Step 7 — Connect a control system

Extron recommends using the LAN port for configuration and remote control of the DMP 64. However there are three options; RS-232,

USB and LAN. See Chapter 2, "Rear Panel Features and Cabling" for additional information.

RS-232 — Connect the host RS-232 cable to the 3-pin captive screw connector on the rear of the switcher.

Do not tin the wires!

USB — Connect the host USB port to the front configuration port using a USB to mini-USB cable.

LAN — Using a standard ethernet cable, connect to the network via the LAN port ( i ). To connect the DMP 64 directly to a computer, use a crossover ethernet cable. The table at right shows the default network settings.
