controlling up to 16 remote RS232 compliant devices from 50 feet
away. Using seamless RS232 switching, one PC can be used to
control up to 16 devices. The SM-RS232 is perfect for controlling
the functions of multiple RS232 devices such as TVs, A/V Routers,
Signage Players, DVRs, PCs, network hubs and many other devices.

• Uses standard CAT5/5e/6 cabling with compact RJ45 to DB9
adapters
• Network up to 16 RS-232 devices up to 50 feet away
• Can be controlled remotely with optional TCP/IP controller
• Supports multiple baud rates, parity, and character length
• 1U rack mountable enclosure
Applications
• Control multiple audio and video matrixes

Installation
1. Turn o all devices.
2. Connect an RS-232 cable from the console computer to the SM-RS232.
3. Connect up to 16 RS232 compliant devices to the SM-RS232 using CAT5/5e/6 cabling with
RJ45 to DB9 adapters (not included).
4. Connect the power cord to power-on the SM-RS232.
5. Power on the devices.
Control
1. First you will need to set up the terminal
application.

• Open Hyperterminal on the PC. (or use
the terminal client of your choice)
• Use the default settings to create a
connection to the device. Settings MUST
match those shown on the right.
• Be sure that Flow Control is None.
• The output of the device will be the same
as the PC.

2. To select a port for control, use **P[01-16]<space>
3. Once a port is selected, the connection will be transparent for sending commands to the
device.
Computers Servers
Displays
For example, if you want to manage a device on port 6, send **P06<space>.
At this point any commands you send will transparently go to the device on port 6.
If you are using a DVSW8 for example, you would select its port and then use the standard
control commands for it.
To select a port on the DVSW8 for display, use the standard “//M”command prompt.
To select the “IN 1” port, send “//M1 [ENTER]”
To select the “IN 2” port, send “//M2 [ENTER]” etc.
At any time you can switch ports on the SM-RS232 using the **P[01-16]<space> command.

The SMTCP-R (optional) is an RS-232
control module that allows the SM-RS232
to control most SmartAVI switching
matrixes to be controlled remotely via
HTTP or TELNET. Manage the switching
functions of your matrixes or other devices
with ease from anywhere in the world.
TELNET access provides transparent
command control of your matrix, perfect
for use with automated third-party control
software.
Applications
• Server Collocation
• Digital Signage
• Airports
• Dealer Rooms
• Control Rooms
• Audio/Visual Presentations
• Hotels/Resorts
• KVM Switches
Features
• Supports HTTP and TELNET control
• 10/100 Ethernet Interface
• Up to 10 user-denable congurations
• Password Protected
• Up to 5 Users can Control the Matrixes
• IP Conguration via TCP/IP and RS-232
• Flexible control of several types of matrixes

Connecting to the SMTCP-R for the rst time (with DHCP)
The rst time you connect the SMTCP-R, you will need to perform the following steps to set
the initial conguration. This includes establishing an HTTP connection and manually setting
the IP address for the SMTCP-R.
1. Power o all devices.
2. Use a female to male Straight-Through RS-232 (Serial) cable
to connect the SMTCP-R to the computer.
3. Use a CAT5 ethernet cable to connect the SMTCP-R to a TCP/
IP network via a network router or other network connection
that has DHCP enabled. If your network does not support DHCP,
please see page 11 of this manual for instructions.
4. Power on the computer and run a terminal program such as Hyperterminal to open a
serial connection to the SMTCP-R using the standard 9600 baud, 8, N, 1 conguration.
5. Power on the SMTCP-R. When powered on, it will obtain an IP address automatically via
DHCP from the network.
6. The IP information for the SMTCP-R will be displayed on the terminal screen as follows:
**************************
* SmartAVI control is UP *
* version 10.12.20#6 *
**************************
addr:192.168.1.102
Mask:255.255.255.0
gtwy:192.168.1.1
**************************
NOTE: the above IP address is for demonstration purposes only. Actual results may be dierent.
7. The IP address shown must be used to connect to the SMTCP-R via HTTP.

8. Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address
that is indicated. You will be prompted to enter a
username and password.
9. The default login (case sensitive) is as follows:
User ID: Admin
Password: Pass
10. Once connected to the SMTCP-R, you will see the following menu of options:
11. Once you have manually assigned an IP address to the
SMTCP-R, you may disconnect the Straight-Through RS-232
(Serial) cable from the computer
12. Connect the SMTCP-R to the SM-RS232 with a Cross RS-
232 (Serial) cable.
For the initial setup, click the Network Setting button and
manually assign an IP address to the SMTCP-R. This will assure
that the SMTCP-R will always
have the same IP address. Be
sure to choose an address that
will not conict with any other
devices on the network, and
that the address is not in the
range of the DHCP server.

Switches Menu
The switches menu allows you to select the output for each port on the SM-RS232.
For example, to activate input 5 on a switch that is
on port 1 of the SM-RS232, simply select port 5 on
switch 1.
Example shown in diagram:
Switch 1 is set for input 5.
Switch 2 is set for input 5.
Switch 3 is set for input 2.
Once you have completed the Initial Setup for the SMTCP-R, you can now begin conguring
it for your devices.
Using the SMTCP-R Web Interface
Device Cong Menu
The device conguration menu allows you to select the type of
matrix you are using, specify the dimensions of the matrix and
reset the system to factory defaults.
To begin, set the type of device you are using from the drop-down
menu labeled Device Type and specify the Matrix Dimensions.
After specifying the Matrix Dimensions, press the Submit button
to make the changes.
User Administration Menu
The User Administration menu allows you
to change the user name and password for
the SMTCP-R. The default user name for the
SMTCP-R is Admin and the password is Pass.
Once you modify the login information, press
the Submit button to make the changes.
