About the DMS Matrix Switchers
The DMS 1600, DMS 2000, DMS 3200, and DMS 3600 (see figure 1) are configurable matrix switchers that distribute DVI signals and DFX transmitter and receiver outputs and inputs. I/O boards route signals that are compatible with all Extron DVI video product lines and the fiber optic outputs and inputs of DFX transmitters and receivers. The matrix switcher routes any input signal to any combination of outputs. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.Extron Electronics DMS 1600 Configurable
Digital Video Matrix Switchers - Typical DMS 3600
Application

Each matrix switcher model can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet LAN port, a serial port, or a USB port using either the Windows-based Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program or the SIS.
The switcher has two internal, hot-swappable 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 175-watt power supplies that provide worldwide power compatibility and reliability.

Configurability
The DMS matrix switchers are assembled from I/O boards.

  • The DMS 1600 can include up to four I/O boards.
  • The DMS 2000 can include up to five I/O boards.
  • The DMS 3200 can include up to eight I/O boards.
  • The DMS 3600 can include up to nine I/O boards.

There are six types of I/O boards available:

  • 4×4 DVI inputs and outputs
  • 4×4 fiber inputs and outputs
  • 4 DVI inputs
  • 4 fiber inputs
  • 4 DVI outputs
  • 4 fiber outputs

By adding or removing I/O boards within certain rules that are detailed in “Configurability rules,” below, you can expand and contract each switcher model from a 4-input by 4-output matrix to up to:

  • DMS Matrix 1600 — A 16-input by 16-output matrix
  • DMS Matrix 2000 — A 20-input by 20-output matrix
  • DMS Matrix 3200 — A 32-input by 32-output matrix
  • DMS Matrix 3600 — A 36-input by 36-output matrix

Configurability rules
There are certain rules for configuring the DMS matrix switcher for proper operation, as detailed below:

  • The top slot (slot 1) MUST contain a 4×4 DVI or fiber optic input and output board.
  • The next slot (slot 2) can contain any of the six board types.
  • A 4×4 input and output board can be followed (in the slot directly underneath it) by any of the board types.
  • After you insert a 4-input board or a 4-output board, all active boards underneath it MUST be the same size (4 inputs or 4 outputs).
  • Fiber boards can follow DVI boards and DVI boards can follow fiber boards within the above size rules.
  • If you install a blank panel, all slots under it MUST contain blank panels (you cannot skip a slot).

Installation

This section describes installation of the DMS matrix switchers, including connections and features. Topics that are covered include:

  • Rear Panel
  • Front Panel

Rear Panel
I/O Board Configuration Overview
See figure 2. Each I/O board is identified by the input and output connector numbers supported by the board position. The input and output numbers on the boards are identified as locations A through D.Extron Electronics DMS 1600
Configurable Digital Video Matrix Switchers - Arrangement of Inputs and
Outputs

The board position designators correspond to the input and output numbers served by that position (1 through 4, 5 through 8, and so on).
The location designators, A through D, correspond to the DVI input or output, grouped with inputs on the left and outputs on the right and numbered from left to right.
The input numbers supported by the I/O board in slot 2 (locations 5 through 8) are as follows: A = 5, B = 6, C = 7, D = 8.

Remote Control

This section describes using the remote control features of the DMS matrix switchers to control the devices. Topics that are covered include:

  • Selected SIS Commands
  • Installing and Starting the Control Program
  • Accessing the HTML Pages

Selected SIS Commands
You can use Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands for operation and configuration of the switchers. You can run these commands from a PC connected to a serial port (item 5 on page 8), Ethernet port (item 6 on page 8), or USB port (item 1 on page 9) on the switcher.
Establishing a Network (Ethernet) Connection
NOTE: The first time you connect to the switcher via the LAN port, you may need to change the default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator password) of the switcher.
Establish a network connection as follows:

  1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the IP address of the switcher.
    NOTE: The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.
    The switcher responds with a copyright message including the name, firmware version, and part number of the product, and the current date and time.
    NOTES:
    • If the switcher is not password-protected, the device is now ready to accept SIS commands.
    • If the switcher is password-protected, a password prompt appears.

  2. If necessary, enter the appropriate password.
    If the password is accepted, the switcher responds with Login User or Login Administrator.
    If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.

Number of connections
A switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including all HTTP sockets and Telnet connections. When the connection limit is reached, the switcher accepts no new connections until some have been closed. No error message or indication is given that the connection limit has been reached. To maximize the performance of your switcher, keep the number of connections low and close unnecessary open sockets.
Establishing a USB Port Connection
A standard USB cable and the Extron DataViewer utility, version 2.0 or newer, can be used for connection to the DMS matrix switcher Configuration port. The USB cable, available at any local electronics store, should be terminated on one end with a mini USB B male connector

NOTE: Before you use the USB port for the first time, install the USB driver on your computer. The simplest way to do this is to install version 8.0 or newer of the Matrix Switchers Control Program and then run the Found New Hardware Wizard (see Installing the Program on page 21 and First-time Connection Considerations on page 22).
Host-to-Switcher Instructions
The switcher accepts SIS commands through its serial port, its USB port, or its LAN port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
NOTE: The table that begins on the next page is a partial list of SIS commands. For a complete listing, see the DMS Series Matrix Switcher User Guide, available on the Extron DVD or at www.extron.com.
Common SIS Command Symbols
The following symbols are used throughout the command and response table, which starts on the next page:

= Space
= Carriage return and line feed
= Carriage return (no line feed)
= Pipe (can be used interchangeably with the } character)
  = Escape key (hex 1B)
W = Can be used interchangeable with the character

Activate the connected USB port for your device as follows:
NOTE: If you have not installed the latest Matrix Switchers Control Program, click Cancel and install the program. Reconnect the switcher to the Configuration port.

  1. Select the No, not this time radio button and click Next. The wizard installs the necessary driver to access the switcher via the Configuration (USB) port (this may take a few minutes).
  2. On the next page that appears, select the Install the software automatically radio button and click Next. Follow the on-screen instructions. The wizard assigns the driver necessary to access the switcher to the connected Configuration (USB) port (this may take a few minutes).
  3. Click Finish to exit the wizard.

NOTE: You may need to repeat these steps if you subsequently connect the switcher to a different USB port on the same computer.

Starting the Program

  1. Click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics > Matrix Switchers > MATRIX Switcher + Control Pgm.
    The Comm Port Selection window appears.

  2. Choose the comm (serial) port that is connected to the switcher, USB, or IP [LAN].
    NOTE: For a comm port, check the baud rate displayed in the Comm Port Selection window. If you need to change the baud rate, click the Baud button and double-click the desired baud rate.

  3. Click OK.
    If you selected a serial port or the USB port in step 2, the Matrix Switchers Control Program is ready for operation.

  4. If you selected IP [LAN] in step 2, the IP Connection window appears. a. Examine the Matrix IP Address field, which displays the last Matrix IP address entered.
    If necessary, enter the correct IP address in the field.
    NOTE: 192.168.254.254 is the factory-specified default value for this field.
    b. If the switcher is password-protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user password in the Password field.
    c. Click Connect. The Matrix Switchers Control Program is ready for operation.

Accessing the HTML Pages

Another way to configure and operate the switcher is via its factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten. The HTML pages that are pre-loaded on the switcher are accessible through its LAN port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a web browser such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer® (see item f on page 8, for connection information.)

Configuring for Network Communication
The first time you connect a PC to the LAN port of a switcher, you may need to temporarily change the IP settings of the PC in order to communicate with the controller. Then you must change the default settings of the controller (IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator name and password) in order to use the unit on an intranet (LAN) or on the Internet. After you have set up the DMS matrix switcher for network communication, you can reset the PC to its original network configuration.

NOTE: The computer and the switcher must both be connected to the same subnet on a LAN (using a straight-through cable).
Alternatively, you can use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the controller directly to the computer.

Use the ARP command to configure the IP address as follows:

  1. Obtain a valid IP address for the DMS matrix switcher from the network administrator.

  2. Obtain the MAC address (UID #) of the switcher from the label on its rear panel. The MAC address should have this format: 00-05-A6-xx-xx-xx.

  3. If the switcher has never been configured and is still set for factory defaults, go to step 4. If not, perform a mode 4 system reset. For detailed information on reset modes, see “Reset Operations” in the DMS Series Matrix Switchers User Guide.
    NOTE: The switcher must be configured with the factory default IP address (192.168.254.254) before the ARP command is executed, as described below.

  4. At the PC, access the MS-DOS® command prompt, then enter the arp –s command. Type in the desired new IP address for the unit (see step 1) and the MAC address of the unit (from the rear panel of the unit). For example (where the new address is 10.13.197.7): arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0 and then press .
    After receiving the arp -s command, the controller changes to the new address and starts responding to the ping requests, as described in step 5.
    NOTE: You must ping the DMS matrix switcher as shown in step 5 for the IP address change to take place. The response should show the new IP address, as shown in the following figure.

  5. Execute a ping command by entering ping followed by a space and the new IP address at the command prompt. For example: ping 10.13.197.7
    C:>ping 10.13.197.7
    Pinging 10.13.197.7 with 32 bytes of data:
    Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
    Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
    Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
    Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
    Ping statistics for 10.13.197.7:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
    Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
    NOTE: You can reconnect using either Telnet or a web browser to verify that the update was successful.

  6. After verifying that the IP address change was successful, enter and issue the “arp –d” command at the DOS prompt. For example:
    arp –d 10.13.197.7 removes 10.13.197.7 from the ARP table
    or
    arp –d* removes all static IP addresses from the ARP table.

  • For proper cooling and air flow, boards or blank panels should be installed in all locations during normal switcher operations.
  • See I/O Board Configuration Overview on page 5 to understand the different arrangement of connectors on the I/O boards and the rules for arranging the configuration of you switcher.
  • The I/O boards are hot-swappable. You do not need to power down the switcher to remove an I/O board.

Circuit boards can be added or removed to increase or decrease the I/O configuration (matrix size) of the switcher. Remove and replace an I/O board or blank panel as follows:

  1. For an I/O board, disconnect any connected cables.

  2. Rotate the left and right knurled knobs to completely loosen the captive screws (see figure 14 on the next page).

  3. Gently pull on the knurled knobs to loosen the board or panel from the backplane.

  4. Slide the board or panel out of the chassis.
    ATTENTION: Do not touch the electronic components or the connectors on the backplane or on the circuit boards without being electrically grounded. Handle circuit boards by their edges only. Electrostatic discharge can damage circuits, even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.

  5. Place the removed board on an anti-static surface or in an anti-static container.

  6. For an I/O board, orient the board to be installed so that connector A (of either the input group of connectors or the output group of connectors) is on the left and connector D (of the same group of connectors) is on the right.Extron Electronics DMS 1600 Configurable Digital Video Matrix Switchers - Remove and Install an I O Board

  7. For an I/O board, align the board with the left and right chassis guides (above).

  8. Gently slide the board or blank panel into the enclosure. For an I/O board, slide the board toward the front panel until it meets resistance.

  9. Gently seat the board or panel in the backplane.

  10. Use a screwdriver to tighten the left and right knurled knobs to lock the board or panel in place.

Removing and Installing a Power Supply Module
(DMS 1600 and DMS 3600)
Each power supply module has a two-color LED, visible on the rear panel, that indicates the status of the power supply outputs. If the LED is lit green, the power supply is operating normally. If the LED is lit red, the supply has failed and should be replaced at the earliest opportunity. LEDs with identical meanings are also on the front panel.
The two power supply modules (primary power supply and redundant power supply) are identical and hot-swappable; you do not need to power down the switcher to install or remove either power supply module.

ATTENTION: The DMS matrix switchers use double pole/neutral fusing. Power must be disconnected before servicing internal components.
NOTE: DMS 2000 and DMS 3200 — The power supplies are fixed in place and are not field replaceable.

  1. Rotate the left and right knurled knobs to completely loosen the captive screws (see figure 15).Extron Electronics DMS 1600 Configurable Digital Video Matrix Switchers - Remove and Install a Power Supply Module
  2. Gently pull on the handle to loosen the power supply from the backplane.
  3. Slide the power supply out of the chassis.
  4. Orient the power supply module to be installed with the LED to the right.
  5. Align the flanges on the power supply module with the left and right power supply guides.
  6. Gently slide the power supply module into the enclosure until the power supply meets resistance.
  7. Gently seat the power supply in the backplane.
  8. Use a screwdriver to tighten the left and right knurled knobs to lock the power supply in place.

Removing and Installing a Fan (DMS 1600 and DMS 3600)
The DMS 1600 has a single fan module. The DMS 3600 has two identical fan modules. If a fan fails, it should be replaced at the earliest opportunity.
The fan modules are hot-swappable; you do not need to power down the switcher to install or remove either fan.

NOTE: DMS 2000 and DMS 3200 — The fans are fixed in place and are not field replaceable.

  1. Remove and retain the two screws that secure the row identification plate (identifying the rows of the adjacent DVI input and output connectors) to the fan. Retain the plate.
  2. Rotate the top and bottom knurled knobs to completely loosen the captive screws (see figure 16).Extron Electronics DMS 1600 Configurable Digital Video Matrix Switchers - Remove and Install a Fan
  3. Gently pull on the screws to loosen the fan from the backplane.
  4. Slide the fan out of the chassis.
  5. Orient the fan to be installed so that the printing on the back of the panel is right-side up.
  6. Align the flanges on the fan with the top and bottom fan guides.
  7. Gently slide the fan into the enclosure until the fan meets resistance.
  8. Gently seat the fan in the backplane.
  9. Use a screwdriver to tighten the top and bottom knurled knobs to lock the fan in place.
  10. Secure the row identification plate to the fan.
