Setting up the PC for IP communication with an IPL 250
You need a Windows-based (Windows 2000, XP, or higher) PC equipped with an
operating network adapter. For your PC to work with Extron Ethernet-controlled
products, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed and properly configured.
When setting up the IPL for network communication via a Web browser or Telnet
connection, you must change the IP address of the PC to one that is on the same
subnet as the IPL.
If you use an existing Ethernet LAN intranet, your network administrator can
provide you with a unique IP address for the controller or confirm whether you
need to set up the IPL 250 for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to
have an address assigned automatically when you sign on.
