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 qualied 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 l 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 qualié. Aucun des éléments internes ne peut être
réparé par l’utilisateur. An 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 orices, 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

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 of the
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 — A/V 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
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.
IPL T SF Series Interfaces • Introduction
You may congure an IPL T SF Series interface using GC
without having the device physically connected to the A/V
network.
C
System requirements
The minimum system requirements for the PC on which you
