SIS Programmer's Guide
The Annotator can be operated and configured using Simple Instruction Set (SIS
commands input via a PC connected to either of the processor's serial ports or the
Ethernet port. See
RS-232/RS-422 Link
The Annotator has two rear ports and one front port that can be used for serial
control. All ports enable use of SIS commands and the Windows-based control
software. The default protocol for these ports is:
• 9600 baud, • 1 stop bit, • no parity, • no flow control, • 8-bit.
See
Ethernet (LAN) Port
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the unit can be connected to an Ethernet
LAN or WAN. Communications between the unit and the controlling device is via
Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The TCP port can be changed if necessary. This
connection makes SIS control of the unit possible using a computer connected to
the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and behavior of the unit are identical
to that when communicating to it via RS-232.
Ethernet connection
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover
cable and must be properly terminated for your application. See Appendix B for
cable termination details.
Default IP addresses
To access the Annotator via the Ethernet port, you need the Extron IP address and
may need the subnet mask and the gateway address. If the IP address has been
changed to an address comprised of words and characters, the actual numeric IP
address can be determined using the ping (ICMP) utility (see Appendix B for more
details). If the addresses have not been changed, the factory-specified defaults are:
IP address: 192.168.254.254, subnet mask: 255.255.0.0, gateway address: 0.0.0.0
Establishing a connection
Establish a network connection to the processor as follows:
1.
N If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the
N If the processor is not password-protected, the device is ready to accept SIS
N If the processor is password-protected, a password prompt appears below the
