About Global Configurator
Extron Global Configurator (GC) software is an application that
allows non-programmers to configure a wide range of Extron
IP Link
®
-enabled products, and create entire GlobalViewer
™
systems. It provides an integrated environment for defining
A/V control and system monitoring functionality from an
easy-to-use graphical user interface. It allows you to configure a
single room controller as well as facilitate building a Web-based
asset management and remote monitoring system for hundreds
of A/V devices in multiple locations.
Global Configurator provides the following features for the
System 5 IP:
Offline configuration—Using Global Configurator, you can
configure your System 5 IP switcher without having the
actual device on hand, eliminating the need to connect to
your switcher before starting the configuration.
GlobalViewer Web pages—GlobalViewer Web pages (HTML,
XML, and JavaScript) allow you to control and manage
devices such as VCRs, DVDs, and displays connected
to an Extron System 5 IP. These pages are generated
when you build and upload your project files in GC.
GlobalViewer must be viewed using Microsoft Internet
Explorer
®
(version 6 and above), with Active X enabled,
from any computer with access to the network.
About this Manual
This setup guide allows you to easily and quickly set up and
configure your System 5 IP switcher. Step by step instructions
show you how to set up the hardware first, then use the Global
Configurator program to add serial and IR drivers, configure the
front panel buttons, set a shutdown schedule, and set up e-mail
alerts for display disconnection as well as lamp hours warnings.
About the System 5 IP Series Switchers
The Extron System 5 IP switchers are five input, one output,
active, audio/video (A/V) switchers capable of controlling a
projector and various other items such as lights, a projector lift,
or a screen motor. Throughout this manual they are referred to
as the System 5 IP, the switcher, or System 5.
Four models are available:
• The Front Panel Controller (FPC) models, which include
front panel controls for projector power, selectable
functions/room control, input selection, volume
adjustment, and simple configuration—
u with an audio amplifier (amplifier model), and
u without an audio amplifier (nonamplifier model)
• The non-FPC models, which have no front panel controls
except an input 5 selection button—
u with an audio amplifier (amplifier model)
u without an audio amplifier (nonamplifier model)
The System 5 IP offers two methods of projector and source
device control: RS-232 or infrared (IR). The switcher can learn
IR signals from remote controls to communicate with sources
such as VCRs and DVD players. Users can create their own
IR device drivers or go to the Extron Web site to obtain device
drivers.
