information on IR Learning, see IR Learning in Chapter 4.
Flex I/O connection
The IPL T interfaces provide flexible I/O ports that can be
configured to three different operational modes: digital input,
digital output and analog input. These ports can interface with
devices such as relays, LEDs, and switches, and can also be
configured to receive analog voltages for use with photo sensors
and level feedback.
1.
Connect one end of a serial cable to the rear panel Flex I/O
port connectors of the interface unit.
2.
Connect the other end of the serial cable to the display or
switching devices to be controlled through the interface.
For information on configuring the Flex I/O ports, see
Establishing or changing system port settings in chapter 4.

Configuring the Hardware
To function together properly, both the controlling PC and the
IPL T interfaces must be configured correctly: the PC must be
network-capable, with the proper protocols installed and the
hardware configured correctly, and the interface must be set to
recognize and accept commands and pass them through to the
switcher, projector, or other controlled device.
PC configuration
This manual assumes that you have a Windows PC equipped
with an operating network adapter. To allow your PC to work
with Extron's Ethernet-controlled products, the TCP/IP protocol
must be installed and properly configured.
For use on an existing Ethernet LAN intranet, your network
administrator can provide you with a unique IP address or
confirm whether you need to set up the IPL T unit for DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration protocol) to have an address
assigned automatically when you sign on.
Initial start up
When you power on the IPL T interface for the first time, there
are two ways to set up the IP address:
1.
Use the ARP command method.
Use the direct PC method.
2.
The default Web pages that are pre-loaded on the IPL T interface
provide a way to reconfigure the IPL T unit once it has an active
network connection with IP access. These Web pages are
compatible with Netscape Navigator (version 6.0 or higher), or
Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher). See Communication
with the Interface in chapter 4 for information on accessing and
configuring the interface.
Once the interface has been reconfigured, an Ethernet (intranet
or Internet) connection can subsequently be used to contact or
control it. Refer to Ethernet connection in this chapter for
additional information.
IPL T interface configuration
Configuring the IPL T using the ARP command
You can make use of the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
command to set up an IP address for your IPL T interface. The
ARP command tells your computer to associate the IPL T unit's
MAC address with the assigned IP address. You must then use
ping to access the IPL T unit, at which point the device server's
IP address will be reconfigured.
