IPL Pro Series • Setup Guide

The Extron IPL Pro Series IP Link®Pro Control Processors integrate Ethernet connection into AV systems to allow users to

remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot AV equipment, including display

devices and switchers. These control processors include an

embedded web server and support for

power over Ethernet (PoE). Depending on

the model, an IPLPro control processor can

include multiple bidirectional serial ports

for use in applications that require control

and monitoring of multiple devices within a

large-scale AV system.

This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install an IPLPro Series control processor and to create a

basic configuration. Configure the control processor using Extron Global Configurator software running in Global Configurator

Professional (GCProfessional) or Global Configurator Plus (GC Plus) mode. The IPL integrates seamlessly with Extron

GlobalViewer®Enterprise (GVE) software and the GlobalViewer web-based AV resource management for remote control

applications. These control processors support multiple TouchLink®Pro touchpanel interfaces over a standard Ethernet network.

Global Configurator and other useful software applications are available at www.extron.com.

Setup Checklist: How to Proceed With Installation

Get Ready

Familiarize yourself with the features of the control processor (see Front Panel Features on page3 and Rear Panel

Features on page3) and of any TouchLinkPro touchpanels that will be part of the system.

Download and install the latest version of the following:

• Global Configurator (GC) software — for setting up and configuring the control processor. GCProfessional and

GCPlus modes include the Toolbelt feature and a way to upgrade the firmware of the control processor if the need

arises.

• IPLinkPro device drivers — for use with GC, to make control of other devices possible

• GUI Designer software — for designing layouts for Extron TouchLinkPro touchpanels and third party touch interfaces

All are available from www.extron.com (see Locating Software, Firmware, and Driver Files on the Extron Website on

page6).

Obtain network information for the unit from the network administrator. You will need the following details for each IPLinkPro

device:

DHCP setting (on or off) Subnet mask User name

Device (IPCP Pro, TouchlinkPro, IPLPro) IP address Gateway IP address Passwords

Write down the MAC addresses of each IPLinkPro device to be used.

Obtain model names and setup information for devices the IPL will control.

Mount and Cable All Devices

Mount the unit to a rack or furniture (see Mounting on page3).

Cable devices to the control processor (see Cabling and Features on page 4).

Connect power cords and power on all the devices.

About Global Conﬁgurator (with GC Professional and GC Plus Modes)

What The Software Does

Global Configurator is the software tool for network setup and configuration of an IPLPro control processor. Global Configurator:

• Loads device drivers for monitoring the status of and controlling devices within the AV system.

• Uploads GUIDesigner layouts to touchpanels and third party touch interfaces.

• Creates the configuration containing all the settings for the control processor and the products with which it interacts in the

AV system.

• Generates a graphical user interface called GlobalViewer that is uploaded to the IPL (a GlobalViewer host device) along with

the completed configuration and can be accessed as a web page.

Using GlobalViewer, users can monitor and control Extron and third-party equipment such as projectors, displays, computer

monitors, VCRs, and DVD players.

Resources

Obtaining Control Drivers

Extron provides an extensive selection of device drivers available on the

Extron website. If the system requires a control driver that is not already

available, you have additional options:

• Request a new serial (RS-232) or Ethernet driver from Extron.

Obtaining Instructions, Information,

and Assistance

A checklist of basic setup steps is provided at the

beginning of this guide. For additional information

see the help files and the IPLProSeries User

Guide, available at www.extron.com.
