This section describes the IPL T PC1 embedded web pages and provides instructions on accessing and using them to configure the PC1. Topics include:

•Configuring the Hardware for Ethernet Control

•Using the IPL T PC1 Web Pages

•Custom Web Pages

•Troubleshooting

•Global Configurator Software

The IPL T PC1 must be configured before use in order for it to control other devices. In addition to using the button on the PC1 front panel, you can configure and control the PC1 via any computer attached to a LAN.

•The default PC1 embedded web pages provide a means of setting up, adjusting, and controlling the interface via a web browser from any type of network-enabled computer.

•An alternative way to control and configure the PC1 from your computer is by using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands via Telnet. SIS commands are discussed in detail in the “SIS Programming and Control” section.

•Global Configurator (GC 3.3) software enables you to configure and control the PC1 as well as set up output device monitoring and scheduling (see the IPL T PC1 Setup Guide, provided with your PC1, for information on setting up using GC 3.3).

Configuring the Hardware for Ethernet Control

To enable Ethernet control, both the computer and the PC1 must be configured correctly. The PC must be network-capable with the proper protocols, and the PC1 must be set up so it can be connected to a LAN (local area network). Please note that some settings can be configured only via Internet protocol.

For your PC to communicate with the PC1 via Ethernet, it must be equipped with an network interface card and an HTML browser. To allow your PC to work with Extron Ethernet-controlled products, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed and properly configured.
