Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
The Annotator 300 can be operated and configured using Simple Instruction Set (SIS)
commands input via a PC or control system connected to either the front panel USB port,
rear panel RS-232, or the Ethernet port.
Front Panel Configuration Port
The USB mini-B port, labeled CONFIG, is located on the front panel and used to connect
to a host computer for configuration using SIS commands with DataViewer software,
available at www.extron.com.
Ethernet Port and Connection
Ethernet (LAN) Port
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the unit can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or
WAN. Communications between the unit and the controlling device is via Telnet (a TCP
socket using port 23). The TCP port can be changed if necessary. This connection makes
SIS control of the unit possible using a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN.
Ethernet Cabling
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable
and must be properly terminated for your application (see
page 103 for cable termination details).
Default IP Addresses
To access the Annotator 300 via the Ethernet port, you need the Extron IP address and
may need the subnet mask and the gateway address. If the IP address has been changed
to an address comprised of words and characters, the actual numeric IP address can be
