Extron electronics IPCP Pro PCS1 xi Setup Manual

IPCP Pro PCS1 xi • Setup Guide
The Extron IPCP Pro PCS1 xi Power and Device Control Processor integrates Ethernet
connection into AV systems to allow users to remotely control and monitor AV
equipment, including display devices and switchers. The IPCP Pro PCS1 xi features a
controllable, 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, AC power outlet for remote power management of
a connected device. A 10 amp circuit breaker provides overcurrent protection.
The AC power button, located on the front panel, allows manual control of
the AC power output port. A front panel security lockout mode (executive
mode) can be used to disable the button if the unit is installed in an
unsecured environment where access is undesirable.
The IPCP Pro PCS1 xi includes an embedded web server, a bidirectional
serial port, an IR/serial port, digital I/O ports, and a LAN port for use in
applications that require control and monitoring of multiple devices within an AV system. It also includes an Extron eBUS
which allows a variety of eBUS devices to be connected to a single control processor. eBUS devices include an array of button
panels as well as power and signal hubs. eBUS devices are automatically recognized by the control processor and can be added
or removed at any time.
To discover and manage the IPCP and other Extron control products, use Extron Toolbelt
