Controlling the System 5 IP via GlobalViewer ™ Web Pages
The System 5 IP switcher can be used as part of a network of devices based on
Extron IP Link
™ technology, such as IP Link interfaces. Global Configurator (GC) is
a Windows-based program used for configuring and customizing the Web browser-
based GlobalViewer
™ (GV) application for each IP Link interface, System 5 IP,
MLC 226 IP, MLC 104 IP, or other IP Link-based device on a network. Once a
System 5 IP switcher is configured, its GlobalViewer Web pages allow the user to
manage, monitor, and control the switcher and the devices connected to it.
Refer to the Global Configurator Help file and the System 5 IP Setup Guide for specific
information on how to use the software and how to perform basic setup tasks for a
System 5 IP.
If the switcher has been configured with passwords, the GlobalViewer Web
pages are password protected. Although default embedded Web pages are
accessible via the GlobalViewer Web pages, nonadministrators (people with
user access) are able to access the Control and Status pages only.
Four screens for the switcher are available via Global Viewer: Control, Monitor,
Schedule, and Info (
).
Control
A typical GlobalViewer Control page
• The IPLink GlobalViewer window at the left of the screen displays a list of other
IP Link-based devices in the same network that have GlobalViewer Web pages
installed.
• The larger Control window on the right side of the screen functions just like the
Control embedded Web page. It provides buttons that correspond to those on
the switcher’s front panel, volume control, and additional buttons that let you
execute any command uploaded for each connected and configured device (the
projector/display and input devices).
