IPL EXP I/O Series • Setup Guide
The Extron IPL EXP I/O Series control system expansion interfaces make it possible to easily expand the number and variety
of ports available in an Extron IP Link
Series control processors. Once configured, these systems allow users to remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot AV
equipment, including display devices and switchers. All models include an embedded web server. Depending on the model, an
expansion interface can include multiple
bidirectional serial ports, an IR/serial port,
digital I/O, digital I/O with VDC power output,
an Extron eBUS port, or relay ports for use
in applications that require control and
monitoring of multiple devices within a large-
scale AV system.
An eBUS port allows a variety of eBUS
devices to be connected to a single control processor or expansion interface. eBUS devices include an array of button panels as
well as power and signal hubs. eBUS devices are automatically recognized by the control system and can be added or removed
at any time.
In this guide these products are referred to as the "IPL EXP," "EXP," or "expansion interface."
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install a control processor and to create a basic configuration.
Use Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage the IPCP Pro xi control processor, the IPL EXP I/O expansion interfaces,
and other Extron control products. Configure the control system using Extron Global Configurator
Configurator Professional (GC Professional) or Global Configurator Plus (GC Plus) mode, or program the control processor using
Extron Global Scripter
(GS). The control system integrates seamlessly with Extron GlobalViewer
®
and Extron Control apps for remote control applications. Each IPCP Pro xi control processor supports multiple TouchLink
touchpanel interfaces, Network Button Panels (NBPs), and IPL EXP expansion interfaces over a standard Ethernet network.
Global Configurator and other useful software applications are available at www.extron.com.
Setup Checklist: How to Proceed With Installation
Get Ready
…
Familiarize yourself with the features of the IPL EXP Expansion Iinterface (see
Panel Features
on page 6), and of any IPCP Pro xi Series control processors, TouchLink Pro touchpanels, or button
panels that will be part of the system.
…
Download and install the latest version of the following:
•
Toolbelt software — for discovering the control processor, expansion interface, and other control products on the
network, for managing core settings, and for upgrading firmware when needed
•
Global Configurator (GC) software — for configuring the control system
•
Global Scripter software — for programming the system (as an alternative to GC)
•
GUI Designer software — for designing layouts for Extron TouchLink Pro touchpanels and third-party touch interfaces
•
IP Link Pro device drivers — for use with GC, to make control of other AV devices possible
All are avail able from
…
Obtain network information for the unit from the network administrator. You also need the following details for each
Extron Pro series Ethernet-enabled device:
…
DHCP setting (on or off)
…
Device (IPL EXP, TLP Pro, IPCP Pro or IPL Pro, NBP) LAN IP address
…
AV LAN IP address (for IPCP Pro Q xi models)
NOTE:
If DHCP is on, you do not need the IP addresses and subnet mask.
…
Write down the MAC address of each network interface on each IP Link Pro device to be used.
…
Obtain model names and setup information for devices the system will control.
…
Each expansion interface and each control processor comes with a factory-installed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security
certificate. If you intend to install a different SSL certificate, contact your IT department to obtain the certificate or for
instructions on how to obtain one. See "Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates" in the IPL EXP I/O Series User Guide for
requirements and guidelines regarding SSL certificates. IEEE 802.1X authentication is also supported once enabled (see
"IEEE 802.1X Certificates" in the IPL EXP I/O Series User Guide for details).
