Global Conﬁgurator

Global Congurator (GC) is a software application that gives users the ability to create a single conguration le 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 Ethernet port for network connectivity, and serial, 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" conguration le 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 conguration le.

When the conguration le is created, one or more of the IP Link controllers on the network can be designated as a GlobalViewer host device.

The completed conguration le 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 eld.

1-4

Global Conﬁgurator application screen

IPL T S Series Interfaces • Introduction

Using GC you can congure a single room controller, or create a web-based remote monitoring system for hundreds of A/V devices in multiple locations.

You may congure an IPL T S Series interface using GC without having the device physically connected to the A/V network.

Building and Uploading a GC File

Before a Global Conguration (GC) le is active in the GlobalViewer interface, the GC le must be “built” and “uploaded” to a GlobalViewer host device.

The “build” process compiles all of the conguration data you have entered into the GC le for each A/V network device.

The “upload” process delivers the built (compiled) le to the GlobalViewer host device.

After the GC le has been uploaded to a host device, you can launch the GlobalViewer interface by entering the host device’s IP address in the address eld of an Internet browser.

Step eleven: build the Global Conﬁgurator ﬁle

There are two Build commands:

• BuildAllConfigurations— compiles conguration data for all devices in the GC le, including data for devices previously uploaded to a GlobalViewer host device.

• BuildChangedConfigurations — compiles conguration data only for devices that have been added or changed since the previous Build cycle.

To initiate a "Build (all)” process:

1. Click Build > Build All Configurations...

click the Build All Configurations icon.

A Please Wait. Building Conguration(s)... dialog box

opens and displays a progress bar while the GC le is being built.
