DMP 128 • Setup Guide (Continued)
f
Digital I/O connectors — Connect up to four 6-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connectors. Each
connector provides five configurable digital input or output ports allowing connection of up to
twenty various devices such as motion detectors, alarms, lights, LEDs, buttons, photo (light)
sensors, temperature sensors, and more.
Digital I/O ports are used to monitor or drive TTL level digital signals. The inputs can be configured
to operate in one of two modes: digital input or digital output. In output mode, the device can
source up to 250 mA at +5 V. In input mode, voltages greater than 1 V indicate a logic 'high' signal
while voltages less than 1 V indicate a logic 'low'.
All digital I/O ports are tied to a common ground (one common ground for each 6-pole connector).
g
Connect a control system — There are three options to connect a control system to the DMP 128: LAN, RS-232, and USB
(front panel only). Extron recommends using the LAN port for configuration and remote control of the DMP 128.
RS-232 — Connect the host RS-232 cable to the rear panel of the switcher (
provided 3-pole captive screw connector for bi-directional RS-232 (±5 V) serial control. The
default baud rate is 38400. Use the wiring diagram at right.
LAN — Using a standard Ethernet cable, connect to a network via the LAN port (
table at right shows the default network settings. The control system and DMP 128 must be
connected on the same network.
NOTE:
To connect the DMP 128 directly to a computer Ethernet port, use a
crossover Ethernet cable.
USB — Connect the host USB port to the front panel configuration port, (not shown), using
a USB A to mini-B cable. The USB connection should be used only for configuration. Use the RS-232 or LAN port for remote
control of the DMP 128.
h
EXP port connector — One RJ-45 jack for digital audio connection to an additional DMP 128 using the Extron proprietary
protocol. Use the included one foot long shielded CAT 6 cable to connect two DMP 128s to form a larger matrix system. The
expansion bus supports 16 bi-directional channels of audio; eight assignable channels that can be mixed from any of the
input and virtual paths, and eight channels directly connected to the virtual return path outputs. See the DMP 128 User Guide
for operation details.
i
Reset button and LED indicator — The reset button returns the DMP 128 to different tiers of default states and places the
unit into an event recording mode for troubleshooting. The LED flashes to signify the different tiers
(see "DMP 128 Hardware Reset Modes" in the DMP 128 User Guide).
j
AT ports (AT models only) — Four RJ-45 jacks form a 4-port Gigabit switch that interfaces with the AT bus. The
AT expansion bus uses the Dante™ protocol for digital media networking allowing connection of multiple DMP 128 AT
models to form a larger matrix. See the DMP 128 User Guide for operation details.
NOTE:
The Dante Controller software is required for configuration of the AT expansion bus (see "Dante Controller
Software Installation" on the next page).
k
Telephone ports (P models only) — Two RJ-11 jacks for incoming line (LINE) and telephone (PHONE) connection.
The telephone interface follows all applicable US and International standards. A phone dialer is available in the
DSP Configurator control software to assist with setup and testing.
When all connections have been made, power up the input and output devices, then apply power to the DMP 128.
DSP Configurator Software Installation
There are no hardware controls for the DMP 128. All configuration and control is done using the DSP Configurator software. Install
DSP Configurator on a PC running Microsoft
DSP 128 User Guide on the Extron website at www.extron.com.
Insert the provided disc into the computer disc drive. If the setup program does not start automatically, run Launch.exe from the
DVD ROM. When the program opens, select the Software tab, locate the program, and click Install.
DSP Configurator can also be downloaded from the Extron website home page by clicking on the Download tab, selecting
Software from the list at the left, and locating the program. Click on Install and follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE:
On the first installation of DSP Configurator, the USB driver automatically loads. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Once the USB driver has loaded, the DSP Configurator software continues to load.
By default, the program is installed in the folder C:\Program Files\Extron\DSP Configurator and an icon may be placed
on the desktop.
