Step 11: Configure the System

Use Global Configurator (GC Plus or GC Professional) to configure the IPCP Pro control
processor, IPL Pro control processor, or HCR receiver. Alternatively, use Global Scripter
to program the IPCP Pro or IPL Pro control processor. That configuration sets the control
and monitoring behavior for all the AV devices and control accessories (such as the NBP
button panels) in the system. An outline of the main configuration and programming steps is
included in the user guide for the control device.
NOTE: See the Toolbelt Help File, Global Configurator Help File, and Global Scripter
When configuration or programming is completed, save the project or program script, then
build and upload the system configuration to the control processor or receiver.

Step 12: Test and Troubleshoot

1.
2.
Connect the NBP button panel and
the PC to be used for setup to the
same Ethernet subnetwork.
Start Toolbelt and use it to set DHCP
on or to set the IP address, subnet,
gateway IP address, DHCP status,
and related settings. Network setup is
essential prior to configuration.
Use the flowchart at right as a guide
to setting up the unit for network use.
NOTES:
If using a host name instead of
•
an IP address the user must
enter a qualified host name
(Username.
HostName.Domain).
For example:
somename.somedomain.
com.
If using 802.1X security, see
•
the Extron 802.1X Technology
Reference Guide and the
Toolbelt Help file for additional
details on system setup.
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.
Test the system (see the IPCP Pro Series User Guide, IPL Pro Series User Guide, or
HC 400 Series User Guide for an outline of the system testing and troubleshooting
procedure).
Make adjustments to wiring or configuration as needed.
