Configuring the Hardware for Ethernet Control
To enable Ethernet control, both the computer and the PC1 must be configured correctly.
The PC must be network-capable with the proper protocols, and the PC1 must be set up
so it can be connected to a LAN (local area network). Please note that some settings can be
configured only via Internet protocol.
For your PC to communicate with the PC1 via Ethernet, it must be equipped with an
network interface card and an HTML browser. To allow your PC to work with Extron
Ethernet-controlled products, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed and properly
configured.
Setting Up and Configuring the PC1 Using ARP
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command provides a quick way to set up an IP
address for the PC1, using your PC. The ARP commands tell your computer to associate
the PC1 Media Access Control (MAC) address with an IP address that you assign.

Global Configurator (GC 3.3) software enables you to configure and control the PC1
as well as set up output device monitoring and scheduling (see the IPL T PC1 Setup
Guide, provided with your PC1, for information on setting up using GC 3.3).
Obtain a valid IP address for your PC1 from your network administrator.
Obtain the PC1 MAC address (UID#) from the small label on the PC1 rear panel (see
