TLI Pro 101 • Setup Guide

Overview

The Extron TLI Pro 101 is a TouchLink® Interface that works with any Extron IP Link® Pro control processor, to allow a third party touchscreen display to be used as a point of control within an Extron Pro Series control system. The scaled output supports displays from 800x600 to 1920x1200, as well as HDTV 1080p/60. This guide provides instructions for experienced installers to mount and install a TLIPro 101 and to create a basic conguration. For more complete instructions, see the TLIPro 101 User Guide, at www.extron.com.

Setup Checklist

Get Ready

 Download and install the latest version of the following software:

Global Configurator Professional or Global Configurator Plus — for setting up and conguring the control processor and touchpanel.

GUI Designer — for designing layouts for Extron TouchLink® Pro touchpanels and third party touch interfaces.

Both software programs are available from www.extron.com.

 Obtain the following network information from your network administrator:

 DHCP status (on or off). If DHCP is off, you will also require

 IP address  Subnet mask  Gateway

 User name — by default these are either admin or user.

 Passwords — by default these are either extron (for admin) or the eld is left blank (for user).

 Make a note of the interface MAC address.

Mount and Cable All Devices

ATTENTION: Do not power on the TLI Pro 101 or control processors until you have read the Attention in the Power Supply

section of the TLI Pro 101 User Guide or the IPL Pro User Guide.

ATTENTION: Ne branchez pas le TLI Pro 101 ou les contrôleurs avant d’avoir lu la mise en garde dans la section «sources

d’alimentation» du TLI Pro 101 UserGuide ou du IPLProUserGuide.

 Mount the units. Stand the TLI Pro 101 on a convenient surface, mount it in a standard rack, or use an under-table mounting

kit (see the TLIPro 101 User Guide, at www.extron.com). To mount the third-party touchpanel follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

pressed. To use a normal monitor, instead of a touchscreen, connect a mouse to the TLI Pro 101 USB connection. Use the mouse to click on screen icons.

 Connect power cords and power on all devices.

Set up the TLI Pro 101 for Network Communication

 Connect the PC that you will use for setup, the control processor, and TLI Pro 101 on the same Ethernet subnetwork.
