IPCP505 • Setup Guide
The Extron IPCP505 IP Link
®
Control Processor integrates Ethernet connection into AV systems to allow users to remotely
control, 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 in
applications 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 with
Extron GlobalViewer
®
Enterprise (GVE) software and the free GlobalViewer web-based AV resource management for remote
control applications. The IPCP 505 supports multiple TouchLink
®
touchpanel interfaces over a standard Ethernet network. Global
Configurator and other useful software applications are available at www.extron.com.

About Global Congurator (GC)
What It Does
Global Configurator is the software tool for setting up an IPCP and the system it controls. 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 AV
system
• Generates a graphical user interface called GlobalViewer that is uploaded to the IPCP (a GlobalViewer host device) along with
the completed configuration and can be accessed as a web page
Using 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 GC
Use GC software to create a configuration that tells the IPCP how its ports will function; how to control other products; which
touchpanels to interact with; what to monitor; when to do things; and whom to notify, how, and under what circumstances.
Conguration
1. 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 touchpanels
All are avail able from www.extron.com or on the Extron Software Products Disc.
ATTENTION: Use Global Congurator version 3.2 or later. Update all PCs and devices running earlier versions of GC.
5
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 the
IPCP, 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 the
IPaddress for the unit.
5. Use GUI Configurator to set up TLP touchpanels. You will need to upload the touchpanel configuration to Global Configurator
when 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 configuration
to 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 the
Global Configurator Help file and the GUI Configurator Help file. The Global Configurator Help file includes an
introduction to the software and how to start a GC project.
Resources
Obtaining Control Drivers
Extron provides an extensive selection of device drivers in the driver
package available on the Extron website.
If the system requires a control driver that is not part of the driver
package, you have additional options:
• Request a new serial (RS-232) driver from Extron.
• Create your own custom IR device driver using Extron IRLearner
software. Follow the directions in the IRLearner Help file to create
a driver by using the remote control for that device and the IR
receiver port on the front panel of the IPCP505.
Instructions, Information, and
Assistance
A checklist of basic setup steps is provided at
the end of this guide. For additional information
see the help files and the IPCP505 User Guide,
available at www.extron.com.
If you have questions during installation and
setup, call the ExtronS3 Sales & Technical
Support Hotline or the ExtronS3 Control
Systems Support Hotline.
Conguring for Network Communication
Network Configuration Options
When 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 ARP
Use 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 enter
the arp –s command. Type in the desired new
IPaddress for the unit and the MAC address of the
unit (listed on the rear panel of the IPCP). For
example:
arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0
5. Execute a ping command by entering “ping
followed by a space and the new IP address at the
command prompt. For example:
ping 10.13.197.7
The response should show the new IP address, as
shown in the gure at right.
