Step 5 — Configure Network Settings
Network setup is essential before you configure control settings. You can configure basic
network settings in one of the following ways (see
page 34):
•
Via front panel controls and the OSD menu — a quick method to use whether or
not you need to configure other settings (also see
page 53). This requires connection to a display device.
•
Via PCS software — a method that provides basic network configuration and is
convenient when you are ready to use PCS to configure AV settings. This requires a PC,
software, and a LAN or USB connection.
•
Via Toolbelt software — a method that allows you to configure additional connection
settings and is convenient when you want to configure additional device, password,
system, and control port settings. This requires a PC, software, and a LAN connection.
Step 6 — Configure AV Settings
The AV and scaling settings for the system can be configured via a host connection through
the LAN port or the USB port using Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS). You can
also configure the scaler settings in the receiver using the on-screen display (OSD) menu
system. See
AV Configuration Using PCS Software
Step 7 — Configure Control Settings
To use the COM, IR, or digital I/O ports on the receiver, you must configure them. HC 400
Series systems come with a basic configuration already installed, but you can modify
the configuration if needed. CEC control of the output device can be customized during
configuration with Global Configurator.
The basic steps are outlined below in the recommended order.
NOTES:
See the Toolbelt Help File, Global Configurator Help File, and GUI Designer Help
•
File as needed for step-by-step instructions and detailed information. The help
file for GC includes an introduction to the software and how to start a project and
configuration.
You must successfully complete Extron Control Professional Certification training to
•
obtain GC Professional.
1.
Using GC, create a new GC Pro or GC Plus project and configure the receiver and other
IP Link Pro devices. The configuration tells the receiver:
•
how its control ports function
•
how to control other products
•
which touchpanels or NBP button
panels to interact with
a.
Configure the control ports on the receiver.
•
•
•
b.
Set up monitors, schedules, macros, and local variables.
Using the OSD Menu System
Select device drivers and link them to each serial, IR, or Ethernet port.
Select settings (serial protocol or digital I/O settings) as needed.
Configure CEC controls, if desired.
