Contact Closure Input and Relay Connections
Contact closure input connections
The IPL T CR48 can be connected to any relay providing a closure to ground
(closed = logic 1 and open = logic 0). The contact closure inputs are connected to 5 VDC
via a 1k ohm pull-up resistor and must be wired with a ground. This allows the input to be
tied to devices such as motion detectors and alarms. You can define what this input triggers
via control software.

Relay connections
The IPL T CR48 can be connected to any device that can be activated by a relay closure.
This allows the relay to be tied to devices such as lights (preset recall), projector lifts, and
screen or drape controllers. You can define what triggers this action via control software.

Configuring the Hardware
To function together properly, both the controlling PC and the IPL T CR48 must be
configured correctly. The PC must be network-capable, with the proper protocols installed
and the hardware configured correctly. The IPL T CR48 must be set to recognize and
accept commands and pass them through to the projector lift, screen lift, or other controlled
device.
PC Configuration
This guide assumes that you have a Microsoft
network adapter. To allow your PC to work with Extron Ethernet-controlled products, the
TCP/IP protocol must be installed and properly configured.
For use on an existing Ethernet LAN intranet, your network administrator can provide you
with a unique IP address or confirm whether you need to set up the IPL T CR48 for DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to have an address assigned automatically when you
sign on.
Initial start up
When you power on the IPL T CR48 for the first time, there are two ways to set up the
IP address:
•
•
The default web pages that are preloaded on the IPL T CR48 provide a way to reconfigure
the unit once it has an active network connection with IP access. These web pages are
compatible with Internet Explorer
Interface
Once the unit has been reconfigured, an Ethernet (intranet or Internet) connection can
subsequently be used to contact or control it (see
additional information).
Connect one end of the input cable to a 3.5 millimeter, 5-pole captive screw connector,
wired appropriately, and plug it into the rear panel input port connector of the unit.
Connect the other end of the input cable to the input relay device that will provide a
triggering signal.
Connect one end of the relay cable to an 8-pole captive screw connector, wired
appropriately, and plug it into the rear panel relay port connector of the unit.
Connect the other end of the relay cable to the device that will be activated when the
triggering signal is received.
Use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command method.
Use the direct PC method.
