ts Locaton
The most essential step in creating a configuration in a GC
project is to add an IP Link device. The following steps instruct
on how to add a System 5 IP into Global Configurator.
Before starting, obtain the following from your network
administrator:
IP address/host name
Gateway IP address
Subnet mask
Telnet port
Web port
N These settings can be edited after adding the
System 5 IP by using the Change Device Settings...
dialog box found in the Tools menu.
N If the Add Device dialog box is not displayed, select
Add Device from the Edit menu.
To add the System 5 IP, do the following:
Add Device dialog box (Basic)
1. From the IP Link Device drop-down menu, select
System 5 IP or System 5 IP w/ Amp.
2. Enter or edit the host name or IP address in the
Name/IP Address text box so that it matches the one
assigned to the product by your network administrator.
3. In the Display Name box, enter an easy to remember,
descriptive name (e.g., System5IP). You may choose to
keep the default name.
4. Click the Advanced button.

5. Select the Auto Configure IP Address check box. The MAC
Address text box becomes active and the first three octets
of the MAC address appear.
6. Locate the MAC address on the rear of the Extron IP
product or obtain it from your network administrator.
7. Enter the remainder of the MAC address in the MAC
Address text box (the first three octets should be filled in).
8. Click the Set button. This assigns the new IP address to
the IP device.
N Auto Configure IP Address ( e ) uses the ARP method to
set the IP address. If this method fails, perform a mode 4
reset to set the System 5 IP back to its default IP settings.
Refer to Chapter 2 of the System 5 IP Series User’s
Manual for instructions on performing a mode 4 reset.
9. Click the New Location button in the upper right corner of
the Add Device dialog box. A Location folder is created,
in edit mode. You can use additional folders to create up
to eight location levels.
10. Assign a location-oriented name to the highlighted folder
(e.g., Room 201).
11. Once finished, click the OK button. The
Global Configurator Front Panel window appears, as
shown on the following page.
