IPCP505 • Setup Guide
The Extron IPCP505 IP Link® Control Processor integrates Ethernet connection into AV systems to allow users to remotely
control, monitor, and troubleshoot AV equipment, including display devices and switchers. It includes an embedded web server,
multiple bidirectional serial ports, switched low voltage power output ports, relays, and configurable flex I/O ports for use in
applications that require control and monitoring of multiple devices within a large-scale AV system.
The IPCP505 is configured using the free Extron Global Configurator (GC) software. The IPCP505 integrates seamlessly with
Extron GlobalViewer® Enterprise (GVE) software and the free GlobalViewer web-based AV resource management for remote
control applications. The IPCP 505 supports multiple TouchLink® touchpanel interfaces over a standard Ethernet network. Global
Configurator and other useful software applications are available at www.extron.com.
