About Global Congurator (GC)
What It Does
Global Configurator is the software tool for setting up an IPCP and the system it controls. Global Configurator:
• Loads device drivers and uses commands from them as you desire for controlling other products
• Creates a single configuration file containing all the settings for the IPCP and the products with which it interacts in the AV
system
• Generates a graphical user interface called GlobalViewer that is uploaded to the IPCP (a GlobalViewer host device) along with
the completed configuration and can be accessed as a web page
Using GlobalViewer, users can manage, monitor, and control Extron and third-party equipment such as projectors, displays,
computer monitors, VCRs, and DVD players.
What To Set Up in GC
Use GC software to create a configuration that tells the IPCP how its ports will function; how to control other products; which
touchpanels to interact with; what to monitor; when to do things; and whom to notify, how, and under what circumstances.
