E Remote RS-232 connector — Connect an RS-232 capable host
device such as a computer or a touch panel control to this 3.5 mm
3-pole captive screw connector to configure and control the
switcher via SIS commands. Connect the 9-pin end of the RS-232
cable to the serial port of your computer or control system. The
default port parameters are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no
parity.
LAN port — Connect a computer, a network switch, or a control
F
system to this RJ-45 connector. With the Ethernet connection,
you can use a computer to configure and control the networked
switcher with SIS commands, the PCS configuration program, or
the embedded HTML page.
Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act
LEDs indicate the status of the Ethernet connection.
Link — Indicates that the switcher is properly
•
connected to an Ethernet LAN. This green LED
should light steadily.
Act (Activity) — Indicates transmission of data on the RJ-45
•
connector. This amber LED should flicker as the switcher
communicates.
Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated
with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to 328 feet (100 meters).
NOTES:
• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.
• Do not stretch or bend the cables because this can cause transmission errors.

Connector
A cable that is wired as T568A at one end
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
Figure 3. RJ-45 Connector and Pinout Tables
The cable you use 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 or higher UTP or STP cables.
•
Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e or higher UTP or STP cables.
•
Terminate the Ethernet cable as required:
Network connection — Wire as a patch (straight-through) cable.
•
Computer or control system connection — Wire as a crossover cable.

A cable that is wired the same at both ends
is called a "straight-through" cable because
no pin or pair assignments are swapped.
Both ends of the cable can be T568B (as shown)
or T568A (not shown).

NOTES:
• If you use cable that has a drain wire, tie
the drain wire to ground at both ends.
• Connect a ground wire between the DXP
LAN
and the computer or control system.
