3-27 IPL 250 • Software-based Configuration and Control
Controlling the IPL 250 with a Touchpanel
After both devices are configured, the IPL 250 can be controlled with an optional
Extron TLP touchpanel.
1. Set up each touchpanel’s graphical user interface (GUI) by using the GUI
Configurator software. Refer to the GUI Configurator Help file for details.
2. Connect the touchpanel(s) to the same network that the IPL 250 uses.
3. While configuring the IPL in Global Configurator, add each TLP to the
Touchpanel ports. Connect to the TLPs and upload the GUI layout for each
panel. Refer to the Global Configurator Help file for the procedure.
4. Use GC to configure the panel’s on-screen and hardware buttons.
5. Upload the configuration to the IPL.
6. Test the system by pressing the touchpanel’s buttons (or pressing/clicking
the touchpanel’s virtual buttons in the IPL 250’s GlobalViewer Web page) and
observing how the IPL and the other devices in the system react.
•
If everything works as it is supposed to, you may disconnect the PC
or laptop from the IPL or the network and use just the touchpanels to
control the IPL.
• If the system components do not respond properly when you test the
touchpanel, check and adjust the IPL’s configuration using GC, then
upload the revised configuration.
Should we have a short section on controlling the IPL
with a touchpanel here, between the Web page control
and the section on customizing those Web pages (before
finishing the “how to control the IPL” section?
