Step 5: Add a Seral and an IR Devce
Adding an A/V device (projector displays, VCRs, DVDs, etc.)
for the System 5 IP to control requires that you first add the
device’s driver to the GC configuration.
Downloadng addtonal drvers
If you have not downloaded or need additional device drivers
for your open project, select Driver Subscriptions from the Edit
menu, then follow the steps under “Step 1: Download Device
Drivers”. GC automatically rebuilds the driver cache.
You are now ready to add A/V devices to the configuration
using the new drivers.
Addng a seral drver
1. From the IP Link tab (on the left pane), select the port
named Display.
Add serial driver window
2. Use the drop-down menus under Serial Driver Selection
to select the device type (choose video projector), and
manufacturer (choose Epson). For this example, select the
Epson PowerLite 7700p video projector from the Available
Drivers field.
3. Click the Add Driver button. The Epson projector appears
within the Selected Driver field.
Notice that this action also populates the Driver
Command and State Configuration field with predefined
functions. These functions later appear as buttons on your
GlobalViewer ® Web page.
4. Click the Comm Sheet button to display the "IP Link ®
Device Interface Communication Sheet". This document
contains important notes, cable requirements and pinouts
for the device.
Addng an IR drver
To add an IR driver to a port:
1.
From the IP Link tab (left pane), select the IR port labeled
Port A beneath the System 5 IP tree.

field, choose Hitachi DV-PF7E.
N If you are unable to find the correct IR driver in the
drop-down menu or the Extron Web site, you can "learn"
the command using the IR Learner software. You can
download this software from the Extron Web site download
center. Refer to the IR Learner Help File for instructions
on how to use this software.
