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):

Setting up the Software

To set up the software:

1. Extract the zip file in the directory that you wish to execute the commands.

Once extracted, you will find a directory called Xusbnetcfg commands.

2. Go into the Xusbnetcfg commands directory

The following files are listed:

3. SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK then select Open command window here.

A window will open in the current directory.

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.
