About the IPCPProxiSeries
The IPCPProxi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xi and
IPCPPro555Qxi) can also power devices that accept 12VDC.
This series of control processors offers increased deployment speed, improved runtime
performance, support for the Extron ControlScript sandbox, and increased memory to
accommodate more complex projects.

IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series • Introduction 3
An IPCPProxiSeries control processor is the centerpiece of a control system that
features Extron TouchLinkPro Touchpanels, Extron NBP Network Button Panels,
and IPLEXP expansion interfaces. Most models (except the IPCPProS1xi and the
IPCPProFOX3MatrixQxi control card) also support 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.
Use the Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage the IPCPProxi control processor
and other Extron control products. Configure the control processor using GCProfessional or
GC Plus, or program it using Global Scripter or ControlScript Deployment Utility.. 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xiSeries integrates seamlessly with Extron GlobalViewer Enterprise software
and Extron Control for Web, iOS, and Android for remote control applications.
Features
General features
Faster microprocessors and expanded memory — These models offer increased
project upload speeds, faster runtime performance, and the ability to create more
sophisticated projects than previous generations of control processors.
IPCPProxi models — 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of flash memory
IPCPProQxi models (models with AV LAN ports) — 2 GB of RAM, 8 GB of flash
memory, quad-core processor
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, digital input, or digital output) controls.
Any IPCPProxi control processor with an IR receiver port can learn IR signals from
remote controls to communicate with sources such as DVD or Blue-Ray players. Users
can create their own IR device drivers or go to the Extron website (www.extron.com)
to obtain drivers.
All models except the IPCPProS1xi and the IPCPProFOX3MatrixQxi card 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xi includes one switched AC power output port for power control
of a connected device.
Several mounting options
The IPCPPro355DRQ xi can be mounted to a standard 35mm × 7.5mm DIN rail.
The IPCPProFOX3MatrixQxi card mounts within a FOX3 matrix switcher.
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.

IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series • Introduction 4
Universal power system compatibility
The IPCPPro360Q xi, IPCPPro550xi, and IPCPPro555Q xi 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 Power over Ethernet + (PoE+) output on the LAN or AVLAN ports.
The IPCPProFOX3MatrixQxi card is powered directly by a FOX3 matrix switcher.
Network and configuration features
Global compatibility — The IPCP uses industry standard Ethernet communication
protocols, including DHCP, DNS, HTTP (redirect), HTTPS, ICMP, IEEE 802.1X, NTP,
SFTP, SMTP, SNMP, SSH, TCP/IP, and UDP/IP.
Network switch — The IPCPPro350xi and IPCPPro360Qxi 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.
Support for a separate, dedicated AV network (AV LAN) — Some models
(IPCPPro255Qxi, IPCPPro355DRQxi, IPCPPro360Qxi, IPCPPro555Qxi) 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xi 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64. IEEE 802.1X Authentication
is also supported in our devices once enabled. For details see IEEE 802.1X Certificates
on page65. These control processors also comply with NIAP security standards.
Support for the Extron ControlScript sandbox environment.

IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series • Introduction 8
Device Control
The IPCP must be configured in one of the following ways before it can 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.
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

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xi 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xi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.

IPCP Pro Q xi and xi 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
NOTE: If DHCP is on, you do not need the IP addresses and 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64 for requirements and
guidelines regarding SSL certificates).
For systems that use IEEE 802.1X security, obtain a PEM-encoded security certificate
and private key (see IEEE 802.1X Certificates on page65) from your IT department.
Mount and Cable All Devices
Mount the IPCPPro355DRQ xi to a DIN rail, insert the IPCPProFOX3MatrixQxi card
into a FOX3 matrix switcher and fasten it to the chassis, or mount a rack-mountable unit
to a rack or furniture (see Mounting the IPCPPro xi Series on page18).
Cable devices to the control processor (see Ports, Addressing, and Connections
starting on page21).
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 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 (Ethernet)
connectors and LEDs on page32.
For models with AVLAN ports: Connect the PC that you 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32.
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.
Rev. B: Added note about
not needing IP addresses
if DHCP is on.
Rev. C: Split out the
mounting sentence
by mounting type
(DIN rail, FOX
matrix, rack mount).
IPCP Pro Q xi and xi 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Qxi and xi
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.
Add and configure any IPLEXP expansion interfaces.
Set up monitors, schedules, macros, and local variables.
