COM ports 1 and 2 of the IPL T S2 can be wired in a similar way as the IPL T S6, as shown in figure 2-10. Both can be wired using a 3.5 mm, 5-pole or 3-pole captive screw connector.

NThe IPL T S2 allows for use of either the 9-pin D connector on COM1 or COM2. The 9-pin D connector COM ports and the captive screw connector COM ports cannot be connected simultaneously.

Identification

jUID # — The unique user ID number (MAC address) of the unit (for example, 00-05-A6-00-00-01).

Operation

Connect power cords and turn on the output display devices (projectors, monitors, VCRs), control devices (switchers, scalers, distribution amplifiers), interface, and input devices (PC, laptop, network equipment).

Check indicator LEDs on the PC/laptop, on the interface, on the network hub/ router, and so on, to ensure that all the devices are plugged in and communicating. The IPL T S interface is now ready to be configured (see chapter 3, “Connection and Configuration”).

If connection or communication problems occur, see “Troubleshooting” in chapter 4. If the troubleshooting tips do not help, check with your local network administrator, or call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline.

Front panel indicators

The front panels of the IPL T S interfaces have several indicator LEDs that show the current status of communications to and from the unit. A reset button (b) is also available from the front panel, in a small recess next to the Power LED.
