Serial RS-232 Settings panel

This panel provides basic serial port configuration that includes:

• Mode: — Configures the port to receive SIS commands from an external host controller,

or to pass communication between the "serial pass-through" network port and the

serial port. Select the mode from the drop-down list:

• SIS — To set the serial port to the default configuration for SIS communication.

• Direct Access — To set the serial port to enable serial data passthrough.

• Disable — To prevent all serial port communications.

Click Save to enable the selection.

In addition, the serial port can be configured manually with the following drop-down

lists:

• Baud Rate: — Select the baud rate for the RS-232 port from this drop-down list.

• Stop Bits: — Select the stop bits for the RS-232 port from this drop-down list.

• Bits: — Select the data bits for the RS-232 port from this drop-down list.

• Parity: — Select the parity for the RS-232 port from this drop-down list.

• Reset to Default — Click Reset to Default to return the port mappings to their

defaults.

• Save/Cancel: — Click Save to save new RS-232 settings. Click Cancel to discard all

changes and return to the previous settings.

Firmware Loader

The Firmware Loader page provides a way to upload and install new firmware and to

export configuration settings from the connected SMD101, or import saved configuration

settings from another SMD101. Check for firmware updates on the product page at the

Extron website. Download the firmware to a location on the computer connected to the

SMD101.

NOTE: During a firmware upgrade, the file temporarily resides in the SMD101 local

user memory. There must be sufficient space available to accommodate the firmware

file for the update to succeed. For example, a 52 MB firmware upgrade file requires at

least 52 MB of unallocated memory. Prior to an update, check the available internal

memory (see Status Page on page45). If there is not at least enough to store the

entire firmware file, delete or remove files from the internal memory until there is.
