Ethernet connection

Ethernet connection is used on an ongoing basis to connect the IPL T S unit to a LAN and to control the switching and display devices attached to the unit. To connect the unit to a LAN, do the following:

1.	Plug one end of a CAT 5, straight-through Ethernet cable into the rear panel
	Ethernet connector on the IPL T S unit. See figure 2-9 in chapter 2 for
	RJ-45 connector wiring information.
2.	Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into a network switch or hub
	connected to an Ethernet LAN or to the Internet.
3.	From your PC, launch a Web browser and type in the IP address previously
	set up on the IPL T S (if this hasnt been set up, see “Setting the Internet

Protocol (IP) Address” later in this chapter). This displays the System Status Web page.

Serial connection

The IPL T S interface can be connected to any A/V device that has a serial control port.

1. Connect one end of a serial cable to the rear panel COM port connector of the IPL T S unit. As an alternative, use a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector where available.

NThis captive screw connector must be wired appropriately. See figure 2-10 for pin assignments, if necessary.
