1. Introduction

1.1 Introduction to SDCP6

The Wallplate Control Panel has (3) built-in programmable RS232 connectors and (2) Infrared (IR) connectors.

The Programmable Control Panel can fully control the compatible switches, as well as third-party devices such as matrix switcher, compact scaler switcher, projectors, screens, etc. Use the device for presentations in showrooms, classrooms, and boardrooms.

1.2 Features

☆ Each button can be programmed to send bi-directional RS232 commands simultaneously to control third party devices.
☆ Each button can be programmed to send the infrared codes simultaneously to control the third-party devices and support infrared code learning function.
☆ The unit may be programmed through the ETHERNET port, via the Control Software.
☆ Crystal and backlit buttons with easy user-friendly customizable changeable labels.
☆ The backlit brightness is controllable.

4. Control Panel Software

4.1 Basic Setting

You can use Control Panel Software to easily set functions for every button.

① Connect the control PC to the ETHERNET port.
② The default IP of SDCP6 is 192.168.0.178 (modifiable), the control PC should be set its network segment to the same as the SDCP6's.

Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties General You can get IP settings assigned automatically if your network supports this capability. Otherwise, you need to ask your network administrator for the appropriate IP settings. Obtain an IP address automatically Use the following IP address: IP address: 192 . 168 . 0 . 227 Subnet mask: 255 . 255 . 255 . 0 Default gateway: 192 . 168 . 0 . 1 Obtain DNS server address automatically Use the following DNS server addresses: Preferred DNS server: 202 . 95 . 134 . 133 Alternate DNS server: 202 . 95 . 128 . 68 Validate settings upon exit Advanced... OK Cancel Same network segment as the switcher

4.4.4 Delay setting

This item is to add a delay between two events; so when one event is finished, it will delay a certain time then start next event. The delay setting is as picture below:

Event Set RS232 IR TCP/IP Delay Compare LED Toggle RS232 IR TCP/IP Delay Compare(LED Toggle Hour: 1 Minute: 11 Second: 18 Reset Hour: 0~24; Minute: 0~60 Second: 0~60

4.4.5 Compare Setting

This item is used to compare the feedback of RS232 commands. When SDCP6 sends an RS232 command to the controlled device, the device will send back a feedback. If we add the correct feedback in the data, SDCP6 will compare it with the feedback received from controlled device, to verify the command is working or not. The compare setting is as the picture below:

Event Set RS232 IR TCP/IP Delay Compare LED Toggle Port: Port1 Format ASCII HEX End Char for ASCII NULL Data: Clear Add Enter the compare commands, please don't miss any character.

Operation procedure:

① Select the button action in action list.
② Select the RS232 port. The port must be same as model setting, otherwise the event cannot be added.
③ Set the command format ASCII or Hex, and then set the terminator for ASCII.
④ Enter the RS232 command needed to be compared in data box, and then press "add" to save setting.
⑤ Add an event that the LED lights up to indicate the comparative result.
⑥ For the events in one event list have priority, from top to bottom, so that the compare function can be used in action which with three or more events.

4.4.6 LED setting

This item is used for setting the button LEDs in SDCP6 to turn on/off. The setting is as below:

Event Set

RS232 IR TCP/IP Delay Compare LED Toggle

RS232 IR TCP/IP Delay Compare LED Toggle Key: Key1 Light Action: On

On: Turn on the LED of button 1;

Off: Turn off the LED of button 1;

On/Other Off: Turn on the LED of button 1, and turn off others.

On/Group Off: Turn on the LED of button 1, and turn off others in same group.

4.4.7 Toggle Setting

The key type can be set as "Toggle", in this type, the button can be regarded as a composite key. Here is an example to show you the use of this function:

Operation procedure:

① Take Key 1 for example, click "1" and select the action type "Toggle".

Action List Clear All Key Type Data 1 Key1 Toggle

② Add toggle & RS232 events for the Key 1.
