combination DVD-VCR player can be connected to a single input of the System 5 IP, and you can install and configure Extron control modules such as the IRCM-DVD or IRCM-DVD+, and an IRCM-VCR to control the separate sources within the combination device.
Special Applications, cont’d To configure the switcher for an IRCM-DV+ and DVD-VCR control, follow this procedure: See chapter four and refer to the System 5 IP Setup Guide for instructions on how to use Global Configurator software. The instructions in this section assume that you have a basic understanding of how to start a project and perform basic setup tasks using Global Configurator.

14. If needed, add commands from the DVD-VCR driver to each press/release action (1 and 2) for the Room 2 button. You might want to assign a DVD command and a Play command to the first press/release and to assign a VCR command and a Play command to the second press/release. For example: a. Click Add below the Button Operations area at the bottom of the GC window. The Add Button Operation window appears. b. Select Driver as the operation type. c.
Special Applications, cont’d 15. In the IP Link tab area, click on the address of one half of the IRCM-DV+ module.

Adding User-Defined RS-232 Commands The Extron drivers used by the System 5 IP and other IP Link™-enabled products contain most commands needed for a given device. However, occasionally an installation requires a user-defined RS-232 command that was not supplied with the standard driver. The Global Configurator software allows you to customize the installation by including and executing unidirectional (transmit-only) RS-232 commands to control a display or source device. 1.
Special Applications, cont’d 9. Select User Defined as the type of operation. See the screen shot below. 10. Select the port via which the command will be sent to the display or source device. 11. In the Command space below the port selection menu, enter the command as an ASCII character string. • Spaces are automatically converted to 20hex when the command is sent out. • All ASCII characters are accepted as-is except the percent symbol (%), which must be URL encoded.

Glossary 10/100Base-T is Ethernet which uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP – Cat 5, etc.) cable, where the amount of data transmitted between two points in a given amount of time is equal to either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol which assigns an IP address to a device based on the device’s MAC or physical machine address.
Reference Material, cont’d the Internet, a table (see ARP) relates the device’s IP address to its corresponding physical (MAC) address on the LAN. Pass-through allows control systems to work with the switcher and provides a link between two ports. Ping (ICMP) is a utility/diagnostic tool that tests network connections. It is used to determine if the host has an operating connection and is able to exchange information with another host.
System 5 IP Switchers B Appendix B Firmware Updates Determining the Firmware Version Updating the Main Firmware Updating FPGA Firmware
Firmware Updates If the need arises, you can replace the Extron System 5 IP switcher’s main firmware via an IP connection without opening the unit or changing firmware chips. It is unlikely that you will need to replace the FPGA firmware chip, which controls the switcher’s hardware (ports, relays), but it can be replaced after opening the unit.
1. Connect the switcher to a PC via an Ethernet connection, or connect the switcher and the PC to a network/LAN. See chapters two and four of this manual and read the System 5 IP Setup Guide for details. 2. Start a Web browser program (such as Microsoft® Intenet Explorer or Netscape® Navigator®). 3. Type the switcher’s IP address into the browser’s address area and log on to the System 5 IP’s internal Web page (see chapter four) or to the optional GlobalViewer Web page stored in the System 5 IP.
Firmware Updates, cont’d Updating the Main Firmware The PC and the switcher must both be connected to an Ethernet network in order to update the main firmware. Firmware upgrades can be performed via IP only. You may wish to save the existing configuration to a file (see chapter four) before replacing the firmware. Check the Extron Web site for firmware-related documents, instructions, patch files, and new firmware files before loading new firmware into the switcher.
In the Choose file dialog box, locate and select the firmware file you downloaded to C:\Program Files\Extron \Firmware\System_5_IP \xx, and click the Open button. 6. Click on the Web page’s Upload button to upload the firmware into the switcher. It takes a while to load all the files into the switcher. You will not see any on-screen indication when the upload has finished.
Firmware Updates, cont’d Locate chip U8 on the circuit board, as shown in the following illustrations. PRELIMINARY 4. Align Notches U8 10 0-24 0V 1.
Align the slots of the new FPGA chip with the socket in the same orientation as the old chip. 9. Gently but firmly press the chip into place in the socket. 10. Replace the top cover on the switcher, and fasten it with the screws that were removed in step 3. 11. Rack, wall, or furniture mount the switcher, and reconnect the AC power cord. PRELIMINARY 8.
