Global Configurator
Global Configurator (GC) is a software application that gives you
the ability to create a single configuration file 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, or 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; all of the equipment that is used to generate an
audio and video presentation.
Once a global configuration file is built, GC then generates a
graphical user interface called GlobalViewer
monitor and control all of the A/V devices contained within the GC
configuration file.
When the configuration file is created, one or more of the IP Link
controllers on the network can be designated as a GlobalViewer host
device.
The completed configuration file is uploaded to the host devices. The
GlobalViewer interface can then be launched by opening an Internet
browser on a local PC and entering the IP address of the host device
in the Address field of the browser.

IPL T Series Reset Mode Summary
The IPL T controller reverts to the factory default
firmware. Event scripting does not start if the unit is
powered on in this mode. All user files and settings
(such as drivers, adjustments, and IP settings) are
maintained.
N If you do not want to update firmware, or you
performed a mode 1 reset by mistake, cycle power to the
unit to return to the firmware version that was running
prior to the mode 1 reset. Use the 0Q SIS command to
confirm that the factory default firmware is no longer
running (look for asterisks following the version number.)
The connected COM port becomes a console port to
send SIS commands. Scripting remains on.
Mode 3 turns events on or off. If the events are
currently stopped following the momentary press, the
Power LED flashes twice, indicating the starting of
events. If the events are currently running following
the momentary press, the Power LED flashes three
times indicating the stopping of events.
Mode 4
• Enables ARP capability.
• Sets the IP address back to factory default
(192.168.254.254).
• Sets the subnet back to factory default.
• Sets the default gateway address to the factory default.
• Sets port mapping back to factory default.
• Turns DHCP off.
• Turns events off.
Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory defaults
(except the firmware).
• Does everything mode 4 does.
• Clears driver-port associations and port
configurations (IR/RS-232).
• Removes button/touchpanel configurations.
• Resets all IP options.
• Removes scheduling settings.
• Removes/clears all files from the IPL T controller.

Configuring for Network Communication
To function together, both the PC and the IPL T controller must be
configured correctly. The PC must be network-capable with the
proper protocols and the IPL T controller must be set up so that it can
be connected to a LAN or other network.
When you power on the IPL T controller for the first time, there are
several ways to set up the IP address:
Use the Global Configurator software — Refer to the Global
Configurator Help file.
Use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) — See the instructions
that follow.
Use a Web browser — Refer to the IPL T Series User Guide,
IPL T SFI244 User Guide, or IPL T CR48 User Guide, depending on
the controller.
Use SIS (Simple Instruction Set™) commands via Telnet — Refer to
the IPL T Series User Guide, IPL T SFI244 User Guide, or
IPL T CR48 User Guide, depending on the controller.
The first time you connect a PC to an IPL T controller via IP, you may
need to temporarily change the IP settings of the PC in order to
communicate with the controller. That process is described in the
IPL T Series User Guide, IPL T SFI244 User Guide, and IPL T CR48 User
Guide.
18 IPL T Series • Setup
Then, you must change the default settings of the controller (IP
address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator name and
password) in order to use the controller on an intranet (LAN) or
on the Internet. After you have set up the IPL T controller for
network communication, you can reset the PC to its original network
configuration.
NOTE: Both the computer and the IPL T controller must be
connected to the same subnet on a LAN (using a
straight-through cable). Alternatively, you can use a
crossover Ethernet cable to connect the controller directly
to the network adapter card of the computer.
Use ARP to configure the IP address as follows:
1. Obtain a valid IP address for the IPL T controller from the network
administrator.
2. Obtain the MAC address of the IPL T controller from the label on
its rear panel. The MAC address should have this format:
00-05-A6-xx-xx-xx.
3. If the IPL T controller has never been configured and is still set
for factory defaults, go to step 4. If not, perform a Mode 4 system
reset. See Resetting the Controller for more information.
CAUTION: The IPL T controller must be configured with
the factory default IP address (192.168.254.254)
before the ARP command is executed, as
described in the following steps.
4. On the PC, access the command prompt, then execute the arp -s
command. Enter the desired new IP address for the controller and
the MAC address (located on the rear panel of the controller). For
example:
arp -s 10.13.170.15 00-05-A6-00-0A-90
Figure 14. Executing the ARP Command
19IPL T Series • Setup
5. Execute a ping command by typing ping followed by a space and
the new IP address at the command prompt. For example:
ping 10.13.170.15
After issuing this command, the controller changes to the new
address and starts responding to the ping requests, as described.
You must ping the IPL T controller in order for the IP address
change to take place.
Figure 15. Controller Response to a Ping Request
You can reconnect using either Telnet or a Web browser to verify
that the update was successful.
6. After verifying that the change was successful, enter and issue the
Arp -d command at the command prompt. For example:
arp -d 10.13.170.15 removes the 10.13.170.15 from the ARP
table
- or -
arp -d* removes all static IP addresses from the ARP table.
Configuring the IPL T Series with Global Configurator
After you have installed the Global Configurator (GC) software on the
PC and downloaded device drivers, do the following:
1. Create a GC project file.
2. Configure the IPL T Series controller and other devices.
3. Launch the GlobalViewer® interface.
4. Test the configuration and the system.
Refer to the Global Configurator Help file for these procedures.
The Global Configurator Help file includes an introduction to the
software and a section on how to start a Global Configurator project.
It also features step-by-step instructions on the basic tasks involved in
configuring an IPL T controller.
If you have questions during installation and setup, you can call the
Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline or the Extron S3 Control
Systems Support Hotline.
