SIS Configuration
and Control
Extron SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands can be issued from a host computer to
remotely perform certain configuration and control functions on the AXP 64 C AT. This
section describes the Ethernet connection through which these commands are issued to
the AXP 64 and the commands. Topics include:

Establishing a Network Connection
To send SIS commands over Ethernet, connect any one of the AXP 64 rear panel AT
connectors to the network to which your computer or control device is connected. For
connection, use a straight-through Ethernet cable. To enter and issue commands from the
computer, use a host communication utility such as Extron DataViewer. Communication is
via a TCP/IP socket to the IP address of the AXP 64, using port 4333.
To connect the computer to the AXP via the network, you need the IP address of the
AXP. You can find the address by connecting the AXP to Dante, which provides a list IP
addresses of all devices connected to it.
NOTE:
In order to find the IP address of a connected Dante AXP device, you need
the name of the device. The default name consists of the model number (AXP 64)
followed by a hyphen and the last 6 digits of the device MAC address (for example,
AXP 64 - 063f70). (The MAC address is on a label on the rear panel.)
It is highly recommended that you change the name
of the AXP 64 before
beginning to configure it (see
Renaming the AXP 64 C AT in Dante Controller
page 25 for the procedure).
