By default, audio input is selected automatically (see Audio input selection SIS commands on page 15 to manually select audio inputs). When input 2 or 3 is selected with automatic audio input selections, the switcher prioritizes embedded digital audio. The following table shows the audio format that is sent over the XTP connection when a specific audio format is not specified.
F RS-232 Over XTP port — To pass bidirectional serial or other control signals between XTP-compatible devices, connect a control device to the 5-pole captive screw connector. The port includes only the 3 poles labeled “RS-232.” RS-232 IR Over XTP port — To transmit and receive IR signals (up to 40 kHz), connect a control device to the 5-pole captive screw connector. This port includes only the 2 poles labeled “IR” and shares the ground pole with the RS-232 port.

SIS Configuration and Control The XTP T USW 103 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 19). This section contains basic SIS communication details and SIS commands and responses that are issued when a host is connected directly to the XTP T USW 103.
Error Responses When the XTP T USW 103 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.
