Precautions

Safety Instructions • English

This symbol is intended to alert the user of important operatingandmaintenance(servicing)instructionsin the literature provided with the equipment.

This symbol is intended to alert the user of the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may present a risk of electric shock.

Caution

Read Instructions • Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before using the equipment.

Retain Instructions • The safety instructions should be kept for future reference.

Follow Warnings • Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the equipment or in the user information.

Avoid Attachments • Do not use tools or attachments that are not recommended by the equipment manufacturer because they may be hazardous.

Warning

Power sources • This equipment should be operated only from the power source indicated on the product. This equipment is intended to be used with a main power system with a grounded (neutral) conductor. The third (grounding) pin is a safety feature, do not attempt to bypass or disable it.

Power disconnection • To remove power from the equipment safely, remove all power cords from the rear of the equipment, or the desktop power module (if detachable), or from the power source receptacle (wall plug).

Power cord protection • Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.

About the IPL T PC1

The Extron IPL T PC1 and IPL T PC1i are Extron IP Link Power Control Interfaces. They are Ethernet-based power management devices that control and schedule AC power on and off. The PC1 and PC1i ports include a LAN port, a bidirectional RS-232 port, an IR output port, and a contact closure input port, providing integration of power control, serial device control, IR device control, and input sensing in a single device that can be easily mounted behind a display device or kiosk.

The PC1 can be used as a stand-alone control device or as one of many nodes in a distributed control system environment. The PC1 has its own Web pages, stored in flash memory.

The IPL T PC1i is an international version, configured for

220 VAC. Unless otherwise specified, “IPL T PC1” and “PC1” refer to both product versions throughout this guide.

A typical IPL T PC1 Interface application

1-2 IPL T PC1 • Introduction

About Global Configurator

Global Configurator (GC) is a software application that gives you the ability to create a single configuration file of all of the controlled devices on an 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 Ethernet port for network connectivity to serial, contact input, and infrared (IR) ports to communicate with A/V devices.

Controlled devices — Audio/video products, such as video projectors, displays, VCRs, DVD players, document

cameras, projector screens, and room lighting systems — all of the equipment that is used to generate an audio/video presentation.

Once a "global" configuration file is built, GC2.3 then generates a graphical user interface called GlobalViewer that allows you to monitor and control all of the A/V devices contained within the GC2.3 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). You can then launch the GlobalViewer interface by opening an Internet browser on a local PC and entering the host device’s IP address in the browser address field.

Global Configurator application screen example

IPL T PC1 • Introduction

1-3

Introduction, cont’d

Using GC2.3, 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 PC1 interface using GC2.3 without having the device physically connected to the A/V network.

CUse Global Configurator version 2.3 or later. Update all PCs and devices running earlier versions of GC.

System requirements

The minimum system requirements for the PC on which you install Global Configurator include:

Intel® Pentium® III 1 GHz processor

NDepending on your computer settings, if ActiveX is not enabled, one of the following occurs:

The system loads ActiveX automatically.

The browser displays a prompt asking you if you want ActiveX to be loaded.

The GlobalViewer control page does not open until you load ActiveX manually.

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.
