Page 9 Before You Begin What This Guide Covers This user guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install an Extron IPCP Pro Series IP Link Pro Control Processor. This guide provides detailed information and recommends best practices for cabling the control processor.
Page 10 NOTE: The IPCP Pro PCS1 is intended to be used with Extron Electronics products only. An IPCP Pro Series control processor is the centerpiece of a control system that features Extron TouchLink Pro Touchpanels, or Extron eBUS button panels connected to the eBUS port on the control processor. The IPCP supports multiple TouchLink Pro touchpanels over a standard Ethernet network.
