Microphone input — The built-in microphone amplifier is switchable with microphone power (MPS 112 – 15 V and MPS 112CS – 48 V phantom power). The MPS 112 features unbalanced microphone input on one 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack, while the MPS 112CS has balanced/unbalanced microphone input on a 3-pole captive screw connector.
Installation Mounting the Switcher The MPS 112 and MPS 112CS are housed in 1U high, 17.4" wide metal enclosures that are rack- or desk-mountable. The MBD 149 1U through-desk and rack mounting kit (#70-077-03) is included with the switchers. The switchers may also be surface-mounted under a table, desk, or podium, or on a wall, using the optional Extron MBU 149 1U under-desk mounting kit (#70-222-01).
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack- mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). Table or wall mounting The table/wall mounting brackets extend approximately 1/4" (6.4 mm) above the top surface of the switcher enclosure.

Windows ® -based Control Program The Windows-based Control Program (Extron part number 29-060-01) for controlling the MPS Series switchers via RS-232 requires Windows 95/98, NT, or later. It provides remote control of MPS switcher functions. Installing the Windows-based Control Software The program is contained on a CD, and it occupies approximately 2.5 MB (megabytes) of hard drive space.

MPS switcher error responses When the MPS switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host.
