IR and RS-232 Device Control
The IPCP must be configured in one of the following ways before it will send commands to a
projector, display, or source device:
• An IR or an RS-232 driver file can be installed from a disk, downloaded from the Extron
website (www.extron.com), or downloaded from the extensive Extron driver library
using the driver subscription feature within Global Configurator. The driver is saved to a
folder and uploaded to the IPCP via Global Configurator.
• RS-232 command strings can be entered directly from a host computer using Global
Configurator.
• IR commands can be entered directly from an IR remote control through IR learning and
the Extron IR Learner software to create a driver that the IPCP can use. IR learning is
seldom needed, but it is convenient for installing new or updated commands into the
IPCP505 in the field in the rare cases when a driver is not already available from Extron.
See the Global Configurator Help file or the IR Learner Help file (which comes with the
software) for details on setting up the IPCP and for downloading, programming, or learning
device control commands.
