An IPCP Pro 550 Application
Device Control
The IPCP must be configured in one of the following ways before it will send commands to a
projector, display, or other device:
•
An IR, RS-232, or Ethernet driver file can be downloaded from the extensive Extron
driver selection from the Extron website (
The driver is saved to a folder and commands from the driver are incorporated into the
configuration file for the control processor and any touchpanels that will work with it.
The configuration file is built and uploaded to the IPCP via GC.
•
If a driver is not already available, RS-232 or Ethernet command strings can be
entered directly from a host computer using Global Configurator. These can then be
incorporated into controls within the GC project.
•
IR commands can be entered directly from an IR remote control through IR learning
via GC to create a driver that the IPCP can use. IR learning is seldom needed, but it is
convenient for installing new or updated commands into the IPCP Pro Series in the field
in the rare cases when a driver is not already available from Extron.
See the Global Configurator Help file (which comes with the software) for details on setting
up the IPCP and for downloading, programming, or learning device control commands.
