Relay Ports

The relay ports can be used for remote switching of low level signals. The relays can be activated via software in three ways:

1.The Port Settings default Web page found under the Configuration tab (figure 16)

2.Telnet

3.An event script running on the IPL T CR48

The Port Settings Web page allows you to turn any of the eight relays on or off.

Telnet allows you to send SIS™ commands (see Programmer’s Guide for the Telnet and Web Browser, later in this section, to turn the relays on or off directly.

Event scripting allows an event script to turn the relays on or off based on the state of the four inputs on the IPL T CR48, or any other event script conditions.

States of the relay ports are volatile; if a given relay port is on and power for the unit is turned off, the state of the port is not remembered. When the unit is powered on, the relay ports are open and the corresponding LED will be off.

Communication with the Interface

Web Server

The on-board Web server is displayed as a set of default Web pages, which can be accessed via a Web browser. These pages are the primary means of communication with, and control through, the IPL T CR48 controller. Web browsers such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer® (version 5.5 or higher) can be used, but if using Internet Explorer, you must also have Microsoft Script (version 5.6 or higher).

The PC used to access the Web server and the unit should be connected to your local intranet or the Internet.

If you have established passwords for the unit, you will be shown a Password window when your browser accesses the IPL T CR48 (but not when you initially access the Web server since no passwords have been established). Your level of control over the unit depends on the password you enter in this Password window. If you enter the administrator password, you have control of all matters of configuration. If you enter a user password, you are restricted to control of only A/V devices and viewing status.
