IPL 250 • Introduction
Creating a Control System Using the IPL with Optional
Extron TouchLink™ Touchpanels
Not only can the IPL 250 act as a stand-alone controller that can be accessed via
its internal and GlobalViewer Web pages, but it also can act as the centerpiece of
a control system that features Extron TouchLink Touchpanels. The touchpanels
provide a convenient, aesthetically pleasing interface for controlling the IPL, which,
in turn, controls the other system components.
If you have additional questions or need support for your Extron control system
installation, contact the Extron S3 Control Systems Support Hotline.
