Configuration and Control: an Overview
An IPCP must be configured before use in order to recognize and accept commands
and pass them on to the controlled devices. It can be configured and controlled via a host
computer connected to the same network as the control processor. See
LAN or LAN A
(IP) connectors and LEDs starting on page 16 for details about LAN port and cabling
to connect the control processor to the network.
• Configure the control processor by using the Global Configurator software in
GC Professional or GC Plus mode. See the Extron website for full system hardware and
software requirements.
• The default web pages embedded within the control processor provide a means to view
general hardware information, network settings, and, if configured, project information.
The embedded web pages can also be used to update the IPCP firmware. You cannot
configure the control processor via the embedded web pages.
