Direct PC connection

This type of connection is used initially to connect to and
configure the IPL M PDP-ES card.
1. Plug one end of a Cat 5, crossover Ethernet cable into the
rear panel Ethernet connector of the IPL M PDP-ES
interface card. Refer to figure 2-7 for RJ-45 connector
wiring.
2. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet
port on your PC.

Ethernet/LAN port

This type of connection is used on an ongoing basis to connect
the IPL M PDP-ES interface card to a LAN for remote control of
the Pioneer plasma and other connected devices.
1. Plug one end of a Cat 5, straight-through Ethernet cable
into the LAN port of the IPL M PDP-ES interface card.
Refer to figure 2-7 for RJ-45 connector wiring.
2. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into a network
switch, hub, or router connected to an Ethernet LAN or to
the Internet.

The IPL M PDP-ES can be connected to a controller device or a
local PC through its RS-232 port.

PC connection

1. Connect one end of a straight-through serial cable (Extron
part #26-433-03) to the RS-232 port of the interface card.
Refer to figure 2-8 for pin assignments.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a local PC.

Serial connection

1. Connect the male end of an RS-232 cable (Extron part#
26-437-04) to the RS-232 port of the interface card. Refer to
figure 2-8 for pin assignments.
2. Connect the bare end of the cable to a controller device,

To function together properly, both the controlling PC and the
IPL M PDP-ES interface card must be configured correctly: the
PC must be network-capable, with the proper protocols
installed and the hardware configured correctly.
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.
To use the IPL M PDP-ES 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
