Connections Options

The ISS 608 can be configured and controlled using SIS commands or embedded web
pages. Configure and control the ISS 608 remotely via a host computer or other device
(such as a control system) by connecting to the rear panel RS-232 port, LAN port, or the
front panel USB Config port of the ISS device.

Rear Panel RS-232 Port

The ISS 608 has a rear panel serial port (see figure 2,
connected to a host device such as a computer running a HyperTerminal utility, or the
Extron DataViewer utility. The port makes serial control of the ISS possible. Use the protocol
information listed below to make the connection (see
on page 36).
The default protocol for the port is as follows:
•
•
The ports can be configured to operate at the 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rate.
NOTE: The switcher can operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates (see

Front Panel Configuration USB Port

The mini B USB port is located on the front panel (see figure 8,
to a host computer for configuration using SIS commands with DataViewer, available at
www.extron.com. To connect the ISS 608 to a host computer, download the USB driver,
follow the on-screen instructions, and configure the ISS as required.

Ethernet Link

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher (see figure 2,
to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible
using a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN (see
page 10 to wire the LAN connection).
