Use with the new Gefen A/V Automation System Processor to create a complete control system. How It Works Connect the serial-controlled devices to the PACS RS-232 ports.

  • Page 6: Operation Notes

    OPERATION NOTES READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE PROFESSIONAL AUTOMATION CONTROL SYSTEM • The PACS is shipped with a static IP address of 192.168.1.72. This address may need to be changed before the PACS will work on your Local Area Network.

  • Page 7: Features

    RS-232 devices. Supports baud rates up to 115200. • Firmware can be upgraded via Web interface. • Rack-mountable using the 1U Rack Tray (Gefen part no. EXT-RACK-1U). Package Includes (1) Professional Automation Control System (4) Single IR emitters (1) 6 ft. DB-9 cable (M - F)

  • Page 13 CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS Setting the IP Address The PACS is designed to control devices over a network using a built-in Web server or via Telnet. Before using Telnet control or the built-in Web Server, the network settings for the PACS must be confi gured via IP. Before connecting the PACS to a network, locate the label on the bottom of the PACS.
  • Page 14 CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS If you computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.(x), and 192.168.1.72 is an available address, you can access the PACS by entering 192.168.1.72 in your Web browser. Otherwise use the following procedure to change the PACS IP address to match your network: Access the Network Setting control panel in Windows and locate your LAN connection.
  • Page 15 CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS Click on the Properties button to display the Local Area Connection Properties dialog. Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Click to highlight this Network protocol. Click the Properties button to display the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/ IPv4) Properties dialog.
  • Page 16 CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS STOP: Write down the current IP settings before making changes, since you will need to restore the old settings later. If the Properties are set to “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”, you do not need the actual address settings.
  • Page 17 CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS Click the OK button, then close all Control Panel windows. Refresh your Web browser and go to http://192.168.1.72 to open the PACS Web Server. Go to the Confi guration Menu (see page 35) and change the PACS IP address to an appropriate address for your network.

  • Page 18: Web Interface

    WEB INTERFACE The Built-in Web Server The PACS includes a built-in Web server which provides an intuitive Web interface. If TCP/IP is not confi gured on the PACS, then see page 9 for details on confi guring the PACS. If the PACS is already confi gured for use on a network, then open a Web browser and type in the IP address of the PACS.

  • Page 19: Rs-232 Menu

    WEB INTERFACE RS-232 Menu The PACS has three (3) RS-232 ports. The RS-232 Menu allows you to change the RS-232 port settings on the PACS. Description Provide a name to the device connected to this port (e.g. “SonyTV”, “Samsung”, etc.)

  • Page 20: Rs-232 Settings

    WEB INTERFACE RS-232 Settings Some RS-232 settings use a drop-down menu for selecting different options. For example, to select the Baud Rate, click the arrow icon then click on the required port speed: Arrow Icon Indicates a drop- down list. Click to list the available baud rates.

  • Page 21: Tcp / Udp Bridge Settings

    When using UDP you can broadcast the message by using the IP address: 255.255.255.255. Use TCP unless otherwise instructed by your Control System User Manual, or by Gefen Technical Support. See page 58 for a full explanation of these settings.

  • Page 23: Ir Emitters Menu

    WEB INTERFACE IR Emitters Menu The PACS has eight (8) IR Emitter (IR back-channel) ports. The PACS can use any one of these IR Emitter ports to send IR commands to the source device. Up to 64 IR commands can be stored per device. IR confi guration fi les can be saved, downloaded, uploaded, edited, and deleted.
