Extron Electronics IPL T SFI244 - Manual (Page 20)

Flex I/O Connection
The IPL T SFI244 provides flexible I/O ports that can be configured to three different
operational modes: digital input, digital output and analog input. These ports can
interface with devices such as relays, LEDs, and switches, and can also be configured to
receive analog voltages for use with photo sensors and level feedback.
1. Connect one end of a control cable to the rear panel flex I/O port connectors of the
unit.
2. Connect the other end of the control cable to the devices that are to be controlled
through the unit.
See Establishing or changing system or port settings for more information on
configuring the flex I/O ports.

Configuring the Hardware
To function together properly, both the controlling PC and the IPL T SFI244 must be
configured correctly. The PC must be network-capable, with the proper protocols installed
and the hardware configured correctly. The unit must be set to recognize and accept
commands, as well as pass them through to the switcher, projector, 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 Ethernet-controlled products, the TCP/IP
protocol must be installed and properly configured.
For use on an existing Ethernet LAN intranet, your network administrator can provide you
with a unique IP address or confirm whether you need to set up the IPL T SFI244 for DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to have an address assigned automatically when
you sign on.
