About the IPL 250
The IPL 250 IP Link
®
Ethernet Control Processor is part of a TouchLink
™
configurable touchpanel control system. The IPL 250 provides A/V system
control through bidirectional serial ports, IR ports, relays, and contact closure
inputs to control and monitor displays, switchers, source devices, screen
controllers, lighting systems, and other devices.
The Extron Global Configurator software makes it easy to set up the IPL 250
and customize its internal Web pages. Using the free GlobalViewer
®
Web-based
A/V resource management and remote control application, users can manage,
monitor, and control both Extron and third-party equipment like projectors,
plasma displays, projectors, VCRs, DVD players, and other devices connected to
the IPL 250.
Within a TouchLink system, the IPL 250 does the processing and control, and the
touchpanel provides the user interface.
