Programming and Control
The IPL T PCS4 can be remotely set up and controlled via a host computer or
other device (such as a switch, hub, or router) attached to the rear panel LAN
port.
The PCS4 must be configured before use. As shipped, the PCS4 works as a
standalone interface, but cannot control any other devices until it is configured.
The PCS4 can be set up and controlled by using the front panel (see chapter 3),
the Web pages (see chapter 4), or Extron's Simple Instruction Set
commands (discussed in this chapter). Both the Web pages and the SIS methods
are accessed via Ethernet LAN connection.
LAN port defaults:
• IPL T PCS4 IP address: 192.168.254.254
• Gateway IP address: 0.0.0.0
• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
• DHCP: Off
Host-to-interface Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters
are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the PCS4 determines that
a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host
device. All responses from the interface to the host end with a carriage return and
a line feed (CR/LF =
string is one or more characters.)
Messages initiated by the IPL T PCS4
When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the
PCS4 responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from
the host. The following PCS4-initiated messages are sent (underlined):

connected via Telnet or TCP/IP. Vx.xx is the firmware version number. The
current date and time are displayed. If you are using a Telnet connection, the

carriage return. The prompt is repeated if the correct password is not entered.

the passwords are the same for both administrator and user, the unit defaults to
administrator privileges.
Error responses
When the PCS4 receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and
sends a response to the host device. If the PCS4 is unable to execute the
command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, it
returns an error response to the host.
