The firmware update application must see the switch er at IP 192.168.10.81 port 23. 7.5.3 Network Connect – Control and/or Configuratio n The laptop (or other PC) should be set for DHCP or to have its IP address assigned automatically by the n etwork. Follow the steps in section 7.5.1, but select Obtain an IP address automatically: The switcher IP can be set for a fixed IP or for DH CP; see the [DHCP] command for details. The default is DHCP ena bled. Connect the switcher to the network and the server assigns an IP automatically. This IP can be discovered using UDP protocol as follows: Send “?Altinex” in a single packet. Do not type the characters individually or the command is ignored. Any UT260-052s on the network respond with feedback similar to the following single line: [ALT010400000,00:1E:C0:E6:D5:BE,00023, 192.168.10.84,255.255.255.0,192.168.10.1] The data inside the brackets includes the switcher alias, MAC address, TCP/IP port, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. 7.5.4 TCP/IP Protocol This section lists all the TCP control and configur ation command formats and their ranges. The default IP ad dress is 192.168.10.84 and the port is always port 23. All commands begin with an open “[“ bracket and end with a close “]” bracket. Do not send carriage returns or line feeds; these are not valid characters and are ignored. Control Command Feedback: Commands that are used to control the switcher provide the following feedback responses: [ ] Command executed [ER] Command error (bad format, out of range, etc. ) [STBY] The switcher is in sleep mode and the comman d is not available. The feedback for query commands (version, status, e tc.) is dependent on the command sent. 1. [AUTOx] This command enable or disables the auto-switch fun ction of the switcher. Enabling auto-switch causes the sw itcher to automatically switch a newly connected HDMI sour ce to one or more outputs. If disabled, users must select inputs using ShareTime CEC controllers, Input Select (Show Me) buttons, or a third party control system. Command format: [AUTOx] x = Mode (x = # from 0 to 3) 0 = Off 1 = Output 1 2 = Output 2 3 = Outputs 1 and 2 2. [BLANKxy] This command enables or disables TMDS blanking and is designed for use with the Altinex scaler VP500-102 Command format [BLANKxy] x = Output (x = # from 1 to 3) 1 = Set Output 1 only 2 = Set Output 2 only 3 = Set Outputs 1 and 2 y = Enable or disable blanking (y = 1 or 0) 1 = Enable 2 = Disable 3. [CECx] Verification of CEC enabled device on all outputs. Use this command to verify a display, TV, or monitor is CEC compatible. If the destination device is not respon sive it is not rated for this HDMI specific feature. Command format: [CECx] x = Send control (x is 0 or 1) 0 = Turn TV off 1 = Turn TV on Example: Send [CEC1] to turn on all TVs and [CEC0] turns off all TVs. Note that some TVs do not respond to on/off commands if they are sent to quickly. It may be nec essary to wait several seconds after sending the off comma nd before sending the on command.

This command returns [ ] if successful, [ER] if the format is wrong or there is no input signal, and [STBY] if the switcher is in sleep mode . Command format: [IxOy] x = Input (x # from 0 to 5, 0 = internal media play er) y = Output (y # from 1 to 3) 1 = Output 1 2 = Output 2 3 = Output 1 and Output 2 Connect Input 1 to Outputs 1 and 2 by sending [I1O3 ]. 13. [INn] This command switches any available input to both o utputs in mirror mode; Output 2 always follows Output 1. Command format: [INx] x = Input (x # from 0 to 5, 0= internal media playe r) Connect the internal media player to Outputs 1 and 2 by sending the command [IN0] while in mirror mode. 14. [INM] This command sets the switcher to operate in mirror mode where Output 2 always follows Output 1. A switcher restart is required to activate. Command format: [INM] Set mirror mode by sending the command [INM]. After sending this command, you need to either reset powe r to the switcher or execute a soft reset using the comm and [SFT]. 15. [INX] This command set the switcher to operate in matrix mode, providing individual control over the outputs. A sw itcher restart is required to activate. Command format: [INX] Set matrix mode by sending the command [INX]. After sending this command, you need to either reset powe r to the switcher or execute a soft reset using the comm and [SFT]. 16. [PRG] Enter update mode to enable a firmware update. Cont act Altinex Technical Support for details on this featu re. Command format: [PRG] 17. [SLEEP] This command puts the switcher to sleep and turns o ff the TVs. In this mode, the switcher enters a low power state until needed again. The switcher still responds to most commands. The switcher cannot be put to sleep if th ere are any input signals present on Inputs 1~ 5 in 5x2 mod e, or 1~4 in Video Conference mode. Command format: [SLEEP] Send [SLEEP] to force the switcher to sleep. If the switcher is already asleep an [ER] message is generated. Input signals prevent the switcher from going to sl eep, the message [SIGNALS PRESENT] is returned. 18. [SSDMx] This command is used with Video Conference (VC) mod e. It sets the shutdown delay of the switcher, or how long the switcher displays the screensaver (internal media p layer) image or VC image when there are no more active sig nals present. After this time, the switcher enters sleep mode. If Input 5 (VC) is removed, the standby timer [STBM ] is used to determine when the system goes to sleep. If the standby time is set to zero, the shutdown timer [SS DM] continues the countdown. If both the shutdown [SSDM] and standby [STBM] time rs are set to zero, the switcher never automatically e nters sleep mode. The switcher must be force to sleep usi ng TCP/IP control, TV remote control, or CEC controlle rs. This timer is set in 15 minute increments up to 12 hours. Command format: [SSDMx] x = 15 minute multiplier (x # from 0 to 48) 0 = never sleep 1 = 15 minutes 48 = 12 hours Send [SSDM4] to set the shutdown delay with In 5 pr esent and in VC mode to 1 hour. 19. [STBMx] This command sets the standby time of the switcher, or how long the switcher displays the screensaver (int ernal media player) image when there are no more active s ignals present. After this time, the switcher enters sleep mode. If both the shutdown [SSDM] and standby [STBM] time rs are set to zero, the switcher never automatically e nters sleep mode. The switcher must be force to sleep usi ng TCP/IP control, TV remote control, or CEC controlle rs. This timer is set in 30 second increments up to 8 h ours. Command format: [STBMx] x = 30 second multiplier (x # from 0 to 960) 0 = never sleep 1 = 30 seconds 960 = 8 hours Send [STBM60] to set the standby time to 1 hour.

UT260 UT260 UT260 UT260- -- -052 052052 052 User’s Guide 400-0607-001 18 8. Troubleshooting Guide We have carefully tested and have found no problems in the supplied UT260-052. However, we would like to offer suggestions for the following: Switcher Symptom Resolution LEDs on Switcher Are OFF Make sure the unit is plugged into a working AC out let and the DC plug is inserted all the way into the switcher. Use only the power adapter provided. No Display Check the source and make sure there is a signal pr esent. Make sure the monitor has power and is turned on. Check TVs for CEC compatibility. The switcher tells the TVs to turn on and select th e appropriate inputs, but if the TV is not CEC compatible the TV must be turned on manually. Enable the CEC option on the TVs. Make sure the CEC option is enabled on the TV, or t he TVs will not turn on automatically. Some TVs ship with this feature disabled. View the Sleep Mode: While in sleep mode, switcher will cont inually send OFF and STANDBY commands to TV. To wake up the unit, Wake Up on signal present must be enabled on one or all the inputs Poor Output Image The source resolution may not be compatible with th e projector or other display device. Try other resolutions from the source. The source and display may not be compatible. Conne ct the source directly to the input of the projector or other display device. If the image is poor the devices may be incompatible. Don’t know the IP address UDP Broadcast 1. Download AVSNAP from http://avsnap.com/ and go into communication mode. 2. Send a UDP broadcast to 255.255.255.255 port 303 04. Figure 1: AVSNAP Com Setup Using the following data string: ?Altinex *UDP commands must be sent from the notepad within AVSNAP to the terminal. 3. The switcher responds with the following data in a UDP packet to the host IP: The data string contains the hardware/software ver sion, MAC address, TCP port number, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. System Failure Please call the Altinex Customer Ser vice Department at (714) 990-2300 to have the unit repaired.
