Guide Overview This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron XTP CrossPoint1600 Matrix Switcher (see figure 1) and XTP CrossPoint 3200 Matrix Switcher. These customizable matrix switchers support up to 16 (XTP CrossPoint1600) or 32 (XTP CrossPoint 3200) inputs and outputs.
Product Description The XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switchers are configurable, modular switchers that distribute a variety of video, audio, and data types, depending on its configuration. A matrix switcher routes any input signal to any combination of outputs. It can route multiple signals at once.
• XTP CrossPoint 3200 — 10U high The base XTP CrossPoint1600 ships with two internal power supplies on a single AC connection that provide 12 V and 48 V. It can be ordered with two additional optional redundant (12 V and 48 V) power supplies. The customer cannot install the redundant power supplies.
Input and Output Board and Signal Types The XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switchers are assembled from user-installed and hot-swappable input and output boards. This section details the signal types processed by each board and the function of boards. The boards have a primary signal type that is identified by the name of the board and used as the subsections of the Primary signal type, by board section starting on the next...
Page 13
Primary signal type, by board XTP input and output boards The XTP boards are essentially receivers (input boards) and transmitters (output boards). The input board receives up to four XTP inputs, on either Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cable or shielded Category 5e, 6, or 7 (CAT x) shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors, from Extron XTP transmitters.
Page 14
HDMI input boards and DVI Pro input boards both also have four analog balanced stereo inputs on captive screw connectors (see Analog audio inputs on the next page). HDMI output boards and DVI Pro output boards both also have four analog balanced stereo Analog audio outputs outputs on captive screw connectors (see on the next page).
Secondary signal type Serial port inserts The XTP and fiber input and output boards also have four local RS-232 and IR insert inputs on captive screw connectors. The insert inputs support up to a 115k baud rate. Each RS-232 and IR insert and local output is for the associated input or output only and cannot be tied to other outputs or inputs.

Remote power to XTP transmitters and receivers — To simplify installation in • space-challenged locations, an XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher can provide power to remote XTP transmitters and receivers over the same STP cable that is used for sending AV signals. This avoids the need for external power supplies at remote endpoints.

Internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power • supply provides worldwide power compatibility. Primary and redundant power supplies — Redundant power supplies (optional • for the XTP CrossPoint 1600, standard for the XTP CrossPoint 3200) are available for continuous, mission-critical applications where power reliability is crucial.

Optimizing the Analog Audio The level for each analog audio input can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to +24 dB, so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the best headroom and signal-to-noise ratio. The volume for each analog audio output can be adjusted from full loudness to effectively muted.
Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion Figure 50 is an example of a typical Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, in which an Extron IPCP module provides control of an HD camera via the matrix switcher. Configure this type of insertion as follows: Connect a TP cable from the IPCP module to the LAN port, directly or via a network. If necessary, enable the port (input port 4 in this example) for Ethernet (see Enabling Ethernet and Captive Screw Insertion...

These ports make remote control of the matrix switcher possible using a direct connection. The local ports are: •...
Establishing a Connection Establish a network connection to an XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher as follows: Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the IP address of the matrix switcher. NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory-specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.
The matrix switcher does not expect a response from the host, but, for example, the host program might request a new status. (c) Copyright 20yy, Extron Electronics, XTP CP nn00, Vx.xx, 60-nnnn-01 <day, date, time> The matrix switcher initiates the...

Arrangement of Command and Response Tables Different board types and endpoint types accept different types of commands. There is some repetition in the command and response tables, depending on the input and output for which the commands are appropriate. Additionally, basic whole-matrix-switcher commands, more advanced whole-matrix-switcher commands, and IP- and remote port setup commands are presented in separate command and response tables.

Ethernet Connection This section provides a high level discussion of the Ethernet connection to the matrix switcher and a primer on the subject of subnetting. Topics that are covered, include: • Ethernet Link • Subnetting — A Primer Ethernet Link The rear panel Ethernet connector on the XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN.
Pinging to Determine the Extron IP Address The ping utility is available at the Command prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet interface between the computer and the XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher. Ping can also be used to determine the actual numeric IP address from an alias and to determine the Web address.
Configuring the XTP CrossPoint Series Matrix Switcher for Network Use via the ARP Command The ARP (address resolution protocol) command tells your computer to associate the MAC (media access control) address of the XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher with the assigned IP address.
Connecting as a Telnet Client The Microsoft Telnet utility is available from the prompt. Telnet allows you to input SIS commands to the XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher from the PC via the Ethernet link and the LAN. Access the prompt and start Telnet as follows: Search for in the taskbar (Windows 10) or the Start menu (Windows 10-Vista).
Escape character and Esc key When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the Escape character is ‘ ’. Many Ctrl SIS commands include the keyboard key. Consequently, some confusion may exist <Esc> between the Escape character and the Escape key. The Telnet Escape character is a key combination, the key and the key pressed...
Subnetting — a Primer It is not the purpose of this guide to describe TCP/IP protocol in detail. However, some understanding of TCP/IP subnetting (a subnet is a subset of a network — a set of IP devices that have portions of their IP addresses in common) is necessary in order to understand the interaction of the XTP CrossPoint Series matrix switcher and the mail server gateway.
Determining Whether Devices Are on the Same Subnet To determine the subnet, the IP address of the analog device is compared to the IP address of the remote device (see figure 85). The octets of each address are compared or not compared, depending on the value in the related subnet mask octet.
