IPL T S2 to work with legacy Extron
products by downloading pre-configured
Web pages from the Extron Web site

upgrades to the IPL T S2 are developed,
they can be downloaded with the latest

Easy Setup
The two bi-directional serial ports on the
IPL T S2 can be used as direct connections
to control two independent devices
simultaneously or as pass-through
connections within a system. Housed in a
small and rugged quarter rack, 1U high
enclosure, the IPL T S2 is easy to integrate
into existing and new A/V systems, and can
be mounted alongside Extron VersaTools
™
products. Its versatile mounting options
also allow it to be mounted under a desk
or on a projector.
Additional Features
• High-performance architecture: Web
pages are served up to 50 times faster
(6 Mbit/sec transfer rate) than similar
products, so data is refreshed at a
consistent high speed.
• Power options: For added flexibility,
users are able to power up the IPL T S2 two
different ways. With the power over
Ethernet feature, there is no need for
a local power supply. The included
