Setting the IP address using Global Configurator

The preferred method for setting a unit’s IP address is to use the Extron Global Configurator (GC) application.

If you have Global Configurator installed on a local PC, and have a GC project file open, proceed with the steps below. If you do not have Global Configurator installed, it is available as a free download from www.extron.com. The GC help file leads you through the process of creating a new GC project file, and provides an illustrated version of the procedure below.

The IPL T S unit must be:

•physically connected to the network

•at its factory default IP address

To set an IP address with a GC project file open:

1.	From the Edit menu, select Add Device.
	The Add Device dialog box opens (see figure 3-4).
2.	Select the appropriate device type (for example, IPL T S4) in the IP Link®
	Device drop-down list.
3.	Enter the new IP address (for example, 10.14.195.40) in the Name/IP
	Address field.
4.	Enter a unique device name in the Display Name field.
5.	Click the Advanced >>> button.
	The Advanced options of the Add Device dialog are displayed, and the
	“Advanced >>>” button name changes to “Basic <<<”.
6.	Enable the Auto Configure IP Address check box.
7.	Enter the unit’s MAC address in the MAC Address field. The first six digits
	(00-05-0A) are pre-populated, and identify this unit as an Extron device. You
	only need to enter the final six digits. Dashes between digits are auto-filled.
8.	Click the Set button. The Auto Configure Successful dialog box opens.
9.	Click OK.
