IPL T CR48 • Connection and Conguration

Connection and Conﬁguration, cont’d

3-4

1. Connect one end of the relay cable to a 8-pole captive

screw connector, wired appropriately, and plug it into the

rear panel relay port connector of the interface unit.

2. Connect the other end of the relay cable to the device

which will be activated when the triggering signal is

received.

Conﬁguring the Hardware

To function together properly, both the controlling PC and

the IPL T CR48 must be congured correctly. The PC must be

network-capable, with the proper protocols installed and the

hardware congured correctly. The IPL T CR48 must be set to

recognize and accept commands and pass them through to the

projector lift, screen lift or other controlled device.

PC conﬁguration

This manual assumes that you have a Windows

PC equipped

with an operating network adapter. To allow your PC to work

with Extron’s Ethernet-controlled products, the TCP/IP protocol

must be installed and properly congured.

For use on an existing Ethernet LAN intranet, your network

administrator can provide you with a unique IP address or

conrm whether you need to set up the IPL T CR48 unit for

DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration protocol) to have an

address assigned automatically when you sign on.

IPL T CR48 interface conﬁguration

When you power on the IPL T CR48 unit for the rst time, there

are two ways to set up the IP address:

1. Use the ARP command method.

2. Use the direct PC method.

The default Web pages that are pre-loaded on the IPL T CR48

provide a way to recongure the IPL T unit once it has an

active network connection with IP access. These Web pages

are compatible with Netscape

Navigator (version 6.0 or

higher), or Microsoft

Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher).

See “Communication with the Interface” in chapter 4 for

information on accessing and conguring the interface.

Once the unit has been recongured, an Ethernet (intranet or

Internet) connection can subsequently be used to contact or

control it. Refer to “Ethernet connection” earlier in this chapter

for additional information.
