•Industry standard Ethernet protocols — The PC1 uses standard Ethernet and TCP/IP communication protocols, including ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol), TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol),

Telnet, and HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).

•Integral high-performance web server — The PC1 has a built-in web server with memory available for storing device drivers, GlobalViewer®, and custom user web pages.

•Configuration utility — Global Configurator software, a free, easy to use Windows®-based configuration utility, makes product setup simple and intuitive; no programming knowledge is required.

•E-mail capabilities to enable support — With e-mail notification, technical support administrators can receive failure and service messages through an e-mail-enabled cell phone, PDA, pager, or Internet e-mail account.

•Web-based A/V asset management — When used with GlobalViewer software, the PC1 provides a powerful, flexible way to manage, monitor, and control a projector, flat panel display, and so on, using a standard Ethernet network.

•Scheduling of power and executive mode — Power to an output device can be scheduled using the web pages, Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands, or Global

Configurator. Front panel lockout (executive mode) can also be scheduled by these methods.

•Easy configuration and control — You can easily control the PC1 using:

•The Internet Explorer browser (V5.5 or later)

•A web-based interface

•DataViewer (or a standard Telnet client application)

•Extensive library of device drivers — Device drivers allow Extron products to control various display and source devices, such as projectors, flat-panel displays, and DVD players. Extron has produced thousands of fully tested and uniformly modeled RS-232 and IR device drivers.

•Direct port access — Use existing software programs to control a device that has no Ethernet support. Any existing Extron product with a serial control port can be interfaced with a LAN.

•Built-inmulti-level security — You can control access to devices attached to the interface. Two levels of password protection provide appropriate security.

•Simultaneous multi-user support — Each PC1 interface supports multiple concurrent users, improving system throughput.

•Multiple mounting options — The PC1 can be placed on a tabletop, for which four feet are provided and can be attached. Optional hardware for mounting the unit under a desktop or podium or on a rack shelf is not included, but may be ordered separately.
