About this Setup Guide
This setup guide helps you to easily and quickly set up,
configure, and operate your Extron SMX matrix switcher using
step by step instructions. It covers basic operations using the
front panel controls and selected Simple Instruction Set (SIS™)
commands, how to load and start the Windows®-based SMX
Control Program, and how to connect to the built-in HTML
pages for switcher operation.
NAs used in this guide the terms “video model” and
“audio model” refers to any SMX switcher that switches
video and audio respectively. The terms "SMX matrix
switcher", SMX switcher", "SMX", and "switcher" are
refer to a typical SMX System MultiMatrix Switcher.
NFor detailed information on the product described in this

Installation and cabling
Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and rack mount the SMX,
following the detailed instructions in chapter 2, SMX System MultiMatrix
Switchers User’s Manual found online at www.extron.com.
Step 2 — Connect inputs
Connect inputs from video and/or audio sources to the applicable I/O
board connectors marked “Inputs” (see table on page 1-2 for connector/
signal types).
Step 3 — Connect outputs
Connect audio and video output devices to the applicable I/O board
connectors marked “Outputs” (see table on page 1-2). See page A-3 for
audio connector wiring details

Also refer to the SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers User’s Manual at www.extron.com.
Step 4 — Connect control devices
LAN Ethernet port —Connect to an Ethernet LAN or WAN via this
RJ-45 connector bto control the switcher from a remote location, using
a PC’s Internet browser. See page A-2 for network cable termination
method.
The Ethernet connection indicator LEDs marked “Link” and “Act”,
indicate the status of the SMX’s Ethernet connection. The Link LED
lights green when connected to an Ethernet LAN, and the Act LED
flickers amber, as the devices communicate.
NDo not use standard telephone cables, as they do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet. Do not stretch or bend cables as transmission errors
could occur.
Remote port — For serial RS-232 or RS-422 control, connect a
host computer or control system via this 9-pin D connector d.
RS-232 protocol (default values):
• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • no parity • 8 data bits • no ow control.
NSee chapter 4, “SIS™Programming and Control”, in the SMX User’s
Manual, for definitions of the SIS commands. See chapter 5, “SMX
Software” to install and use the control software.
Step 5 — Connect power
AC power connector —Plug in a standard IEC power cord from a 100 to
240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz power source into this receptacle a.
Step 6 — Set plane address
Set the plane address (0-15) with the 16 position (0-F) rotary encoder m.
Installing/swapping the Input/Output boards
The I/O boards used in any installation will vary and can be installed
and changed as desired.
NAll boards are hot-swappable, and can be installed without shutting
down the switcher and removing the power.
Follow the instructions on the card supplied with the boards.
