Setup procedure

Follow the steps below to set up the system.

1. Double-click on the IPI icon under the Extron group or folder.

2. Click on the Tools drop-down menu and select Configuration Utility. You may be prompted to enter an administrator password. The Configuration Utility opens in a separate window.

3. Create a list of intercom-enabled MLC 226 IPs and IPI 201/204 series intercoms. Once selected and configured, these systems will be added to the help desk main window.

A.In the Add Intercom area, select how to add IP addresses of IPI-enabled MLC units and IPI 201/204 series intercoms in the network:

•automatically by importing an MLC 226 IP list of units that was created in Global Configurator 2.x or higher

•manually by typing the IP address

•automatically by having the software search for IPI- enabled MLCs and IPI 201/204 Series intercoms that are connected to the network

Import GC2 List — To use this option, click Import, locate and select a *.gc2 file, and click OK. When you use Global Configurator to set up the MLC 226 IPs that will be part of the intercom system, the software saves the configuration as a *.gc2 file. If you import that file to the IP Intercom HelpDesk software, the IP addresses, unit names, Telnet port numbers, and administrator password (if assigned) are added to the intercom list. The software filters other devices out from the configuration and imports information on MLC 226 IPs and stand-alone IPI 200 Series intercoms.
