System 5 IP Switchers • Special Applications 6-4
To configure the switcher for an IRCM-DV+ and DVD-VCR control, follow this
procedure:
See chapter four and refer to the System 5 IP Setup Guide for instructions on
how to use Global Configurator software. The instructions in this section
assume that you have a basic understanding of how to start a project and
perform basic setup tasks using Global Configurator. They also assume that
the System 5 IP’s ports have already been configured and that the drivers for
the connected devices (display, DVD-VCR player, etc.) are loaded on the PC.
1. Connect cables between the switcher, input/output devices, and the PC as
described in chapter two.
2. Install and start the Windows-based Global Configurator program.
3. Create or open a project and select the System 5 IP unit to be configured.
4. Select the IP Link tab in the lower left of the screen. See the illustration below.
5. Configure the device control ports (projector control and IR/Serial ports A, B,
C, and/or D). In the example below, port A has been configured for a Sony
combination DVD/VCR player.
6. Assign addresses to the control module. In the example shown above,
addresses 3 and 4 are assigned to an IRCM-DV+ module. The addresses (1
and 2 or 3 and 4) must match the one (1 or 3) set via DIP switch on the rear of
the IRCM-DV+ module.
7. In the IP Link tab, click on the name of the System 5 IP to be configured
8. Click on Function/Room Control button 2 in the Front Panel tab in the right
portion of the screen.
9. Type in the button caption (labeling text you want to appear on that button in
Global Configurator and in GlobalViewer) and the Tool Tip (descriptive text
that will appear on screen when your cursor hovers over that button).
