IPL T S Series • Introduction 3

Features

Support for bidirectional RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial communication —

Allows remote and proactive monitoring and troubleshooting of serially-controlled devices.

NOTE: The IPL T S1 supports RS-232 only.

Serial port pass-through — Two-, four-, and six-port models can be configured

for pass-through mode, enabling each pair of ports on the interfaces to pass through

commands and control a single device.

web-based AV asset management — When used with GlobalViewer software, the IPL

T S interfaces provide a powerful, flexible way to manage, monitor, and control projectors,

flat-panel displays, and other devices using a standard Ethernet network.

Integral, high performance web server — Each IPL T S interface features a built-in

web server with memory available for storing device drivers, GlobalViewer, and development

of your own web pages using “off-the-shelf” web authoring software.

Industry standard Ethernet protocols — All IPL T S models support industry standard

Ethernet communication protocols, including ARP, DHCP, ICMP, UDP/IP, TCP/IP, Telnet,

HTTP, and SMTP, accessed through an RJ-45 auto-sense

10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN connection.

Simultaneous multi-user support — Each IPL T S interface supports multiple

concurrent users, improving system throughput.

E-mail capabilities to enable support — With e-mail notification, technical support

administrators can receive failure and service messages through an e-mail enabled cell

phone, PDA, pager, or Internet e-mail account.

Multiple levels of access with password protection — User access level authorizes

limited entry to only pre-designated functions, while administrator access level permits full

access to advanced settings.

NOTE: The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set

to the device serial number. In the event of an absolute system reset, the passwords

convert to the default, which is no password.

Configuration utility — Global Configurator software, a free, easy-to-use

Windows

®

-based configuration utility, makes product setup simple and intuitive —no

programming knowledge is required.

Extensive library of device drivers — Device drivers allow Extron products to control

various display and source devices, such as projectors, flat-panel displays, and DVD

players. Extron has produced thousands of fully tested and uniformly modeled RS-232 and

IR drivers.

Direct port access — Use existing software programs to control a device that has no

Ethernet support. Any existing Extron product with a serial control port can be interfaced

with a LAN.

Built-in multi-level security — A user can control access to devices attached to the

interface. Two levels of password protection provide appropriate security.

Serial port connectivity — Provides serial ports on 9-pin D and/or 3.5 mm, captive

screw connectors.

Easy configuration and control — Easily control the interface in three ways:

• The Internet Explorer

®

browser

• A web-based interface

• DataViewer (or a standard Telnet client application)

The IPL T S series requires no centralized processor to operate within a system.

Multiple mounting options — Can be mounted under a desktop or podium, on a

projector mount, or on a rack shelf.

other devices), the IPL T S unit, the output devices (monitors, VCRs, projectors, and so

on) and the serial controller are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.

2. Mount the IPL T S interface (see Mounting the IPL T S Interface).

3. Attach the cables (see Connecting the Hardware).

4. Connect power cords and turn on the devices in the following order: output devices

(projectors, monitors, speakers), IPL T S interface, serial controller or computer (PC),

then input devices (DSS, cable boxes, and so on).

5. Configure the IPL T S interface through DataViewer or Telnet, then access the unit using

an Internet browser.

Mounting the IPL T S Interface

UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of an IPL T

S Series unit onto a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,

the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room

ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with

the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer [Tma = +32 to +122 °F

(0 to +50 °C)].

2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the

amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a

hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the

equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have

on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment

nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

IPL T S Series • Installation and Operation 5

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment

should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other

than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Mounting Options

All units are easily mounted in a rack, under a desk or podium, or on a projector mount.

IPL T S Series interface devices can be used to control display devices, switchers, and other

AV equipment via an RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 connection.

Factory default protocol for the control interface is:

• RS-232 • 8 data bits • pacing = 0 ms

• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • handshaking = off

• no parity

Communication to an attached device can be done through the IPL T S Series device

default web pages or by using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS

™

) commands.

COM ports 1 and 2 of the IPL T S2 can be wired in a similar way as the IPL T S6, as shown

in figure 11. Both can be wired using a 3.5 mm, 5-pole or 3-pole captive screw connector.

NOTE: The IPL T S2 allows for use of either the 9-pin D connector on COM1 or COM2.

The 9-pin D connector COM ports and the captive screw connector COM ports cannot

be connected simultaneously.

Identification

¢

UID # — The unique user ID number (MAC address) of the unit (for example, 00-05-A6-

00-00-01).

Operation

Connect power cords and turn on the output display devices (projectors, monitors, VCRs),

control devices (switchers, scalers, distribution amplifiers), interface, and input devices (PC,

laptop, network equipment).

Check indicator LEDs on the PC/laptop, on the interface, on the network hub/router, and so

on, to ensure that all the devices are plugged in and communicating. The IPL T S interface is

now ready to be configured (see Connection and Configuration starting on page14).

If connection or communication problems occur, see Troubleshooting on page52. If

the troubleshooting tips do not help, check with your local network administrator, or call the

Extron S

Sales & Technical Support Hotline.

Front Panel Indicators

The front panels of the IPL T S interfaces have several indicator LEDs that show the current

status of communications to and from the unit. A reset button (b) is also available from the

front panel, in a small recess next to the Power LED.

Resetting the Unit

There are five reset modes available by pressing the Reset button (

2

) on the side panel.

The Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to

access it. See the following table for a summary of the modes.

ATTENTION:

• Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result in

unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or a controller

reboot.

• Analysez minutieusement les différents modes de réinitialisation. Appliquer

le mauvais mode de réinitialisation peut causer une perte inattendue de la

programmation de la mémoire flash, une reconfiguration des ports ou une

réinitialisation du processeur.

• The reset modes listed below (with the exception of Mode 2) close all open IP and

Telnet connections and close all sockets.

• Les modes de réinitialisation répertoriés ci-dessous (à l’exception du Mode 2)

ferment toutes les connexions IP et Telnet ouvertes ainsi que les prises de courant.

• If the Reset button is continuosly held down, every three seconds the LED pulses

(blinks) and puts the unit in a different mode. The Mode 5 LED blinks three times,

the third blink indicating that it is the last mode. The following modes are separate

functions, not a continuation from Mode 1 to Mode 5.

IPL T S Series • Installation and Operation 13

Reset Mode Comparison/Summary

Mode Activation Results Purpose

1

Hold down the recessed Reset

button while applying power to

the IPL T S unit.

NOTE: After a mode 1 reset

is performed, update the

unit firmware to the latest

version. Do not operate the

unit firmware version that

results from the mode 1

reset. If you want to use the

factory default firmware, you

must upload that version

again.

The unit reverts to the factory default firmware.

Event scripting will not start if the unit is powered

on in this mode. All user files and settings (drivers,

adjustments, IP settings, and so forth) are maintained.

NOTE: If you do not want to update firmware, or

you performed a mode 1 reset by mistake, cycle

power to the unit to return to the firmware version

that was running prior to the mode 1 reset. Use

the 0Q SIS command to confirm that the factory

default firmware is no longer running (look for

asterisks following the version number.)

Use mode 1 to revert to the

factory default firmware version if

incompatibility issues arise with

user-loaded firmware.

2

Press and release the Reset

button. Within 2 seconds type

+++ on the keyboard.

NOTE: If the three + signs

(+++) are not entered in

the 2-second time frame,

the COM port becomes a

control port only.

The connected COM port becomes a console port to

send SIS commands. Scripting remains on.

Mode 2 enables the SIS console

port.

3

Hold down the Reset button for

about 3 sec. until the Reset LED

blinks once.

Then press Reset momentarily

(<1 sec.) within 1 second.

Mode 3 turns events on or off.

During resetting, the Reset LED flashes 2 times if

events are starting, 3 times if events are stopping.

Mode 3 is useful for

troubleshooting.

4

Hold down the Reset button for

about 6 seconds. until the Reset

LED has blinked twice (once at 3

seconds, again at 6 seconds).

Then press Reset momentarily

(for <1 second) within 1 second.

• Enables ARP capability.

• Sets the IP address back to factory default

(192.168.254.254).

• Sets the subnet back to factory default.

• Sets the default gateway address back to the

factory default.

• Sets port mapping back to factory default.

• Turns DHCP off.

• Turns events off.

The Reset LED flashes 4 times in quick succession

during the reset.

Mode 4 enables you to set IP

address information using ARP

and the MAC address.

5

Hold down the Reset button for

about 9 sec. until the Reset LED

has blinked three times (once at

3 seconds, again at 6 s seconds,

again at 9 seconds).

Then press Reset momentarily

(for <1 second) within 1 second.

Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory defaults

(except the firmware).

• Does everything mode 4 does.

• Resets almost all the real time adjustments: all

audio settings, limit initial power up volume, power

up/down delay, auto power down, and misc.

options. This does not affect an optional MLS

switcher, however.

• Clears driver-port associations and port

configurations (IR/RS-232).

• Removes button configurations.

• Resets all IP options.

• Removes scheduling settings.

• Removes/clears all files from switcher.

The Reset LED flashes 4 times in quick succession

during the reset.

Mode 5 is useful if you want to

start over with configuration and

uploading, and also to replace

events.
