Rs-232 Insertion - Dtp Outputs Only; Ethernet To Rs-232 Insertion - Extron electronics Quantum Ultra Series User Manual

RS-232 Insertion — DTP Outputs Only
NOTE: This feature is not available on the Quantum Ultra Connect models.
The twisted pair output ports on the DTP output card allow you to insert RS-232 control
signals onto the same cable that carries video to extend them to the OVER TP port on a
connected endpoint.
Signals from a control device pass into each OVER TP port on a DTP card, are embedded
with the TP signal, and are sent to individual TP receiver endpoints for control of remote
sink devices.
The control signals can be inserted two ways:

Ethernet to RS-232 insertion — A control signal applied to the Quantum Ultra
LAN A port can be routed to any OVER TP port (see "Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion").
The RS-232 insertion port number is entered as the Telnet port number when you
establish communication with the insertion port. The port numbers are automatically
assigned to the DTP outputs and are numbered sequentially, starting with 2001.
Captive screw insertion — A control signal applied to an RS-232 captive screw
port is tied directly to the associated TP port. You must physically connect a cable
attached to the captive screw connector where a control signal is to be inserted (see
Captive Screw Signal Insertion
on the next page shows a connection example of an Ethernet to RS-232
Connect a TP cable from the control processor to LAN port A, directly or via a
network.
If necessary, enable the port for Ethernet, using VCS (see
Method and RS-232 Protocol
If necessary to match the device to be controlled, use VCS to configure the port
RS-232 protocol (baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits).
Connect the TP cable to the endpoint as usual.
Connect a serial cable from the endpoint to the device to be controlled.
