About the TLP Pro 300M

The Extron TLP Pro 300M is a 3.5-inch, wall-mounted touchpanel with an 320x480 LCD touchscreen. The TLP Pro 300M works with any Extron IP Link Pro control processor and is ideal for any AV application requiring a compact touchpanel and a fully customizable interface.
The touchpanel mounts in a portrait orientation to a standard 1-gang electrical box (see
Mounting on page 25).
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the touchpanel to receive power and communications over a single Ethernet cable.
The screen layout is designed with the Extron GUI Designer software. The functions are assigned to the screen objects with the Extron Global Configurator Plus and Professional software or Global Scripter. The user can define the graphics and the functions associated with those graphics, providing versatility and adaptability to the configuration and control of an AV system.
A motion sensor, light sensor, and a speaker provide sleep mode, auto dimming, and audible feedback.

Features

3.5-inch LCD touchscreen — with 320x480 resolution and 18-bit color depth. Gorilla Glass
is stronger and more scratch-resistant than standard glass, while maintaining touch sensitivity, color saturation, and brightness.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates

Extron TouchLink Pro products ship with factory-installed SSL certificates created by Extron. If you want or are required to use a different SSL certificate at your installation site, then you can use system utilities in the Toolbelt software to change the SSL certificate at any time. The Toolbelt Help File provides instructions on how to apply an SSL certificate.
NOTES:
You must run Toolbelt as an administrator.
Some certificates require a passphrase that is created when the certificate is created.
If a passphrase is required, you must enter that passphrase before uploading and applying the certificate.
These devices support standard OpenSSL certificate encodings such as .pem (Privacy­enhanced Electronic Mail) and .der (Distinguished Encoding Rules) file types. PEM file types are ASCII encoded and are the required format for uploading to the Extron control product. DER file types are binary encoded and can typically have several file extension variations, such as .crt and .cer. There are many standard tools that can convert from DER to PEM file encodings if needed.
NOTE: A DER format file must be converted to PEM encoding before uploading it to the
button panel, control processor, or collaboration receiver.
To properly create the certificate for uploading to Extron control devices, ensure that the certificate file meets the following requirements:
contains X.509 certificate information
contains public and private keys
uses PEM encoding
NOTE: ITU-T standard X.509 covers aspects of public key encryption, digital
cryptography, certificates, and validation.
Contact your IT administrator for more information on what tools and policies are required to obtain or create the SSL certificate and, if necessary, the corresponding passphrase.

IEEE 802.1X Certificates

IEEE 802.1X is a standard that enables port-based network access control via an authentication server. The protocol requires that all devices must be authenticated before gaining privileges to access the secure part of the network.
The Extron implementation of 802.1X supports PEAP - MSCHAPV2 and EAP - TLS methods of authentication. This section of the guide details the Certificate File Requirements and the Private Key File Requirements to be used in the system.
Extron provides resources for learning about 802.1X implementation:
The Extron 802.1X Technology Reference Guide, available from www.extron.com, is the
primary resource for background information, system planning, topology, and how to set up these systems.
The Toolbelt Help file provides detailed step-by-step information on using the software to
set up 802.1X for IP Link Pro control systems and on troubleshooting.
The 802.1X Primer white paper, also available from www.extron.com, provides a general
overview of the protocol and its use within a control system.
NOTES:
You must run Toolbelt as an administrator.
Machine certificates require a private key file, which can be encrypted.

Certificate File Requirements

PEM (Privacy-enhanced Electronic Mail) file types are ASCII encoded, and they are the required format for 802.1X authentication for the TouchLink Pro control systems. DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) file types are binary encoded and can typically have several file extension variations, such as .crt and .cer.
NOTE: DER encoded files (files with .der, .crt, or .cer extensions that are encoded in DER
binary format) must be converted to a PEM encoded file type (.pem) before being used for authentication.
DER encoded certificates must be converted to PEM encoding using a third-party tool. Contact your IT administrator for more information on required tools.
To create the 802.1X security certificate for uploading to Extron TouchLink Pro control systems, ensure that the certificate file meets the following requirements:
It contains X.509 certificate information.
It contains a private key (for machine certificates only).
It is PEM encoded.
It has a file extension that is .crt or .pem
Its file name consists of the following types of valid characters:
Alphanumerical (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) characters
Some special characters (colon [:], underscore [_], and hyphen [-])
NOTE: Spaces are not permitted anywhere in the name.

Private Key File Requirements

Private key files are required only when employing machine certificates. Follow these requirements for creating a private key:
Its file name consists of the following types of valid characters:
Alphanumerical (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) characters
Some special characters (colon [:], underscore [_], and hyphen [-])
It has a file extension that is .key or .pem.
It can have optional encryption (via password or passphrase).
