ExtremeUSB –Introduction

Introduction
Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world
of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the
video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we
have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!
ExtremeUSB Network Configuration (XUSBNETCFG) has been developed to control USB-
KDS2 extenders that have SwitchableUSB™ or Simultaneous Users Interaction capabilities.
This document explains how to use our APIs.
XUSBNETCFG includes two features, SwitchableUSB™and Simultaneous Users Interaction
that are enabled on specific extender and core models.
SwitchableUSB™ is a protocol developed to dynamically switch KDS-USB2-EN (LEX) and
KDS-USB2-DEC (REX) extender pairings over a LAN. Imagine the extenders being manually
unplugged and re-plugged in swapped pairing configurations, but effortlessly via initiated
command over the LAN. Your OEM control solution (perhaps a separate console or GUI
software application for the host computer) would initiate the SwitchableUSB™ command
configurations.
Simultaneous Users Interaction (SUI) is a feature that enables up to seven different Remote
extenders in different locations to be connected to the same Local extender at the same time.

Getting Started
Connecting the Hardware
To connect the hardware:
1. Connect the KDS-USB2-EN - Local Extender- LEX to the computer.
2. Connect the LEX to the Switch.
3. Connect the Power to the REX (Remote Extender).
4. Connect the REX to the Switch.
5. Connect the computer to the Switch.
The hardware set up will look like the diagram below (for specific instructions on powering up
the system, review the User Manual for your extender model):

Identifying ExtremeUSB Devices on the Network
To identify ExtremeUSB devices on the network:
1. Type xusbnetcfg request_device_info 192.168.1.255
Returns all ExtremeUSB devices If using static IP where no DHCP server is enabled.
2. Type xusbnetcfg request_device_info 255.255.255.255
Returns all ExtremeUSB devices.
In the above case there two extenders:
•Device 1 –IP = 192.168.1.100 with Mac Address 00:1b:13:01:04:42
•Device 2 –IP = 192.168.1.102 with Mac Address 00:1b:13:01:04:43
At this stage there is no indication whether these ExtremeUSB devices are LEX or REX.

Identifying LEX and REX Extenders
To identify LEX and REX extenders:
•Type xusbnetcfg.exe request_extended_device_info <DEVICE IP>
EXAMPLE:
xusbnetcfg.exe request_extended_device_info 192.168.1.100
xusbnetcfg.exe request_extended_device_info 192.168.1.102
•Extender 1 –IP = 192.168.1.100 with Mac Address 00:1b:13:01:04:42 LEX
•Extender 2 –IP = 192.168.1.102 with Mac Address 00:1b:13:01:04:43 REX
Results indicate which ExtremeUSB device is LEX and which is REX.
It also shows that the LEX is paired to an extender with Mac address 00:1b:13:01:04:43 and
the REX is paired to an extender with Mac address 00:1b:13:01:04:42. (i.e. the LEX and REX
are paired to each other).

Getting Device Configuration
To get device configuration:
Type xusbnetcfg request_configuration_response_data <DEVICE IP>
EXAMPLE:
xusbnetcfg request_configuration_response_data 192.168.1.100
xusbnetcfg request_configuration_response_data 192.168.1.102
Device 1 –IP = 192.168.1.100 with Mac Address 00:1b:13:01:04:42 LEX High speed device
with static IP set. No special features are enabled.
For more information on advanced features like Device Class Filtering, Vendor/Brand lock,
etc. please contact your account manager
