Installing the Power Module, Cables and AAPs
Each TLP 350CV includes pass-through AAPs and a power module. A wide range of passive
AAPs are also available allowing direct connection of cables from the top and underneath
the AAPs. See www.extron.com for passive AAP options.
Shelf brackets are available in two-space and three-space configurations. Depending upon
the configuration, the enclosure can support up to nine AAPs. The power module takes
two (US) or three (Int’l) AAP spaces leaving seven (US) or six (Int’l) spaces for passive or
pass-through AAPs.
TIP: The recommended way to install the cables and AAPs is to populate the shelf
brackets with pass-through and passive AAP plates outside the enclosure as
shown below, then install the populated AAP shelf assembly into the enclosure.
Assemble AAP Brackets and AAPs
Pass-through AAP's provide direct cable connection and must have the cable installed as
they are being mounted on the shelf brackets.
Each AAP shelf assembly consists of a set of shelf brackets and a number of cable
pass-through and passive AAPs. Decide the location of each AAP prior to assembling the
AAP shelf.

Configuration
Software
The section provides information on the following topics:
zConguration and Control Software
zInstalling Software
zUsing the TouchLink Panel Web Pages
zUsing GUI Congurator
zUsing Global Congurator
Configuration and Control Software
Designing a graphical user interface (GUI) for the TouchLink panel takes two steps:
zDesign the layout of the text and graphics. (See Using GUI Congurator on page 22.)
zAssign functions to the text and graphics. (See Using Global Congurator on page 27.)
The GUI Configurator Software is a Windows-based application. The interface is designed
either by customizing an existing template or by designing an entirely new interface. GUI
Configurator offers several templates that are designed to manage control system devices.
Once the GUI has been designed on a PC, the project is saved, built, and uploaded to the
TouchLink panel to verify what it looks like on the screen. It is then imported from the TLP
unit to Global Configurator where control functions are assigned to the text and graphic
items in the layout. After assigning the control functions, the project is rebuilt and uploaded
to the controller.
These two programs provide versatility and adaptability for configuration and control of an
A/V system as it grows and evolves.
Both are included on the disc provided with the TLP 350CV and are also available free on the
Extron website at www.extron.com. Each contains an extensive help file to guide project
development.
Installing Software
GUI Configurator and Global Configurator Installation
NOTE: You must use Global Configurator 3.0.4 or a later version and
