Obtaining Control Drivers

Extron provides an extensive selection of device drivers available on the Extron website.
Ethernet, serial, and infrared (IR) device drivers (for controlling projectors, displays, DVD
players, document cameras, and so forth) are available as individual device driver files. Prior
to configuration, download driver files for products to be used in the installation.
NOTE: For serial devices, IPCP Pro xi Series control processors and IPL EXP expansion
interfaces require IP Link Pro drivers. They do not support serial that were created for
IP Link (non-Pro) products. However, existing Extron IR driver files are supported.
If the system requires a driver that is not already available, you can request a new serial
(RS-232) or Ethernet driver from Extron.
