Customizing the IPL’s Control Web Pages

Extron offers Web page templates that can be customized using standard HTML

editing tools or third-party software such as Microsoft

®

FrontPage or Adobe

®

Dreamweaver

®

to provide a different interface to the user while still using

GlobalViewer functions. An experienced Web developer can add images, modify

text, and change background colors to create a look and feel that reflects your brand

or your user’s specific requirements. For example, a university with dozens of

devices and rooms to control may wish to create customized Web pages with the

university’s school colors and logo. End users can control the system using these

customized pages instead of the standard GV pages.
Alternatively, Extron can create a customized GUI for you to upload to each IPL 250

in the system. End users can view the Web pages of this customized GUI while

administrators and installers still have access to the factory-set Web pages and the

standard GV Web pages in addition to the customized ones.
For a small, one-time fee, Extron will turn the following items into files ready to

upload to the unit:
• your GlobalViewer project file containing system configuration details
• your choice of available color schemes
• your choice of labels for panel buttons
• a company or institution logo
These customized Web pages, whether created by Extron or modified by an outside

HTML developer from Extron-supplied templates used in the system.
