The system supports multiple TouchLink Pro touchpanels and NBP button panels over
a standard Ethernet network. The touchpanels and button panels provide a convenient
interface for controlling the IPCP, which, in turn, controls the other system components.
Another option is to use a third‑party device such as a touchpanel or tablet in conjunction
with Extron LinkLicense.
NOTE: GUI Designer software is used to design the user interface layout of any Extron
TouchLink Pro touchpanel or third‑party touch interface that is used with the IPCP.
Use the Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage the IPL EXP expansion interfaces,
the IPCP Pro xi control processor, and other Extron control products. Configure the
expansion interfaces and control processor using GC Professional or GC Plus, or program
it using Global Scripter (GS). Once you have set up how you want it to work (set up
IP addresses and functions, assigned drivers to ports, configured relays and digital input or
output), that information is saved to a project configuration file that is built and uploaded into
the IPCP and to any optional TouchLink Pro touchpanels.
The system integrates seamlessly with Extron GlobalViewer Enterprise software and Extron
Control for Web, iOS, and Android for remote control applications.
Features
General features
Ability to remotely power devices on and off — The switched power output ports
•
can be controlled remotely using SIS commands over SSH, by configured touchpanels,
via controls in the embedded webpage, or via controls in Global Configurator.
Circuit breaker — Provides overcurrent protection for the unit.
•
•
Surge protection — Single‑stage surge protection using multiple MOVs protects
connected products from power surges of up to 1750 joules (10/1000 µs).
•
Power level monitoring — Total power consumption is continuously monitored, and
alerts can be configured or programmed to notify a user of high power consumption or of
ports that have been shut off if the circuit breaker is tripped.
•
Ability to use a local alert device (connected to the relay output) — This relay
on the rear panel can be connected to a relay‑controllable audio device or other alert
device, and can be configured or programmed to react at specified power levels. The
relay can be configured to be either normally open or normally closed, which activates
the attached alarm device when power drops or increases beyond a specified amount.
E‑mail messages can be generated based on relay conditions.
•
Easy to mount — The IPL EXP PDU4H is a half rack wide, 1U high device that is easily
mounted to a rack or furniture or set on a desktop.
•
Universal power system compatibility — The unit accepts 120 or 240 VAC, 50‑60 Hz
power input and uses standard IEC connectors for both input and output AC power
ports.
Network and configuration features
•
Global compatibility — The expansion interface uses industry standard Ethernet
communication protocols, including DHCP, DNS, HTTP (redirect), HTTPS, ICMP,
IEEE 802.1X, NTP, SFTP, SMTP, SNMP, SSH, TCP/IP, and UDP/IP.
•
Multi-level password protection — This allows security to be set based on user roles.
Embedded web pages — The IPL EXP embedded web pages include online
•
diagnostics and monitoring of basic features, power output controls, and indicators or
various factors such as power consumption level.
If the unit is configured to work with Extron Control, you can access the virtual user
interfaces from a link in the embedded web page.
