Setting the IP address using Global Configurator

The preferred method for setting a unit’s IP address is to use Extron’s 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 steps 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:

4.

Enter a unique device name in the Display Name field.

5.

Click the Advanced >>> button.

 

The Advanced options of the Add Device dialog are displayed, and the

 

“Advanced >>>” button name changes to “Basic <<<”.

6.

Click the Auto Configure IP Address checkbox.

Enter the unit’s MAC address in the MAC Address field. The first six digits

 

(00-05-0A) are pre-populated, and identify this unit as an Extron device. You
