Introduction This manual provides installation and operation instructions for the Extron MKP 2000. Input 13 C About the MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel The MKP 2000 is a network-ready remote control panel that can control any Extron matrix switcher. The MKP’s RS-232 ports allow it to communicate with other devices (another MKP or a matrix switcher) locally and its Ethernet port allows it to communicate with multiple devices.

Installation CAUTION Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. UL Listed electrical boxes are recommended. See UL Requirements for Wall Box Installation on the next page. UL Requirements for Wall Box Installation The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the MKP 2000 into a wall or furniture (figure 2-1). The MKP 2000 remote control panel should be installed in a standard, 2-gang electrical wall box (figure 2-1).
Installation, cont’d Preparing the site, installing the mud ring or wall box Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. You may need to install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the control panel. 5. If you are using a wall box, feed cables through the wall box punch-out holes, and secure them with cable clamps to provide strain relief. 6.
Installation, cont’d 7a. If you are using a mud ring, follow the directions, if any, that came with the mud ring to attach the clips that fasten the ring to the wall or furniture (figure 2-3). Wall Stud To meet the UL listing requirements, this device must be installed in a wall box.

Installation, cont’d 3. Mount the MKP’s faceplate to the mud ring or wall box with machine screws (figure 2-5). 1 LAN (Ethernet) port — If desired, connect a Category (CAT) 5e or higher (network) cable between this connector and either the matrix switcher to be controlled or to an Ethernet local area network (LAN). LAN See TP cable termination, on page 2-12, to properly wire the RJ-45 connector for your application.
Installation, cont’d Control connections The MKP has two RS-232 ports; a Host port ( port ( 2 ); and an Ethernet (LAN) port ( 3 ). ) and a Switcher 1 Any number of control panels can be connected, as part of a network, to any Ethernet-enabled matrix switcher via the switcher’s Ethernet port (figure 2-10). All TP cables in this example are wired as patch (straight) cables. An MKP control panel can be directly connected to any Extron matrix switcher through the switcher’s RS-232 port (figure 2-8).
Installation, cont’d TP cable termination It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length 328' (100 m). Patch (straight) cable Pin Side Clip Down 12345678 Pins RJ-45 connector Do not use standard telephone cables.
Installation, cont’d Power supply wiring MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel Figure 2-12 shows how to wire the connector. Smooth Ridges A 12 V GND A 0.2” (5 mm) SECTION A–A Power Supply Output Cord Direct Insertion Connector Figure 2-12 — Power connector wiring CAUTION Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the MKP. Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord (figure 2-12).
Local Operation The LED display shows the most recent input or output number entered on the numeric keys only. Ties created using other devices (other MKPs, a PC or control system, or the matrix switcher’s front panel) are not shown in the LED display. Front Panel Controls and Indications 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 BACK 0 CANCEL Front Panel Operations 7 1 INPUT OUTPUT Creating a tie 1. TAKE Press the Input button to specify that the next number entered is an input number. • The Input LED lights.
Local Operation, cont’d When an input or output outside the available range for this MKP or the connected matrix switcher is selected, the LED display shows N-A. Viewing the last input or output tied from the MKP Press either the Input button or the Output button. • The Input or Output LED lights. • The LED display shows the last tied input or output (depending on which LED, Input or Output, is lit). The LED display shows the most recent input or output number entered on the numeric keys only.
Local Operation, cont’d Simultaneously press and hold the buttons for 2 seconds. Release the buttons. INPUT OUTPUT The LED display shows the most-significant octet of the MKP 2000’s IP address. Press the Output button to cycle through the displayed and editable octets. TAKE OUTPUT INPUT MKP 2000’s IP Address OUTPUT OUTPUT OUTPUT Press the Input button to cycle through the displayed and editable addresses and to reach the MKP set-up settings.
Local Operation, cont’d Control panel security lockout (executive mode) The front panel security lockout limits the MKP’s front panel operation to input and output selection only (IP address modification is locked). Perform a soft reset of the MKP as follows: 1. To toggle the lock on and off, press and hold the 1, 3, Back, and Cancel buttons for approximately 3 seconds until the LED display shows the appropriate “LOC” (on or off) message (figure 3-3).
Local Operation, cont’d Performing a hard reset The hard reset function restores the MKP to the original factory default settings, including the default (factory) firmware configuration and the default IP settings. A hard reset performs all of the reset-whole-MKP functions, absolute reset functions, and erases all user-installed software or firmware.
SIS Operation RS-232 Links Ethernet Link The MKP’s rear panel 3-pole, 3.5 mm, Host RS-232 connector (figure 4-1) can be connected to the RS-232 serial port output of a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility, an RS-232 capable PDA, or a control system. This connection makes software control of the control panel possible. The rear panel Switcher connector can be connected to the Remote or RS-232 port of a matrix switcher.
SIS Operation, cont’d This message means that the switcher requires an administrator or user level password before it will perform the commands entered via this link. The switcher repeats the password message response for every entry other than a valid password until a valid password is entered. ASCII to HEX Conversion Table Space Login Administrator Login User The switcher initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user password has been entered.
