Introduction, cont’d

Web-based A/V asset management — When used with GlobalViewer software, the IPL T S interfaces provide a powerful, flexible way to manage, monitor, and control projectors, flat-panel displays, and other devices using a standard Ethernet network.

Integral, high performance Web server — Each IPL T S interface features a built-in Web server with memory available for storing device drivers, GlobalViewer, and development of your own Web pages using “off-the-shelf” Web authoring software.

Industry standard Ethernet protocols — All IPL T S models support industry standard Ethernet communication protocols, including ARP, DHCP, ICMP, UDP/IP, TCP/IP, Telnet, HTTP, and SMTP, accessed through an RJ-45auto-sense 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN connection.

Simultaneous multi-user support — Each IPL T S interface supports multiple concurrent users, improving system throughput.

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.

Multiple levels of access with password protection — User access level authorizes limited entry to only pre-designated functions, while administrator access level permits full access to advanced settings.

Configuration utility — Global Configurator software, a free, easy-to-useWindows®-based configuration utility, makes product setup simple and intuitive— no programming knowledge is required.

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-inmulti-level security — A user can control access to devices attached to the interface. Two levels of password protection provide appropriate security.

Serial port connectivity — Provides serial ports on 9-pin D and/or 3.5 mm, captive screw connectors.

Easy configuration and control — Easily control the interface in three ways:

The Internet Explorer® V5.5 browser

A Web-based interface

DataViewer (or a standard Telnet client application)

The IPL T S series requires no centralized processor to operate within a system.

Multiple mounting options — Can be mounted under a desktop or podium, on a projector mount, or on a rack shelf.
