Extron Electronics IPL T PC1i User Guide - Manual (Page 8)

• Industry standard Ethernet protocols — The PC1 uses standard Ethernet and TCP/IP
communication protocols, including ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), DHCP (dynamic
host configuration protocol), TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol),
Telnet, and HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).
• Integral high-performance web server — The PC1 has a built-in web server with
memory available for storing device drivers, GlobalViewer
® , and custom user web pages.
• Configuration utility — Global Configurator software, a free, easy to use
Windows
® -based configuration utility, makes product setup simple and intuitive; no
programming knowledge is required.
• E-mail capabilities to enable support — With e-mail notification, technical support
administrators can receive failure and service messages through an e-mail-enabled cell
phone, PDA, pager, or Internet e-mail account.
• Web-based A/V asset management — When used with GlobalViewer software,
the PC1 provides a powerful, flexible way to manage, monitor, and control a projector,
flat panel display, and so on, using a standard Ethernet network.
• Scheduling of power and executive mode — Power to an output device can be
scheduled using the web pages, Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands, or Global
Configurator. Front panel lockout (executive mode) can also be scheduled by these
methods.
• Easy configuration and control — You can easily control the PC1 using:
• The Internet Explorer browser (V5.5 or later)
• A web-based interface
• DataViewer (or a standard Telnet client application)
• Extensive library of device drivers — Device drivers allow Extron products to control
various display and source devices, such as projectors, flat-panel displays, and DVD
players. Extron has produced thousands of fully tested and uniformly modeled RS-232
and IR device drivers.
• Direct port access — Use existing software programs to control a device that has
no Ethernet support. Any existing Extron product with a serial control port can be
interfaced with a LAN.
• Built-in multi-level security — You can control access to devices attached to the
interface. Two levels of password protection provide appropriate security.
• Simultaneous multi-user support — Each PC1 interface supports multiple concurrent
users, improving system throughput.
• Multiple mounting options — The PC1 can be placed on a tabletop, for which four
feet are provided and can be attached. Optional hardware for mounting the unit under
a desktop or podium or on a rack shelf is not included, but may be ordered separately.
