Step 1: Get Ready

Preparation Checklist

Use the following checklist to prepare for the installation.

Accessibility and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance

When planning where to install the NBP, consider factors affecting accessibility of the
controller such as height from the floor, distance from obstructions, and how far a user
must reach to press the buttons. For guidelines, see sections 307 ("Protruding Objects")
and 308 ("Reach Ranges") of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design available at
http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2010ADAStandards/2010ADAStandards.pdf.
Network Button Panels • Hardware Features and Installation — Wall-mountable Models
Familiarize yourself with the features of the button panel (see
(All Models) and NBP 1200C Bottom Panel Features
Side Panel Features and Cabling (Decorator-style and US Gang Models)
page 16, and Bottom Panel Features and Cabling (NBP 1200C)
Download and install the latest version of the software, firmware, and device drivers
needed to discover, configure, or program the control processor or HCR receiver (or
other Extron collaboration system control product) to interact with the NBPs and control
the connected AV products. See the IPCP Pro Series User Guide, IPL Pro Series User
Guide, or HC 400 Series User Guide (avail able from www.extron.com) for details on
software and drivers.
Obtain network information for the unit from the network administrator. You need the
following details for each IP Link Pro device, including the IPCP Pro, IPL Pro, HCR 102
(or other collaboration system receiver), and each NBP:
• DHCP setting (on or off)
• Device (NBP) IP address
NOTE: If DHCP is on, you do not need the IP addresses and subnet mask.
Write down the MAC address of each IP Link Pro device (such as the NBP) to be used.
Obtain model names and setup information for the AV devices to be controlled in the
system.
Each NBP button panel 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
guidelines regarding SSL certificates.
For systems that will use IEEE 802.1X security, obtain a PEM-encoded security
certificate and private key (see
