CAT5 Preparation The CATSwitch is a point to point video extender/switcher. The system does not allow to connecting the Cat5 via hubs or any kind of switches that the point to point connection need be maintained. The 16 RJ45 ports on the front of the CATSwitch are output ports, providing connectivity to the XTPro or XT-AV receiver.

1. Click on the Record button (last button shown above). A blinking “recording” message below this button will be displayed to indicate that all routes are being recorded. 2. Select the desired cross points. (See CATSWITCH Routing for details on making these routes.) There is no limit on the number of routes you may record.
You have the option of controlling the CATSWITCH via Remote Control. The remote is used to control the CATSWITCH. The SM-EYE must be connected to the CATSWITCH ( this is an optional connector not always available in all boxes) in order to interface the remote control with the matrix.
Controlling the CATSwitch with the SMTCP module The SMTCP-2 is an RS-232 control module that allows most SmartAVI switching matrixes to be controlled remotely via HTTP or TELNET. Manage the switching functions of your matrix with ease from anywhere in the world. With the SMTCP-2 you can save up to 10 preset input/output configurations for easy access.

Controlling the CATSwitch with the SMTCP module (continued) Connecting to the SMTCP-2 for the first time The first time you connect the SMTCP-2, you will need to perform the following steps to set the initial configuration. This includes establishing an HTTP connection and manually setting the IP address for the SMTCP-2.
