Ethernet Connection - Extron electronics DMS 1600 User Manual

Ethernet Connection

d
LAN port — If desired, for IP control of the system, connect the matrix
switcher to a PC or to an Ethernet LAN via this RJ-45 connector. You can use a
PC to control the networked switcher with SIS commands from anywhere in
the world. You can also control the switcher from a PC that is running the
Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program or has downloaded HTML pages from the
switcher.
Link LED indicator — The Link LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to
an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily.
Act LED indicator — The Act LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45
connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.
Cabling
It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cable type and that they be properly
terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or CAT 6,
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45
connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 m).
NOTES:
The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both
10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex
and full-duplex Ethernet connections.
•
10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.
RJ-45 connector wiring
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and
must be properly terminated for your application (see figure 8).
•
Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the DMS matrix
switcher
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the DMS matrix switcher to an Ethernet LAN

• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.
• Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.

T568A
A cable that is wired as T568A at one end
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.

A cable wired the same at both ends is
called a "straight-through" cable, because
no pin/pair assignments are swapped.
