Network Button Panel — Decorator-Style Series •
Setup Guide
Overview
The Extron NBP Network Button Panels are fully customizable AV system control interfaces for use with Extron control processors
(IPCP Pro, IPCP Pro Q xi, IPCP Pro xi,or IPL Pro Series and collaboration system products). The NBPs in this guide fit a standard
US one-gang electrical junction box or mud ring. They have one-gang decorator-style wallplates (one white, one black for each
NBP), front panel bezels (white and black), and a one-gang mud ring. Each NBP button panel has a single LAN port, which
supports both power and communications between the control processor and button panels.
Use Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage NBP button panels and assign each one a unique IP address. Then
use Extron Global Configurator
Deployment Utility to configure the control system, including the buttons on NBPs. Once configured, the AV system can be
controlled from any of the NBPs.
This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced installer to install an NBP 105 D, NBP 106 D, NBP 108 D, NBP 110 D,
NBP VC1 D, or NBP VC2 D button panel. For more details on the NBPs, see the Network Button Panels User Guide, available on
www.extron.com. For details on configuration, see the software help files.
