Ports Overview

Flex I/O Ports

Extron ﬂex I/O ports are conﬁgurable input or output ports designed to provide

connectivity to various devices such as motion detectors, alarms, lights, LEDs, buttons,

photo (light) sensors, temperature sensors, or relays. All ﬂex I/O ports are tied to a

common ground, but can be individually conﬁgured to operate in one of three different

modes:

• Digital Input

• Digital Output

• Analog Input

These ports can be conﬁgured by using the default Web pages of the IPL T SFI244 Web

Server (see ﬁgure 15; also see Establishing or changing system or port settings) or by

dynamically using the Simple Instruction Set

™

commands (see Programmer’s Guide for

the Telnet and Web Browser) via Telnet, scripts, or Web pages.
