When SIS‑over‑SSH mode is disabled, all SIS‑over‑SSH requests (aside from the query
about the current mode of operation) are unsuccessful, and the unit returns error code 37:
Invalid command while in SPD mode. The SIS command to query the operation mode of the
IPL EXP PDU4H is a query only, not a command to set the mode.
To re‑enable the SIS‑over‑SSH mode of operation, you must clear or remove pairing
information from the IPL EXP PDU4H by:
•
•
•
Secure Platform Device Mode
For more detailed control of the IPL EXP PDU4H and to use it as part of a control system,
enable SPD mode, which requires a network connection. SPD mode is:
•
•
•
The IPL EXP PDU4H must acquire and display pairing information (primary controller
address and system ID) other than the default settings.
•
•
NOTES:
SIS Configuration and Control
SIS‑over‑SSH mode requires connecting the IPL EXP PDU4H and the PC to the same network
and using an SSH client application such as PuTTy to communicate via logical port 22023.
TIP: The IPL EXP PDU4H cannot use SIS commands when it is in Secure Platform
Applying a Toolbelt reset to the unit
Removing the paired primary controller information from the IPL EXP
Performing a Reset to Factory Defaults reset
Enabled once the unit is paired with an IPCP Pro xi Series control processor via Toolbelt
and configured using Global Configurator or programmed with Global Scripter (see
Software-Based Configuration and Control
Able to guarantee secure communication in an environment of Extron‑only products
Disabled when the device is disconnected from the Extron control system (when the
device is reset in Toolbelt or the connection between the control processor and the
IPL EXP is interrupted)
The IPL EXP remains in SPD mode as long as it is successfully paired to the system.
SPD mode is disabled if and when the paired information is cleared or removed.
• Attempts to communicate to the device through port 22023 while in this mode
result in an error code. The SIS command to query the mode of operation is the
only SIS command accepted while the device is operating in SPD mode.
• Building and uploading a GC or GS project changes the state of the ports to
factory default, or to the configured or programmed values, depending on the
actions defined in the project. This state change is performed in case the user
made changes via SIS or via the IPL EXP PDU4H embedded webpage before
building and uploading the project.
Device mode. To change the unit from SPD mode and re‑enable SIS‑over‑SSH mode,
