IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series • Introduction1
About the IPCPProxiSeries
The IPCPProxiSeries 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 IPCPPro550xi
and IPCPPro555Qxi) also have the ability to power devices that accept 12VDC.
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.
The IPCPProPCS1xi 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. IPCPProPCS1xi
CAUTION: This product is intended for indoor use only.
ATTENTION : Ce produit est exclusivement adapté à un usage intérieur.
NOTE: The IPCPProPCS1xi is intended to be used with Extron Electronics products
only.
An IPCPProxiSeries control processor is the centerpiece of a control system that features
Extron TouchLinkPro Touchpanels, or Extron eBUS button panels connected to the eBUS
port on the control processor. The IPCP supports multiple TouchLinkPro touchpanels over
a standard Ethernet network. The touchpanels provide a convenient interface for controlling
IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series • Introduction2
Features
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
TouchLinkPro touchpanel or third-party touch interface that is used with the IPCP.
Use the Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage the IPCPProxi control processor
and other Extron control products. Configure the control processor using GCProfessional
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 TouchLinkPro touchpanels.
The IPCPProxiSeries integrates seamlessly with Extron GlobalViewer Enterprise software
and Extron Control for Web, iOS, and Android for remote control applications.
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.
• IPCPProxi models — 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of flash memory
• IPCPProQxi 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 IPCPProxi 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 12VDC power
output, or a port for volume control of an Extron audio amplifier.
• The IPCPProPCS1xi includes one switched AC power output port for power control
of a connected device.
Several mounting options
• The IPCPPro 355DRQ xi can be mounted to a standard 35mm × 7.5mm DIN rail.
• 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 IPCPPro360Q xi, IPCPPro550xi, and IPCPPro555Q xi include an internal
power supply that accepts 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input.
• Other models include a 12VDC external power supply that accepts 100-240 VAC,
50-60 Hz input.
• Some models offer PoE+ output on the LAN or AVLAN ports.
IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series • Introduction3
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 IPCPPro350xi and IPCPPro360Qxi include an
unmanaged threeport 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
(IPCPPro 255Qxi, IPCPPro 355DRQxi, IPCPPro360Qxi, IPCPPro555Qxi) 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

IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series • Introduction7
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 GlobalConfigurator. 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
IRLearnerPro 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 GCProfessional and GCPlus Modes)
Global Configurator:
• Loads device drivers for monitoring the status of and controlling devices within the AV
system.
• Uploads GUIDesigner 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
GlobalScripter as an alternative to Global Configurator. Global Scripter is an integrated
programming development environment for Extron IPLinkPro, TouchLinkPro, 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/.
IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series • Introduction8
About Additional Software Used to Deploy Configurations from LAN to
Products on an AVLAN
Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS), XTPConfigurator, and DSPConfigurator
provide the ability to configure devices connected to the AV LAN of an IPCPPro 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
AVLAN
• Configure various devices found on the AVLAN
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
AVLAN.
PC System Requirements

Setup Checklist: How to Proceed With Installation
Get Ready
Familiarize yourself with the features of the control processor (see Front Panel
Features on page14 and Ports, Addressing, and Connections on page19)
and of any TouchLinkPro 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
addressfor any IPCPProQxi model with AV LAN ports if the ports are currently set
to the default IP addresses
GUI Designer software — for designing layouts for Extron TouchLinkPro
touchpanels and third-party touch interfaces
IPLinkPro 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 page54).
IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series • Hardware Features and Installation10
Obtain network information for the unit from the network administrator. You need the
following details for each IPLinkPro device:
DHCP setting (on or off) Gateway IP address
Device (IPCPPro, TouchLinkPro, IPLPro) LAN IPaddress Username
AVLAN IPaddress (for models with AVLAN)
Subnet mask
Write down the MAC address of each network interface on each IPLinkPro 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 page61 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 page62) from your IT
department.
Mount and Cable All Devices
Mount the unit to a rack or furniture (see Mounting the IPCPPro xi Series on
page17).
Cable devices to the control processor (see Ports, Addressing, and Connections
starting on page19).
Connect power cords and power on all the devices.
Passwords
Set Up the Control Processor, Touchpanels, and Network Button Panels for
Network Communication
For models without AVLAN 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 (Ethernet)
connectors and LEDs on page29.
For models with AVLAN 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 AVLAN connections, see AV LAN connectors and
LEDs on page29.
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 page13).
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 Q xi and xi Series • Hardware Features and Installation11
Configure or Program the Control Processor, Touchpanels, and
Network Button Panels
If TouchLinkPro touchpanels are part of the system, start and use GUIDesigner
to design, save, and build the graphical user interface (GUI) layout for the
touchpanels (see the GUIDesigner 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 IPCPProQxi 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 GCProfessional or GCPlus 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.
IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series • Hardware Features and Installation12
Add touchpanels and set them up:
Upload the GUI configuration to the Global Scripter project.
Program functions, monitors, or schedules to the touchpanels and their
buttons.

devices.
Test and Troubleshoot
Test the system (see the Troubleshooting section starting on page57 for an outline
of items to check during system troubleshooting).
Make adjustments to wiring or configuration as needed.
Network Communication Setup
Network setup is essential prior to configuration. Use the flowchart as a general guide to
setting up the control processor for network use.
Network Communication Setup
Connect the PC and the LAN port or AV LAN
port of the control processor to
the same network.
Apply power to all devices.
Open the Toolbelt software from within
Global Congurator (GC Professional or
GC Plus mode) or as the stand-alone
Toolbelt displays a list of all Extron control
devices connected to the network.
Using the MAC address, locate the desired
control processor in the list and select it.
(LAN, or LAN and AV LAN), use the Set IP
Toolbelt
feature to enter the IP address and
subnet address, then congure other
application.
Start Device Discovery.
For each network interface
feature in Toolbelt or use the
Manage > Network Settings tab
network settings as needed.
