IPCP 505 Setup Guide - Extron

IPCP 505 Setup GuideThe Extron IPCP 505 IP Link Control Processor integrates Ethernet connection into AV systems to allow users to remotelycontrol, monitor, and troubleshoot AV equipment, including display devices and switchers. It includes an embedded web server,multiple bidirectional serial ports, switched low voltage power output ports, relays, and configurable flex I/O ports for use inapplications that require control and monitoring of multiple devices within a large-scale AV system.The IPCP 505 is configured using the free Extron Global Configurator (GC) software. The IPCP 505 integrates seamlessly withExtron GlobalViewer Enterprise (GVE) software and the free GlobalViewer web-based AV resource management for remotecontrol applications. The IPCP 505 supports multiple TouchLink touchpanel interfaces over a standard Ethernet network. GlobalConfigurator and other useful software applications are available at www.extron.com.Front Panel FeaturesSwitched12 VDC LEDsCOM (Serial) LEDsIPCP 505IR/Serial LIMITTX3Power LEDFlex I/O LEDs85678Reset Button (recessed)567834Relay LEDsIR ReceiverRear Panel FeaturesCOM1 - COM6(RS-232)COM7, COM8IR/Serial(RS-232, RS-422, RS-485)RelaysRear Panel100-240V50-60Hz12TX RX GSWITCHED 12VDC40W MAX TOTAL34COM45A MAX - -TX RX GPowerInputSwitched 12 VDCPower OutputCOM2COM3TX RX G TX RX GCOM7TX RX G RTS CTS12S G S G341COM6TX RX G TX RX GCOM8TX RX G RTS CTS56S G S G34S G S G7LANRELAYIR/SERIALCOM528S G S G5678FLEX I/OMAC: 00-05-A6-XX-XX-XXS/N: - -COM1MACAddress1 2 3 4 GFlex I/OEthernet(digital(LAN)input/output,analog input)1

Global Configurator: Loads device drivers and uses commands from them as you desire for controlling other products Creates a single configuration file containing all the settings for the IPCP and the products with which it interacts in the AVsystem Generates a graphical user interface called GlobalViewer that is uploaded to the IPCP (a GlobalViewer host device) along withthe completed configuration and can be accessed as a web pageUsing GlobalViewer, users can manage, monitor, and control Extron and third-party equipment such as projectors, displays,computer monitors, VCRs, and DVD players.What To Set Up in GCUse GC software to create a configuration that tells the IPCP how its ports will function; how to control other products; whichtouchpanels to interact with; what to monitor; when to do things; and whom to notify, how, and under what circumstances.Configuration1.Download and install the latest versions of the following: Global Configurator software — for setting up the IPCP and creating a single system configuration file Device driver package — for use with GC, to make control of other devices possible GUI Configurator software — for configuring Extron TLP touchpanelsAll are avail able from www.extron.com or on the Extron Software Products Disc.ATTENTION:4Use Global Configurator version 3.2 or later. Update all PCs and devices running earlier versions of GC.

2.Obtain IP address and subnet mask information for the IPCP from the network administrator.3.Cable devices to the IPCP 505 (see Cabling and Features on page 2), connect touchpanels to the same network as theIPCP, then power on all the devices.4.Connect the IPCP to a network, power it on, and use ARP (see Network Configuration Using ARP below) to set theIP address for the unit.5.Use GUI Configurator to set up TLP touchpanels. You will need to upload the touchpanel configuration to Global Configuratorwhen you set up the IPCP. Also read the setup and user guides for the model of TLP used in the system.6.Using Global Configurator, create a project, configure the IPCP 505 and other IP Link devices, and upload the configurationto the IPCP.7.Launch the GlobalViewer interface and test the configuration and the system.NOTE: Additional information and step-by-step instructions on configuration tasks are available in both theGlobal Configurator Help file and the GUI Configurator Help file. The Global Configurator Help file includes anintroduction to the software and how to start a GC project.ResourcesObtaining Control DriversExtron provides an extensive selection of device drivers in the driverpackage available on the Extron website.If the system requires a control driver that is not part of the driverpackage, you have additional options:Instructions, Information, andAssistance Request a new serial (RS‑232) driver from Extron.A checklist of basic setup steps is provided atthe end of this guide. For additional informationsee the help files and the IPCP 505 User Guide,available at www.extron.com. Create your own custom IR device driver using Extron IR Learnersoftware. Follow the directions in the IR Learner Help file to createa driver by using the remote control for that device and the IRreceiver port on the front panel of the IPCP 505.If you have questions during installation andsetup, call the Extron S3 Sales & TechnicalSupport Hotline or the Extron S3 ControlSystems Support Hotline.Configuring for Network CommunicationNetwork Configuration OptionsWhen you power on the IPCP for the first time, you have a choice of several ways to set up the IP address: Use the ARP (address resolution protocol) command — see the instructions below. Use a Web browser — see the IPCP 505 User Guide. Use the Global Configurator software — see the Global Configurator Help file. Use SIS commands via Telnet — see the IPCP 505 User Guide.Network Configuration Using ARPUse ARP to configure the IP address as follows:1.Obtain a valid IP address for the IPCP from the network administrator.2.Obtain the MAC address of the IPCP from the label on its rear panel. The MAC address should have this format:00-05-A6-xx-xx-xx.3.Connect the PC and the IPCP to the same subnetwork.4.At the PC, access the command prompt, then enterthe arp –s command. Type in the desired newIP address for the unit and the MAC address of theunit (listed on the rear panel of the IPCP). Forexample:arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B05.Execute a ping command by entering “ping”followed by a space and the new IP address at thecommand prompt. For example:ping 10.13.197.7The response should show the new IP address, asshown in the figure at right.5
