TP Cable Termination and Recommendations Use the following pin configurations for twisted pair cables.
RS-232 and IR Over XTP Communication The RS-232 and IR Over XTP connector is for pass-through transmission of serial signals, such as projector control signals, and infrared data. To pass bidirectional serial command signals between XTP-compatible devices, connect a control device to the three leftmost poles (Tx, Rx, and G) of the 5-pole captive screw connector. To transmit and receive IR signals, connect a control device to the three rightmost poles (G, Tx, and Rx). The ground (G) pole is shared.
Power Connection Apply power to the transmitter locally with the provided power supply or remotely with a power injector or an XTP matrix switcher. ATTENTION: XTP remote power is intended for indoor use only. No part of the network that uses XTP remote power should be routed outdoors. Local power 2-Pole Captive Screw Connector Tie Wrap 3/16” (5 mm) Max. SECTION A–A Smooth Ridges A A Power Supply Output Cord Figure 19. Power Wiring The XTP T FB 202 can be connected to a local power supply.
Remote power The XTP T FB 202 can be powered remotely through an XTP Power Injector or through an XTP matrix switcher. ATTENTION: XTP remote power is intended for indoor use only. No part of the network that uses XTP remote power should be routed outdoors.
Operation The XTP T FB 202 can be controlled only by SIS commands (see SIS Configuration and Control on page 18) or the XTP System Configuration Software (see XTP System Configuration Software on page 23). This section contains basic information about operation details. Topics in this section include: • Switch Modes • EDID • Reset Modes Switch Modes The XTP T FB 202 has two switch modes: normal and auto switch. In normal mode (default), inputs must be selected manually.
SIS Configuration and Control The XTP T FB 202 can be configured and controlled using Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands or the XTP System Configuration Software (see XTP System Configuration Software on page 23). This section contains basic SIS communication details and SIS commands and responses when connected directly to the XTP T FB 202.
Error Responses When the XTP T FB 202 receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends the corresponding response to the host device. If the command is determined invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host.
