Features
General features
Flexible options for device control — Depending on the model, each IPL EXP offers a variety of control ports
for RS-232, infrared/serial (IR/S) control, TCP/Ethernet control and monitoring, relays, and either digital I/O (digital
input or digital output) or digital I/O with DC power output.
Mounting options
•
All IPL EXP models are housed in a 1U high, quarter rack width enclosure which is easily rack mounted or
can be installed in or under furniture with an optional mounting kit.
•
All models other than the IPL EXP RIO8 mount to the included ZipClip 200 mounting bracket, which makes it
easy to mount the units to rack rails and furniture.
Universal power system compatibility
•
The IPL EXP RIO8 requires a PoE+ power source, as it provides 12 VDC and 24 VDC output ports that are
used in conjunction with the digital I/O ports.
•
All other models accept PoE or PoE+ input on the LAN/PoE port.
Network and configuration features
•
Global compatibility — The expansion interface uses industry standard Ethernet communication protocols,
including DHCP, DNS, HTTP (redirect), HTTPS, ICMP, IEEE 802.1X, NTP, SFTP, SMTP, SNMP, SSH, TCP/IP,
and UDP/IP.
•
Multi-level password protection — This allows security to be set based on user roles.

basic features.
If the unit is configured to work with Extron Control, you can access the virtual user interfaces from a link in
the embedded web page.

•
and schedule various functions of devices in the system.

Additional security features — Each expansion interface and control processor can use the included
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate or a user-supplied, customized security certificate (see
Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates
devices once enabled. For details see
