NOTE: Figure 4 shows an FPC 5600 connected directly to a FOX Matrix 320x via
a cross-over cable. The FPC 5600 can be connected to the matrix system via an
Ethernet cable as well.
Extron FPC 5600 • Introduction 5
The FOX Matrix 320x includes:
• A modular design featuring 20 board slots. Each slot accepts a either a FOX Matrix I/O
1616 fiber optic board in Singlemode or Multimode, or a FOX Matrix I/O 1616 HD-SDI
board.
• The FOX Matrix 320x can be configured with all or some of the board slots occupied.
The I/O boards are hot-swappable and may be added at any time in the field.
• Accommodation for any combination of Singlemode or Multimode I/O boards.
• The front panel controller interfaces with the FOX Matrix 320x system via the Ethernet
port, either directly or as part of an Ethernet local area network (LAN).
Definitions of Matrix Switcher Terms
The following terms apply to Extron matrix switchers and are used throughout this manual:
• Tie — An input-to-output connection.
• Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to
more than one input).
• Configuration — One tie or one or more sets of ties.
• Current configuration — The configuration that is currently being used (also called
Configuration 0).
• Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. The matrix system
can support up to 64 global presets. When a global preset is retrieved from memory, it
becomes the current configuration.
• Room — A room consists of a smaller subset of virtual outputs that are logically related
to each other, as determined by the operator. The Matrix 12800, FOX Matrix 14400, and
FOX Matrix 320x support up to 32 rooms, each of which consists of from 1 to 16 virtual
outputs. Each room can have up to 10 presets.
• Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of virtual outputs in a single room
that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the
current configuration.
• BME 0 — The BME that has been configured as master in a multiple-BME Matrix
12800 system.
• SFP — Small form-factor pluggable. The SFP is an interface used in fiber optic
connections for direct signal connections or packet switched networks.

Installation Overview
The FPC 5600 assembly consists of the FPC computer, external power supply, and a rack-
mountable, 7U high, 19 inch wide metal panel.
As part of a complete Matrix 12800, Fox Matrix 14400, or FOX Matrix 320x system, the
FPC 5600 can be installed in a rack or a cabinet with the rest of the system. The controller
is connected to the Ethernet port of the matrix. In a Matrix 12800 system with more than
one switching BME, the FPC must be connected to the BME that is designated as BME 0
in the system (see your Matrix 12800 manual for more information). If the BMEs are rack- or
cabinet-mounted, they can be mounted in any order.
Plan carefully before installing the equipment in a room. Poor planning can cause problems.
The number of cables involved can result in a cluttered appearance. Power and ventilation
requirements must be adequate. Although not noisy, the background noise generated by a
rack of matrix switchers could be distracting.
To install and set up the FPC 5600 for operation with a matrix system, perform the following
steps:
1. Disconnect power from all of the matrix units.
2. Secure the FPC computer to the FPC mounting panel (see Unpacking and
Assembling the Front Panel Controller on page 7).
3. Rack mount the front panel controller (see Rack Mounting the FPC Assembly on
page 7).
4. Connect an Ethernet cable from the FPC to the Ethernet port of the matrix system
(BME 0 on a Matrix 12800 system), or to the Ethernet LAN on which the matrix system
resides.
5. Connect the AC power cable to the FPC and to the power supply.
6. Connect the power supply cable to a power source.
7. If not already accomplished, complete the installation and virtualization of the rest of the
matrix system (see your matrix manual).
8. Turn on the FPC 5600 and observe the startup display of the FPC computer.
Extron FPC 5600 • FPC Installation and Operation 7
Unpacking and Assembling the Front Panel Controller
The FPC 5600 is shipped fully assembled and ready to be mounted on a rack. Six mounting
blocks and screws secure the FPC computer to its rack-mountable metal frame (see
figure 5).
Mounting Blocks (6)
Figure 5. FPC 5600 Rear View with Pre-installed Mounting Blocks
Rack Mounting the FPC Assembly
The appropriate rack mounting hardware is included with the controller. Rack mount the
controller as follows:
1. Insert the controller assembly into the rack, align the holes in the mounting panel with
those of the rack.
2. Secure the controller assembly to the rack using the supplied machine screws.

Bottom Panel Connections
All connectors are on the bottom of the FPC 5600 (see figure 6).
NOTE: The only actively used connection when connected to a matrix is the Ethernet
connection.

NOTE: The FPC 5600 ships with a 10-foot crossover Category 5e cable.
Extron FPC 5600 • FPC Installation and Operation 9
For direct connection to the Ethernet port — Plug the RJ-45 connector on the
opposite end of the Category 5e or higher cable directly into Ethernet port (BME 0
on a Matrix 12800 system) (see figure 8). Wire the Category 5e or higher cable as a
crossover cable (see Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring on page 10).

Cabling and RJ-45 Connector Wiring
It is vital that your cable between the FPC 5600 and the matrix (BME 0 on a Matrix 12800
system) or LAN be the correct cable, and that it be properly terminated with the correct
pinout. This FPC link requires Category 5e or 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded
twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. The cable length is limited to
328 feet (100m).
NOTE: Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will not support the
FPC-Matrix link. Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The cable must be properly terminated for your application (see figure 10):
Crossover cable — Direct connection between the FPC Ethernet port 2 and matrix (BME
0 on a Matrix 12800 system).
Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the FPC Ethernet port 2 to an Ethernet LAN that
also hosts the matrix (BME 0 on a Matrix 12800 system).

Matrix System Operation Overview
This section details operation of a matrix system using an FPC 5600 front panel controller.
This section assumes that the matrix is properly installed, virtualized (for Matrix 12800
systems), and operating correctly.
The FPC 5600 software runs in an FPC computer that communicates with the matrix
switcher via a Category 5e or higher cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors, between the
FPC Net port and either the Ethernet port on the matrix (BME 0 on a
Matrix 12800 systems) or an Ethernet LAN on which the matrix also resides.
Control of the matrix switcher via the FPC can be password protected. There are two levels
of password protection: administrator and user. Personnel logged on as an administrator
have full access to all matrix switching capabilities and editing functions. Personnel logged
on as a user can create ties, recall presets, set video and audio mutes, and view all settings
with the exception of passwords. If the same passwords or no password is required for
logging on, all personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and functions that
exceed user privileges are inaccessible to users from the FPC.
NOTES:
• The following instructions and figures are identical for all FPC 5600 compatible
matrix systems (Matrix 12800, FOX Matrix 14400, and FOX Matrix 320x),
except where noted.
• Virtual Inputs and Virtual Outputs are applicable to Matrix 12800 systems only.
Extron FPC 5600 • Matrix System Operation 13
Operating the Touch Panel
Several of the FPC front panel operations require data entry, input and output selection, or
both. These operations are performed using an on-screen keyboard, on-screen keypads, or
on-screen scroll boxes.
Using the Keyboards
When you take a step that requires entering alphanumeric characters, an on-screen
keyboard appears (see figure 12).
Figure 12. Typical On-screen Keyboard
Clear the field in which you need to enter data by touching the Clear Field key or
by repeatedly touching the Backspace key.
Touch the correct characters on the keyboard just as you would on a physical keyboard.
The Insert ESC and Insert CR keys are only used when editing
Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands while programming User Function keys (see
Function Keys Screen on page 43). The keyboard does not display these keys for other
functions.
To enter capital letters or the alternate characters on the numeric keys, touch the Shift
key or Caps Lock key . Either key locks the keyboard to capitals only, just like
the Caps Lock key on a physical keyboard. Touch the desired letter or number keys and
then touch the Caps Lock key again to return to lower case.
To enter the typed in characters and dismiss the on-screen keyboard, touch the
Enter key.
To dismiss the on-screen keyboard without entering the typed in characters, touch the
Cancel key.

Using the Keypads
An on-screen keypad (see figure 13) is integrated into the I/O screens. A similar keypad is
available from the TCP/IP screen and appears when you take a step that requires entering
numeric characters.
I/O Keypad TCP/IP Keypad
Figure 13. I/O and TCP/IP On-screen Keypads
For the I/O keypad, touch the Clear button on the keypad, if present, to clear the
keypad display.
Touch the digit keys (such as and then for input or output 65).
For the I/O keypad, the keypad field displays the entered digits.
For the I/O keypad, the All key appears on the output keypad only on the Make
Ties screen.
For the TCP/IP keypad, touching the Delete
key clears the digits from right to left,
touching the Enter
key enters the typed in characters and clears the keypad screen,
and touching the Cancel key clears the keyboard screen without entering the typed
in characters.
Using On-Screen Scroll Boxes
As an alternative to entering numbers on an on-screen keypad, you can frequently select an
entry from an on-screen scroll box (see figure 14).
Figure 14. On-Screen Scroll Box
To activate a scroll box:
1. Touch a scroll down button ( ). A drop down scroll box appears.
2. Touch and drag on the slider or touch the scroll up ( ) or scroll down ( ) buttons until
the desired output is visible.
3. Touch the desired output. The keypad field displays the selected output.
