Configuring the IPI Intercom System

The Configuration Utility (also known as the configuration program) is the tool you need to set up an IP Intercom® System. You must first configure the console and intercoms in order for the management software to be useful. Within this program you can assign IP addresses to specific intercom buttons and select a list of intercom systems for the help desk to monitor.

After the equipment has been cabled, installed, and powered on, follow these basic steps to set up an IP Intercom® System:

1. Double-click the IPI icon

(shown at right) under the Extron group or folder.

2. Click on the Tools drop-down menu and select Configuration Utility. You need an administrator level password to access this program, so you may be prompted to enter the password. The Configuration Utility opens in a separate window.

NThe default administrator password is “extron” (with all lower case letters).
