Mount And Cable All Devices; Set Up The Control Processor, Expansion Interfaces, Touchpanels, And Network Button Panels For Network Communication - Extron electronics IP Link Pro xi IPL EXP PDU4H User Manual

…
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 Qxi or xi, NBP) LAN
IP address
…
AV LAN IP address (if using 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 xi 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
requirements and guidelines regarding SSL certificates).
…
For systems that will use IEEE 802.1X security, obtain a PEM‑encoded security certificate
and private key (see

Mount and Cable All Devices

…
Mount the unit to a rack or furniture (see
… Cable devices to the expansion interface (see

…
Connect power cords and power on all the devices.
Set Up the Control Processor, Expansion Interfaces, Touchpanels, and
Network Button Panels for Network Communication
…
Connect the PC that you will use for setup, the LAN port of the expansion interface,
the LAN (or AV LAN) port of the control processor, the LAN/PoE port of the expansion
interfaces, and the touchpanels or network button panels to the same Ethernet
network. For expansion interface LAN connections, see
and LEDs
… Either use SIS commands (see
Toolbelt and use it to set the IP address or addresses, subnet, gateway IP address,
DHCP status, and related settings (see the flowchart in
Setup
NOTE: The control processor supports fully qualified domain names. If required by
the network configuration, use a fully qualified domain name (
when setting up the control processor as a DHCP client or if using a hostname
instead of an IP address. For example:
At this point you can access the IPL EXP PDU4H embedded webpage and use controls
within it to turn the connected devices on or off.
Also, you can now use a terminal emulator (such as PuTTY) to connect to the
IPL EXP PDU4H and use SIS commands to configure or control the ports on the device.
