Green indicates the Host has established communications
with the embedded system.
Green flashing indicates the embedded system is ready
(running with DHCP IP address), but the Host has not
established communications with the embedded system.
Off indicates the embedded processor is resetting or is
powered up; and is booting the embedded firmware.
Red indicates the Host has determined the firmware needs
to be updated, but a problem occurred during the process
that will initiate a reset.
Red flashing indicates the embedded firmware is running,
but has not received a DHCP IP Address.
Amber indicates the Host is currently updating the
embedded firmware.
Amber flashing indicates the embedded system has a valid
link-local IP Address and is waiting to connect to the Host.
Hardware Failure
If the Controller has a hardware failure, the Status LED
indication will be interrupted every 3 seconds with a solid
red indication. For example, if the LED is flashing green
when a hardware failure occurs, the LED will flash green,
solid red, etc in 3 second intervals.
Green indicates RS-232 serial port data activity.
Off indicates no RS-232 serial port activity.
Green indicates GPIO port signal activity.
Off indicates no GPIO port activity.
Insert pin into hole for about 5 seconds to place in standby
mode. The Power LED turns red. Insert the pin again for
about 1 second to take system out of standby mode. The I/O
power switch on the back of Controller must be On (I) to
enable this function. To turn the power off for the entire
system, use the switch on the rear panel.
Green indicates the external host is connected to the
Host HDMI port.
Off indicates the external host is not connected to the
Host HDMI port.
Green indicates IR port signal activity.
Off indicates no IR port activity.
8-pin RJ-45 10/100 Base-T, auto-negotiating port with Link/
Activity LEDs:
See items 8 and 9 for LED operation.
8-pin RJ-45 female: Used to transmit and receive serial
binary data from devices.
Ports 1 & 2 support CTS/RTS.
When configured as an input, the port detects a voltage
present and can safely detect the presence of a voltage of
0-30V DC with a threshold of approximately 2.4V DC.
When configured as an output, the port outputs a voltage
below 12V DC 150mA. Combined maximum current for all
GPIO outputs is 550mA and will shut down if an over-current
condition is detected.
19-pin type A HDMI female digital video/audio input:
Supports HDMI, DVI/D (requires adapter-not included)
Limited to 185 MHz pixel clock. Used for receiving up to 4
PCM streams (iTunes®) from a Pro Host. This is not
available on the Smart Host.
RCA line-level analog audio inputs (4 Right & 4 Left)
RCA line-level analog audio outputs (12 Right & 12 Left)
100-240V, 2.5A—Fast acting fuse. This is field-replaceable.
Green indicates an Ethernet link has been established.
Green Flashing indicates Ethernet activity.
Off indicates an Ethernet link has not been established.
Yellow indicates an Ethernet connection speed of 100 Mbps.
Off indicates an Ethernet connection speed of 10 Mbps.
6-Pin Screw Down Plug in Connector (3.81 mm): (5V tolerant
only)
Sends IR signals to control devices with an IR input or IR
receiver via an IR flasher.
See
for important precautions regarding IR
functionality before making any connections.
