Introduction, cont’d
Global Configurator (GC) is a software application that gives users the ability to create a single configuration file of all the controlled devices on their audio/video (A/V) network.
There are two types of devices in an A/V system:
•Controllers - Control devices that have an IP Link® enabled Ethernetportfornetworkconnectivity,andserial,relay,I/O, and infrared (IR) ports for A/V device connectivity
•Controlled devices - Audio/video products, such as video projectors, displays, VCRs, DVD players, document cameras, projector screens, room lighting systems, etc;
all of the equipment that is used to generate an audio/video presentation
Once a "global" configuration file is built, GC then generates a graphical user interface called GlobalViewer® that allows users to monitor and control all of the A/V devices contained within the GC configuration file.
When the configuration file is created, one or more of the IP Link controllers on the network can be designated as a GlobalViewer host device.
The completed configuration file is uploaded to the host device(s). The GlobalViewer interface can then be launched by opening an Internet browser on a local PC and entering the host device’s IP address in the browser's Address field.
Global Configurator application screen
1-4 IPL T S Series Interfaces • Introduction
Using GC you can configure a single room controller, or create a web-based remote monitoring system for hundreds of A/V devices in multiple locations.
You may configure an IPL T S Series interface using GC without having the device physically connected to the A/V network.
CUse Global Configurator version 2.2 or later. Update all PCs and devices running earlier versions of GC.
The minimum system requirements for the PC on which you install Global Configurator include:
•Intel® Pentium® III 1 GHz processor
•Microsoft® Windows® NT SP4, Windows 2000 SP2, or Windows XP SP2
•Microsoft Internet Explorer® 6.0 with ActiveX enabled
NIf ActiveX is not enabled, you may get a prompt from the browser, or you will see the "Please wait while the files are loading..." message in the GlobalViewer control page.
•Microsoft Windows Script 5.6
•512 MB of RAM
•50 MB of available hard disk space
•A network connection with a minimum data transfer rate of 10 Mbps; however, 100 Mbps is recommended.
