mantenimiento (o cambio de partes) que se desean
destac ar en el c ontenido de la docume ntación
suministrada con los equipos.
Este símbolo se utiliza para advertir al usuario sobre
la presencia de elementos con voltaje peligroso sin
protección aislante, que puedan encontrarse dentro
de la caja o alojamiento del producto, y que puedan
representar riesgo de electrocución.
Precaucion
Leer las instrucciones • Leer y analizar todas las instrucciones de operación y
seguridad, antes de usar el equipo.
Conservar las instrucciones • Conservar las instrucciones de seguridad para
futura consulta.
Obedecer las advertencias • Todas las advertencias e instrucciones marcadas
en el equipo o en la documentación del usuario, deben ser obedecidas.
Evitar el uso de accesorios • No usar herramientas o accesorios que no

implicar riesgos.
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.
Servicing • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. To prevent the risk of shock, do not attempt to service
this equipment yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Slots and openings • If the equipment has slots or holes in the enclosure, these are
provided to prevent overheating of sensitive components inside. These openings
must never be blocked by other objects.
Lithium battery • There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace it only with the same or equivalent type recommended by
the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Avertissement
Alimentations• Ne faire fonctionner ce matériel qu’avec la source d’alimentation
indiquée sur l’appareil. Ce matériel doit être utilisé avec une alimentation principale
comportant un fil de terre (neutre). Le troisième contact (de mise à la terre) constitue
un dispositif de sécurité : n’essayez pas de la contourner ni de la désactiver.
Déconnexion de l’alimentation• Pour mettre le matériel hors tension sans danger,
déconnectez tous les cordons d’alimentation de l’arrière de l’appareil ou du module
d’alimentation de bureau (s’il est amovible) ou encore de la prise secteur.
Protection du cordon d’alimentation • Acheminer les cordons d’alimentation de
manière à ce que personne ne risque de marcher dessus et à ce qu’ils ne soient pas
écrasés ou pincés par des objets.
Réparation-maintenance • Faire exécuter toutes les interventions de réparation-
maintenance par un technicien qualifié. Aucun des éléments internes ne peut être
réparé par l’utilisateur. Afin d’éviter tout danger d’électrocution, l’utilisateur ne doit
pas essayer de procéder lui-même à ces opérations car l’ouverture ou le retrait des
couvercles risquent de l’exposer à de hautes tensions et autres dangers.
Fentes et orices • Si le boîtier de l’appareil comporte des fentes ou des orifices, ceux-ci
servent à empêcher les composants internes sensibles de surchauffer. Ces ouvertures
ne doivent jamais être bloquées par des objets.
Lithium Batterie • Il a danger d’explosion s’ll y a remplacment incorrect de la batterie.
Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du meme type ou d’un ype equivalent
recommande par le constructeur. Mettre au reut les batteries usagees conformement
aux instructions du fabricant.
Vorsicht
Stromquellen • Dieses Gerät sollte nur über die auf dem Produkt angegebene
Stromquelle betrieben werden. Dieses Gerät wurde für eine Verwendung mit einer
Hauptstromleitung mit einem geerdeten (neutralen) Leiter konzipiert. Der dritte
Kontakt ist für einen Erdanschluß, und stellt eine Sicherheitsfunktion dar. Diese
sollte nicht umgangen oder außer Betrieb gesetzt werden.
Stromunterbrechung • Um das Gerät auf sichere Weise vom Netz zu trennen, sollten
Sie alle Netzkabel aus der Rückseite des Gerätes, aus der externen Stomversorgung
(falls dies möglich ist) oder aus der Wandsteckdose ziehen.
Schutz des Netzkabels • Netzkabel sollten stets so verlegt werden, daß sie nicht im
Weg liegen und niemand darauf treten kann oder Objekte darauf- oder unmittelbar
dagegengestellt werden können.
Wartung • Alle Wartungsmaßnahmen sollten nur von qualiziertem Servicepersonal
durchgeführt werden. Die internen Komponenten des Gerätes sind wartungsfrei.
Zur Vermeidung eines elektrischen Schocks versuchen Sie in keinem Fall, dieses
Gerät selbst öffnen, da beim Entfernen der Abdeckungen die Gefahr eines
elektrischen Schlags und/oder andere Gefahren bestehen.
Schlitze und Öffnungen • Wenn das Gerät Schlitze oder Löcher im Gehäuse aufweist,
dienen diese zur Vermeidung einer Überhitzung der empfindlichen Teile im
Inneren. Diese Öffnungen dürfen niemals von anderen Objekten blockiert werden.
Litium-Batterie • Explosionsgefahr, falls die Batterie nicht richtig ersetzt
wird. Ersetzen Sie verbrauchte Batterien nur durch den gleichen oder einen
vergleichbaren Batterietyp, der auch vom Hersteller empfohlen wird. Entsorgen Sie
verbrauchte Batterien bitte gemäß den Herstelleranweisungen.
Advertencia
Alimentación eléctrica • Este equipo debe conectarse únicamente a la fuente/tipo
de alimentación eléctrica indicada en el mismo. La alimentación eléctrica de este
equipo debe provenir de un sistema de distribución general con conductor neutro
a tierra. La tercera pata (puesta a tierra) es una medida de seguridad, no puentearia
ni eliminaria.
Desconexión de alimentación eléctrica • Para desconectar con seguridad la acometida
de alimentación eléctrica al equipo, desenchufar todos los cables de alimentación
en el panel trasero del equipo, o desenchufar el módulo de alimentación (si fuera
independiente), o desenchufar el cable del receptáculo de la pared.
Protección del cables de alimentación • Los cables de alimentación eléctrica se deben
instalar en lugares donde no sean pisados ni apretados por objetos que se puedan
apoyar sobre ellos.
Reparaciones/mantenimiento • Solicitar siempre los servicios técnicos de personal
calificado. En el interior no hay partes a las que el usuario deba acceder. Para evitar
riesgo de electrocución, no intentar personalmente la reparación/mantenimiento
de este equipo, ya que al abrir o extraer las tapas puede quedar expuesto a voltajes
peligrosos u otros riesgos.
Ranuras y aberturas • Si el equipo posee ranuras o orificios en su caja/alojamiento,
es para evitar el sobrecalientamiento de componentes internos sensibles. Estas
aberturas nunca se deben obstruir con otros objetos.
Batería de litio •
Existe riesgo de explosión si esta batería se coloca en la posición
incorrecta. Cambiar esta batería únicamente con el mismo tipo (o su equivalente)
recomendado por el fabricante. Desachar las baterías usadas siguiendo las
instrucciones del fabricante.

Introduction, cont’d
Global Configurator
Global Congurator (GC) is a software application that gives
users the ability to create a single conguration 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" conguration 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 conguration le.
When the conguration le is created, one or more of the IP Link
controllers on the network can be designated as a GlobalViewer
host device.
The completed conguration 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.

Global Configurator application screen
IPL T S Series Interfaces • Introduction
Using GC you can congure a single room controller, or create
a web-based remote monitoring system for hundreds of A/V
devices in multiple locations.
You may congure an IPL T S Series interface using GC without
having the device physically connected to the A/V network.
C
