IP LINK™ APPLICATIONS
The role of the technical administrator in today’s schools and businesses has expanded to include management and maintenance of A/V devices from multiple manufacturers, often spread out over great distances. IP Link makes it easier to integrate A/V systems into existing IP networks, providing
The IPL T SF24 and IPL T SFI244 use Extron’s exclusive IP Link™ technology, a high performance intelligent network solution specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments, from large universities and businesses to small presentation environments.
At its core, each IP Link Ethernet control interface is a complete, high performance, Web server with robust computing power. Each one contains a very fast processor with a latency, or delay, of less than one millisecond from the time it receives a command to the time it acts on that command. As a result, Web pages are served many times faster than similar products, so data is refreshed at a consistently high speed. The core technology and high performance architecture of IP Link interfaces makes them ideal for implementing A/V system management over the most widely available transport medium today, the corporate IP network.

System Security and Loss Prevention
IP Link interfaces are always on and routinely poll their connected devices for status information. If a serially controlled device like a projector or document camera is physically disconnected from the network, the IP Link interface monitoring its status will know immediately. In such an event, the IP Link interface can be configured to send an
