Network Port Requirements and Licensed Third-Party Software

Network administrators may find it useful to know which ports, protocols, and services are
used by the HCR 102 and by IP Link Pro control processors, TouchLink Pro Touchpanels,
Global Configurator software, Toolbelt, and Extron Control (for IP Link Pro control systems).
A list of protocols used for inbound and outbound communication for each type of device or
software is available in the Pro Series Control Product Network Ports and Licenses Guide,
part 68-2961-01, available at www.extron.com.
The HCR 102 uses various licensed third-party software packages during operation. To
view details about third-party packages and associated licensing, click the License
Information button in its internal web pages. A License Information window
opens. To view a copy of a listed package license, in the License Information
window, click the link in the License column for the relevant package. This opens a copy of
the package license in a separate window. A list of licenses is also available in the Pro Series
Control Product Network Ports and Licenses Guide.
