Introduction, cont'd
Web-based A/V asset management — When used with GlobalViewer software,
the IPL T S interfaces provide a powerful, flexible way to manage, monitor, and
control projectors, flat-panel displays, and other devices using a standard Ethernet
network.
Integral, high performance Web server — Each IPL T S interface features a built-in
Web server with memory available for storing device drivers, GlobalViewer, and
development of your own Web pages using "off-the-shelf" Web authoring software.
Industry standard Ethernet protocols — All IPL T S models support industry
standard Ethernet communication protocols, including ARP, DHCP, ICMP, UDP/IP,
TCP/IP, Telnet, HTTP, and SMTP, accessed through an RJ-45 auto-sense
10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN connection.
Simultaneous multi-user support — Each IPL T S interface supports multiple
concurrent users, improving system throughput.
E-mail capabilities to enable support — With e-mail notification, technical support
administrators can receive failure and service messages through an e-mail enabled
cell phone, PDA, pager, or Internet e-mail account.
Multiple levels of access with password protection — User access level authorizes
limited entry to only pre-designated functions, while administrator access level
permits full access to advanced settings.
Configuration utility — Global Configurator software, a free, easy-to-use
Windows
no programming knowledge is required.
Extensive library of device drivers — Device drivers allow Extron products to
control various display and source devices, such as projectors, flat-panel displays,
and DVD players. Extron has produced thousands of fully tested and uniformly
modeled RS-232 and IR device drivers.
Direct port access — Use existing software programs to control a device that has
no Ethernet support. Any existing Extron product with a serial control port can be
interfaced with a LAN.
Built-in multi-level security — A user can control access to devices attached to the
interface. Two levels of password protection provide appropriate security.
Serial port connectivity — Provides serial ports on 9-pin D and/or 3.5 mm, captive
screw connectors.
Easy configuration and control — Easily control the interface in three ways:
• The Internet Explorer
• A Web-based interface
• DataViewer (or a standard Telnet client application)
The IPL T S series requires no centralized processor to operate within a system.
Multiple mounting options — Can be mounted under a desktop or podium, on a
projector mount, or on a rack shelf.
