Kramer TP-185 [16/21] Software mode

Wiring the Twisted Pair RJ-45 Connectors

7.1.5.2 Software Mode

In Software mode, the TP-185 routes the data and reply based on the Protocol 2000

commands received from the PC or other device connected to any of the inputs.

The following example illustrates a typical command sequence. The destination and

return paths to and from the end-user device are set (TP-185 control commands),

then an end-user device command is sent to the defined destination. The TP-185

differentiates between the two types of commands and acts accordingly.

The sequence is as follows:

1. Set destination path for command

2. Set return path

3. Send end-user command sequence

Table 5 and Figure 9 define the TP pinout using a straight pin-to-pin cable with

RJ-45 connectors. When using STP cable, connect/solder the cable shield to the RJ-45

connector shield.
