MLC 104 IP Plus Series • Setup Guide

The Extron MLC 104 IP Plus Series MediaLink®Controller integrates Ethernet connection into AV systems to allow users

to remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot AV equipment, including display devices and switchers. It includes an

embedded web server, serial ports, and configurable digital I/O ports for use in applications that require control and

monitoring of multiple devices within an AV system.

The MLC 104 IP Plus series of controllers are configured using the free Extron Global Configurator (GC) software. The

MLCs integrate seamlessly with Extron GlobalViewer®Enterprise (GVE) software and the free GlobalViewer web-based AV

resource management softwarefor remote control applications. Global Configurator and other useful software applications

are available at www.extron.com.

A checklist of basic setup steps is provided at the end of this guide. For additional information see the help files and the

MLC 104 IP Plus Series User Guide, available at www.extron.com.

the MLC and upload GC configuration files or firmware.

About Global Congurator (GC)

What It Does

Global Configurator is the software tool for setting up an MLC and the system it controls.

Global Configurator:

zLoads device drivers and uses commands from them for controlling other products

zCreates a single configuration file containing all the settings for the MLC and the products it interacts with in the AV system

zGenerates a graphical user interface called GlobalViewer that is uploaded to the MLC (a GlobalViewer host device)

along with the completed configuration and can be accessed as a web page

By using GlobalViewer, users can manage, monitor, and control Extron and third-party equipment such as projectors,

displays, computer monitors, Blu-ray™players, and DVD players.

What To Set Up in GC

Use GC software to create a configuration that tells the MLC how its ports will function; how to control other products;

what to monitor; when to do things; and whom to notify, how, when, and under what circumstances.

Conguration

1. Download and install the latest versions of the following:

zGlobal Configurator software — for setting up the MLC and creating a single system configuration file

zDevice driver package — for use with GC, to make control of other devices possible

All are available from www.extron.com or on the included Extron Software Products Disc.

2. Obtain IP address and subnet mask information for the MLC from the network administrator.

3. Cable devices to the MLC (see”Cabling and Features” in this guide), then power on all the devices.

4. Connect the MLC to a network, power it on, and use ARP (see “Network Configuration Using ARP“ below) to set the

IP address for the unit.

5. Using Global Configurator, create a project, configure the MLC and other IP Link devices, and upload the configuration

to the MLC.

6. Launch the GlobalViewer interface and test the configuration and the system.

NOTE: Additional information and step-by-step instructions on conﬁguration tasks are available in the Global Conﬁgurator

Help file. The Global Conﬁgurator Help ﬁle includes an introduction to the software and how to start a GC project.

Resources

Obtaining Control Drivers

Extron provides an extensive selection of device drivers in the driver

package available on the Extron website. If the system requires a control

driver that is not part of the driver package, you have additional options:

zRequest a new serial (RS-232) driver from Extron.

zCreate your own custom IR device driver using Extron IR Learner

software. Follow the directions in the IR Learner Help file to create a

driver by using the remote control for that device and the IR receiver

port on the front panel of the MLC.

Instructions, Information, and

Assistance

For additional information see the help

files and the MLC 104 IP Plus Series User

Guide, available at www.extron.com.

If you have questions during installation

and setup, call the Extron S3 Sales &

Technical Support Hotline or the Extron

S3 Control Systems Support Hotline.

Conguring for Network Communication

Network Conguration Options

When you power on the MLC for the first time, you have a choice of several ways to set up the IP address:

zUse the ARP (address resolution protocol) command — See the instructions below.

zUse a Web browser — See the MLC 104 IP Plus Series User Guide.

zUse the Global Configurator software — See the Global Configurator Help file.

zUse SIS commands via Telnet — See the MLC 104 IP Plus Series User Guide.

Network Conguration Using ARP

Use ARP to configure the IP address as follows:

1. Obtain a valid IP address for the MLC from the network administrator.

2. Obtain the MAC address of the MLC from the label on its rear panel. The MAC address should have this format:

00-05-A6-xx-xx-xx.

3. Connect the PC and the MLC to the same subnetwork.

4. At the PC, access the command prompt, then enter

the arp –s command. Type in the desired new

IP address for the unit and the MAC address of the

unit (listed on the rear panel of the MLC). For

example:

arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0

5. Execute a ping command by entering “ping”

followed by a space and the new IP address at the

command prompt. For example:

ping 10.13.197.7

The response should show the new IP address, as

shown in the figure at right.
