IPCP505 • Setup Guide

The Extron IPCP505 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 IPCP505 is configured using the free Extron Global Configurator (GC) software. The IPCP505 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.

2. Obtain IP address and subnet mask information for the IPCP from the network administrator. 3. Cable devices to the IPCP 505 (see Cabling and Features on page 2), connect touchpanels to the same network as the IPCP, then power on all the devices. 4. Connect the IPCP to a network, power it on, and use ARP (see Network Configuration Using ARP below) to set the IP address for the unit. 5. Use GUI Configurator to set up TLP touchpanels.

IPCP 505 • Setup Guide (Continued) Mounting Securely mount the IPCP and other devices and attach cables using the preceding wiring section as a guide. Optional 1U rack shelves (such as the RSU 129 1U 9.5" Deep Universal Rack Shelf and the RSB 129 1U 9.5" Deep Basic Rack Shelf) are available for use with the IPCP. Read the instructions and UL guidelines that come with the rack shelf or mounting kit for installation procedures.
