Page 30
Initial Configuration The IPI 100 Series units must be connected to a MLC 226 IP MediaLink controller with a valid IP address. See the MLC 226 IP User’s Manual for information about configuring the MLC controller’s IP address. The IPI 200 Series units have a factory default IP address of 192.168.254.254. This IP address must be changed to an address that will operate on your local network.
Setting the IP address using Global Configurator The preferred method for setting a unit’s IP address is to use Extron’s Global Configurator (GC) application. If you have Global Configurator installed on a local PC, and have a GC project file open, proceed with the steps below. If you do not have Global Configurator installed, it is available as a free download from www.extron.com.
Initial Configuration, cont’d Setting the IP address using embedded Web pages Each IPI 200 Series intercom unit contains an on‑board Web server with interactive pages that can be used to configure the device. The intercom unit must be at its factory default IP address. To set an IP address via embedded Web pages: Connect an Ethernet crossover cable between the device and a local PC.

Change the IP Address and Subnet Mask fields to the desired IP address and subnet mask. Click the Submit button. The new IP address and subnet mask are assigned to the device, and the Web browser connection is immediately lost. The device, with its new IP address and subnet mask is now ready to be connected to your A/V network.
Initial Configuration, cont’d Setting the IP address using the ARP command An IPI 200 Series unit’s IP address can be set using the DOS Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command. The IPI 200 Series unit must be: • physically connected to the network •...

Starting the Program Click the desktop icon (or use Windows Explorer or the Start menu to navigate to the IPI folder). The program opens with the Getting Started pop‑up screen displayed: Use the scrollbar to find basic information about: • Log‑in as User •...
Page 38
HelpDesk Software, cont’d The main program window can now be seen: The following section provides step by step procedures for some of the IP Intercom system’s most common operations. For details about operations not shown here, the user should refer to the HelpDesk help file, which can be accessed by clicking Help in the Help menu or by pressing the F1 key from within the HelpDesk program.
Configuring the IP Intercom System This section takes you through the step‑by‑step procedures for carrying out certain basic tasks. The examples in this chapter specifically describe the IPI 204 devices but apply to all IP Intercom models. For information about more advanced setup and configuration, consult the IP Intercom HelpDesk help file.
HelpDesk Software, cont’d Importing a GC2/GCZ file Select Import GC2/GCZ List (Recommended) from the drop‑down menu. Click Import. A Windows “Open” dialog box opens. Navigate to the folder where you have saved the Global Configurator file and select it. Click Open. The Intercom List is updated using devices from the Global Configurator file.
Scanning the local subnet Select Automatic (Local Subnet Only) from the drop‑down menu. The “Add” button is renamed to “Scan”. Click Scan. N The computer only scans the local subnet for available intercoms. A Scan Progress dialog box opens, indicating the progress of the scan. The scan detects only intercoms that are on the same local subnet and adds them to the Configuration Utility’s Intercom List.
HelpDesk Software, cont’d Configuring an IP device with the configuration utility Open the configuration utility and select one of the IP devices in the Intercom List. When it is highlighted, its information is displayed in the Selected Intercom pane: In the Selected Intercom pane, the unit’s Administrator Password and the IP addresses associated with each of the four buttons on the intercom can be changed.
Talk mode Select one of the IP devices on the Active Intercom List in the main screen. Activate the Talk button by clicking the Talk button and holding down the mouse button or by pressing and holding down the keyboard spacebar.
HelpDesk Software, cont’d Listen mode Under the Tools menu open the Help Desk Preferences dialog box, click on the User Options tab. Ensure the Play recurring alert tone at intercom panel when panel mic is open option and Play alert tone at intercom panel when mic is opened or closed options are checked (they are checked by default).
Press and hold the intercom button. It turns to a high amber color and the Mic On LED lights green. On the PC monitor, the Listen button is activated, the “Incoming Call Alert” indicator flashes, and two audible signals of different frequencies are heard at the intercom.
HelpDesk Software, cont’d Loading a pre-recorded .wav file The software allows you to load up to ten pre‑recorded .wav files. The software comes with a library of .wav files in the C:\Program Files\Extron\IPI\wav folder. You can use these .wav files or record your own messages. For example, non‑English speakers may find it easier to have the files in their native language.
Call forwarding The IP Intercom HelpDesk provides two ways of handling call forwarding: A single PC, acting as a server, forwards calls to the next available help desk. A peer‑to‑peer network allows calls to be forwarded to any available help desk. Setting up a peer-to-peer network All PCs must be running the IP Intercom HelpDesk software.
HelpDesk Software, cont’d None of the PCs can be set to Server Mode: Under the Tools menu, click on Preferences. The Preferences box opens. Click the Forwarding tab. Uncheck the Mode box. This box is left unchecked by default. If necessary, shut down and restart the IP Intercom HelpDesk program. Setting up one PC as a server All PCs (the server and the help desks) must be running the IP Intercom HelpDesk software.

• If the IPI is on, it sends the boot and copyright messages when you first open a Telnet connection to the IPI. You can see the day of the week, date, and time if the IPI is connected via Telnet, but not via RS‑232. If you are using a Telnet connection, the copyright message, date, and time are followed by a password prompt.
SIS Programming and Control, cont’d Commands and Reponses Using the command/response table The IPI 201/204 Series intercom can be controlled via either a Telnet (port 23) or RS‑232 connection using ASCII commands. Or it can be controlled via a Web browser (port 80) connection using URL‑encoded commands.
For control via a Web browser, all non‑alphanumeric characters must be represented as the hexadecimal equivalent, %xx, where xx represents the two‑character hex byte. A comma (,), for example, would be represented as %2C. Characters such as %, +, and the space character ( ) must be encoded as hex bytes, or they will be misinterpreted by the IPI.
