Extron electronic IPI 200, IPI 100 manual Setting the IP address using Global Configurator

Setting the IP address using Global Configurator

The preferred method for setting a unit’s IP address is to use Extron’s 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 steps you through the process of creating a new GC project file, and provides an illustrated version of the procedure below.

The IPI 200 Series intercom unit must be:

•physically connected to the network or connected directly to a computer via the front panel Config port.

•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 the figure below).

2. Select the appropriate device type (e.g. IPI 204) in the IP Link® Device drop-down list.
