Setting the IP address using Global Configurator

The preferred method for setting a unit’s IP address is to use the Extron Global Configurator (GC) application.

If you have Global Configurator installed on a local PC, and have a GC project file open, proceed with the steps below. If you do not have Global Configurator installed, it is available as a free download from www.extron.com. The GC help file leads you through the process of creating a new GC project file, and provides an illustrated version of the procedure below.

The IPL T S unit must be:
