About the IPCPProSeries
The IPCPProSeries Control Processors integrate Ethernet connection into AV systems to
allow users to remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot AV equipment, including display
devices, switchers, source devices, and various other items such as lights, a projector
lift, or a screen motor. They can be used in a distributed control system environment
or as stand-alone control processors. Some models (such as the IPCP Pro 550 and
IPCPPro555) also have the ability to power devices that accept 12VDC.
Figure 1. IPCPPro250 (Left), IPCPPro350 (Center), IPCPPro550 (Right)
IPCP Pro Control Processors with AV LAN provide a secure network dedicated for the
connection and isolation of AV devices.
Figure 2. Models with Dedicated AV LAN Ports:
IPCPPro355DR (Left), IPCPPro555 (Right)
The IPCP Pro PCS1 provides a controlled AC power output which can be monitored and
controlled, along with a circuit breaker that provides overcurrent protection to the connected
device.
Figure 3. IPCPProPCS1
CAUTION: This product is intended for indoor use only.
ATTENTION : Ce produit est exclusivement adapté à un usage intérieur.
NOTE: The IPCPProPCS1 is intended to be used with Extron Electronics products
only.
An IPCPProSeries control processor is the centerpiece of a control system that features
Extron TouchLinkPro Touchpanels, or Extron eBUS button panels connected to the eBUS
port on the control processor. The IPCP supports multiple TouchLinkPro touchpanels over
a standard Ethernet network. The touchpanels provide a convenient interface for controlling
the IPCP, which, in turn, controls the other system components. Another option is to use a
third-party device such as a touchpanel or tablet in conjunction with Extron LinkLicense.
NOTE: GUI Designer software is used to design the user interface layout of any Extron
TouchLinkPro touchpanel or third-party touch interface that is used with the IPCP.
Rev. G, 08/2018:
Reworded

and the switched
AC output.
• The IPCPProPCS1 is intended to be used with Extron Electronics products only.
• L’IPCPProPCS1 doit être utilisé exclusivement avec des produits Extron Electronics.
IPCP Pro Series • Introduction 3
Use the Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage the IPCPPro control processor
and other Extron control products. Configure the control processor using GCProfessional
or GC Plus, or program it using Global Scripter (GS). Once you have set up how you want it
to work (set up IP addresses and functions, assigned drivers to ports, configured relays and
digital input or output), that information is saved to a project configuration file that is built
and uploaded into the IPCP and to any optional TouchLinkPro touchpanels.
The IPCPProSeries integrates seamlessly with Extron GlobalViewer Enterprise software and
Extron Control for Web, iOS, and Android for remote control applications.
Features
General features
Flexible options for device control — The IPCP offers RS-232 and infrared (IR) control,
TCP/Ethernet control and monitoring, relays, and either digital I/O (digital input or digital
output) or flex I/O (analog input or digital input or digital output) controls.
• Any IPCPPro control processor with an IR receiver port can learn IR signals from
remote controls to communicate with sources such as DVD players. Users can create
their own IR device drivers or go to the Extron website (www.extron.com) to obtain
drivers.
• All models include an Extron eBUS port, which allows a variety of eBUS devices (such
as button panels) and accessories (including power and signal hubs) to be connected
to a single control processor. eBUS button panels are automatically recognized by the
control processor and can be added or removed at any time.
• Some models also offer contact input ports, independently switched 12VDC power
output, or a port for volume control of an Extron audio amplifier.
• The IPCP Pro PCS1 includes one switched AC power output port for power control of a
connected device.
Several mounting options
• The IPCPPro 355DR can be mounted to a standard 35mm × 7.5mm DIN rail.
• The IPCPPro embedded control processors are embedded into a variety of other
Extron products such as matrix switchers and scalers, which can be rack mounted.
• All other models are housed in a standard 1U high enclosure which is easily rack
mounted or can be installed in or under furniture with an optional mounting kit.
Universal power system compatibility
• The IPCPPro360, IPCPPro550, and IPCPPro555 include an internal power supply
that accepts 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input.
• Other models include a 12VDC external power supply that accepts 100-240 VAC,
50-60 Hz input.
• Some models offer PoE+ output on the LAN or AVLAN ports.
Network and configuration features
• Global compatibility — The IPCP uses industry standard Ethernet communication
protocols, including DHCP, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, ICMP, NTP, SFTP, SMTP, SNMP, SSH,
TCP/IP, and UDP/IP.
• Network switch — The IPCPPro350, IPCPPro embedded control processors, and
IPCPPro360 include an unmanaged threeport switch that supports 10Base-T up to
gigabit (1000Base-T) Ethernet communication. Connect any one of these ports to the
network for communication with the IPCP. Connect the other two ports to devices such
as TouchLink Pro touchpanels and network-controlled AV devices.
Rev. H, 10/2018: Added line
for the IPCP Pro PCS1
regarding switched AC
power output.
Rev. L:
Removed
reference
to the
discontinued
IPCP Pro
350DR.
IPCP Pro Series • Introduction 4
• Support for a separate, dedicated AV network (AV LAN) — Some models
(IPCPPro 255, AV LAN embedded models, IPCPPro 355DR, IPCPPro360,
IPCPPro555) feature two network interfaces. The interface at the LAN port connects
to the corporate network. The AV LAN network interface is for dedicated control of AV
devices so you can separate AV traffic from your primary corporate network.
• Multi-level password protection — This allows security to be set based on user roles.
• Embedded web pages — The IPCP embedded web pages include online
diagnostics and monitoring of basic features.
• If the unit is configured to work with Extron Control, you can access the virtual user
interfaces from a link in the embedded web page.
• The AC power output port of the IPCPProPCS1 can also be managed (turned on
or off) via its embedded web page.
• Remote equipment management — The IP Link Pro connection allows you
to remotely manage, monitor, and control several Ethernet-enabled products such
as projectors, cameras, video conferencing equipment, switchers, and other AV
equipment. The IPCP provides support for the following:
• TCP, UDP, and HTTP connections
• Password protection using secure communication
• Up to 32 (GCProfessional) or 8 (GCPlus) Ethernet devices at a time depending on
the configuration mode
• Connection via IP address or host name
• System asset management — The configured system and control processor allow
you to control, monitor, and schedule various functions of devices in the system.
• E-mail notification — The IPCP can be set up to send e-mail notifications, such as a
notice that a projector has been disconnected or the projector lamp has been used for
a designated number of hours.
• Additional security features — Each control processor can use the included Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate or a user-supplied, customized security certificate (see
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates on page62. IEEE 802.1X Authentication
is also supported in our devices once enabled. For details see IEEE 802.1X
Certificates on page63.
Rev. G:
12/07/17: added IPCPPro 355M as
“dual-NIC embedded model”.
08/2018: Renamed that (and the
360M) as “AV LAN embedded
models”.
Each IPCPProSeries control processor offers up to 4.5MB
of flash memory for storing Extron GlobalViewer and user-
supplied web pages, configuration settings, and device
drivers. Data in flash memory is served at a transfer rate of
6 Mbps (megabits per second).
SDRAM: 512 MB
Flash: 4.5 GB

Figure 6. An Embedded IPCP Pro AV LAN Application
Device Control
The IPCP must be configured in one of the following ways before it will send commands to a
projector, display, or other device:
• An IR, RS-232, or Ethernet driver file can be downloaded from the Extron website
(www.extron.com/download/index.aspx). The driver is saved to a folder and
commands from the driver are incorporated into the GC configuration file for the control
processor and any touchpanels that will work with it. The configuration file is built and
uploaded to the IPCP via GC.
• If a driver is not already available, RS-232 or Ethernet command strings can be
entered directly from a host computer using GlobalConfigurator. These can then be
incorporated into controls within the GC project.
• IR commands can be entered directly from an IR remote control through IR learning via
IRLearnerPro to create a driver that the unit can use. IR learning is seldom needed,
but it is convenient for adding new or updated commands in the field in the rare cases
when a driver is not already available from Extron.
See the Global Configurator Help File (which comes with the software) for details on setting
up the IPCP and for downloading, programming, or learning device control commands.
IPCP Pro Series • Introduction 9
About Global Configurator (with GCProfessional and GCPlus Modes)
Global Configurator:
• Loads device drivers for monitoring the status of and controlling devices within the AV
system.
• Uploads GUIDesigner interface layouts to touchpanels and third-party touch interfaces.
• Creates the configuration containing all the settings for the control processor and the
products with which it interacts in the AV system.
• Uploads the configuration to the control processor.
To obtain Extron control product software, you must have an Extron Insider account and
contact an Extron support representative. Extron provides training to our customers on how
to use the software. Access to the features of Global Configurator Professional is available
to users who successfully complete Extron Control Professional Certification.
About Global Scripter
For those who prefer to program control systems rather than configure them, Extron offers
GlobalScripter as an alternative to Global Configurator. Global Scripter is an integrated
programming development environment for Extron IPLinkPro, TouchLinkPro, and eBUS
products. It uses the object-oriented Python programming language and a custom Python
library called ControlScript. Global Scripter includes the ControlScript API as well as all of
the tools for developing control system programs, such as file management, code editing,
debugging and diagnostic tools. More information is available at http://www.extron.com/
technology/landing/programming/.
About Additional Software Used to Deploy Configurations from LAN to
Products on an AVLAN
Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS), XTPConfigurator, and DSPConfigurator
provide the ability to configure devices connected to the AV LAN of an IPCPPro control
processor.
PCS can do the following:
• Discover and display the supported IPCP devices
• Securely connect through the IPCP and display a list of devices connected to its
AVLAN
• Configure various devices found on the AVLAN
Each of these applications can perform additional functions that vary by software type, such
as performing firmware updates or configuration restoration for connected products on the
av LAN.
PC System Requirements
To find the minimum hardware and software requirements for the PC you use to configure
the IPCPProSeries:
• Visit the Download page (www.extron.com/download/index.aspx) on the Extron
website and navigate to the web page for the specific software package (such as
Global Configurator and GUI Designer). Minimum PC hardware and software system
requirements are listed in the description section. In some cases, minimum device
firmware version requirements are also listed there.
• If system requirements are not listed on the software package web page, contact an
Extron support representative.

Setup Checklist: How to Proceed With Installation
Get Ready
Familiarize yourself with the features of the control processor (see Front Panel
Features on page14 and Ports, Addressing, and Connections on page19)
and of any TouchLinkPro touchpanels or button panels that will be part of the system.
Download and install the latest version of the following:
Toolbelt software — for discovering the control processor and other control
products on the network, for managing core settings, and for upgrading firmware
when needed.
Global Configurator (GC) software — for configuring the control system.
Global Scripter software — for programming the control processor (as an
alternative to GC)
PCS Product Configuration Software version 4.5 or higher — for setting the IP
address of any IPCPPro model with AV LAN ports as long as the ports are set to
the default IP addresses
GUI Designer software — for designing layouts for Extron TouchLinkPro
touchpanels and third-party touch interfaces
IPLinkPro device drivers — for use with GC, to make control of other devices
possible
IR Learner Pro software — for use with models that have IR receiver ports, to
create your own IR drivers using the remote control of an AV device, if drivers are
not already available from Extron
All are avail able from www.extron.com (see Locating Software, Firmware, and
Driver Files on the Extron Website on page55).
11/2018: removed
“The IPCPPro Series control processors
work differently from the previous
generation of IPLink products. “
Rev. L: Added PCS as
an option for setting
IP addresses on
units with AV LAN
ports.
IPCP Pro Series • Hardware Features and Installation 11
Obtain network information for the unit from the network administrator. You need the
following details for each IPLinkPro device:
DHCP setting (on or off) Gateway IP address
Device (IPCPPro, TouchLinkPro, IPLPro) LAN IPaddress Username
AVLAN IPaddress (for models with AVLAN)
Subnet mask
Passwords
Write down the MAC address of each network interface on each IPLinkPro device to
be used.
Obtain model names and setup information for devices the IPCP will control.
Each control processor comes with a factory-installed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
security certificate. If you intend to install a different SSL certificate, contact your IT
department to obtain the certificate or for instructions on how to obtain one (see
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates on page62 for requirements and
guidelines regarding SSL certificates).
For systems that will use IEEE 802.1X security, obtain a PEM-encoded security
certificate and private key (see IEEE 802.1X Certificates on page63) from your IT
department.
Mount and Cable All Devices
Mount the unit to a rack or furniture (see Mounting the IPCPPro Series on
page17).
Cable devices to the control processor (see Ports, Addressing, and Connections
starting on page19).
Connect power cords and power on all the devices.
Set Up the Control Processor, Touchpanels, and Network Button Panels for
Network Communication
For models without AVLAN ports: Connect the PC that you will use for setup, the
LAN port of the control processor, and the touchpanels or network button panels to
the same Ethernet network. For control processor LAN connections, see LAN (IP)
connectors and LEDs on page29.
For models with AVLAN ports: Connect the PC that you will use for setup, the
control processor, and the touchpanels or network button panels to the Ethernet
network. For control processor AVLAN connections, see AV LAN connectors and
LEDs on page29.
Start Toolbelt and use it to set the IP address or addresses, subnet, gateway
IP address, DHCP status, and related settings (see the flowchart in Network
Communication Setup on page13).
NOTES:
• When setting up DHCP during network configuration or if using a host name
instead of an IP address, the user must enter a qualified host name
(Username.HostName.Domain). For example: somename.extron.com.
• A dedicated AV LAN safeguards AV systems from outside intrusion or
interference by separating device control and other network traffic from a
corporate or campus network. To ensure that the control processor LAN and
AV LAN connections (ports) are connected to separate networks, the LAN and
AV LAN IP address schemes must be on different subnetworks.

IPCP Pro Series • Hardware Features and Installation 12
Configure or Program the Control Processor, Touchpanels, and
Network Button Panels
If TouchLinkPro touchpanels are part of the system, start and use GUIDesigner
to design, save, and build the graphical user interface (GUI) layout for the
touchpanels (see the GUIDesigner Help File for instructions).
NOTE: To redeem (activate) a LinkLicense, go to www.extron.com/llredeem and
follow the online instructions.
A LinkLicense unlocks features that add convenience, expand system options,
and enhance the capabilities of your Extron products. For IPCPPro systems, a
LinkLicense allows you to use a mobile device or computer as the primary control
interface in an Extron control system where a TouchLink Pro touchpanel may not
be present.
If using GC, create a new GCProfessional or GCPlus project and configure the
control processor and other IP Link Pro devices. The configuration tells the control
processor:
• How its ports function • What to monitor
• How to control other products • When to do things
• Which touchpanels to interact with • Whom to notify, how, and under what
circumstances
Configure ports on the control processor:
Select device drivers and link them to each serial, IR/serial, or Ethernet port.
Select settings (serial protocol, relay behavior, digital I/O or flex I/O settings, AC
output settings) as needed.
Add eBUS devices and set them up:
Ensure that the hardware address (eBUS ID) set on each device is distinct and
matches the address used in the configuration.
Assign button functions as desired.
Add Network Button Panels (NBPs) and set them up. Assign button functions as
desired.
Set up monitors, schedules, macros, and local variables.
Add touchpanels and set them up:
Upload the GUI configuration to the Global Configurator project.
Assign any appropriate functions, monitors, or schedules to the touchpanels
and their buttons.
If not using GC Professional or GC Plus, use Global Scripter to program the
control system as desired.
Program ports on the control processor:
Program each serial, IR/serial, or Ethernet port.
Program relay behavior, digital I/O, flex I/O, and AC output settings as needed.
Add eBUS devices and set them up:
Ensure that the hardware address set on each device is distinct and matches
the addresses programmed for them in the IPCP.
Program button functions as desired.
Add Network Button Panels (NBPs) and set them up. Assign button functions as
desired.
