• Extron Router Support
The ScreenPRO-II Controller supports Extron routers enabled with Ethernet.

inputs and outputs to gain full access to the router.

Note
Ensure that you set the router’s IP address to work with the
ScreenPRO-II Controller’s
192.168.0.xxx standard (e.g.,
192.168.0.245). Any 192.168.0.xxx address will work
provided it does not conflict with the Controller, VPs or other
network routers and devices.
