ILS22Setup
The program to configure your ILS22 with ease.
Introduction.
As the name of the program suggests, ILS22Setup gives the end-user the opportunity to program the behaviour of the
ILS22 with respect to the control functions. The control functions are located to the left, bottom and right of the system
LCD screen, and they are engraved on the glass plate.
Simply put, the ILS22 glass-plate buttons and headers can be used by the presenter, end-user or supporting technicians to
execute commands directly (e.g. startup the Sho-Q Presenter package), enable or disable keyboard entries, increase or
decrease system audio volume output etc. By pressing the Touch Screen Off button one can temporarily disable all these
keys (until the On button is pressed). This is handy when presenters use the surface for other purposes than presenting.
The ILS22 and embedded functions in general can control:
• An attached projector. Power On, Power Off, or definable commands for example inquiring power status
or lamp hours.
• Room light condition. Turn light higher or lower.
• Audio volume. Higher or lower or mute.
• Microphone volume, mute/un-mute.
• Display out selection, either Lectern itself or attached devices such as Notebook or auxiliary.
• Electrical pedestal elevation up/down.
All of these functions depend on the embedded system software driver which is called ILStranslator, and the setup as
defined through ILS22Setup.
There are 3 possibilities per control function:
• The ILS22 will do it. Internal software in ILStranslator, internal relays and direct communication (RS232) to external
devices are under direct control of the ILS22.
• The ILS22 has nothing to do with it. Glass-plate touches have no effect, external devices and circuitry is used.
• The ILS22 is setup as an intermediate or user-interface. Glass-plate touches will be translated into commands to external
intelligent controllers which will perform the requested action.
ILS22Setup makes the lectern a hybrid system. You can choose and match according to local conditions and
requirements:
• Select which device is taking the action.
• Define communication parameters.
• Which keys are programmed for action.
• Enter the ASCII command strings you want for external control.
• Which relays in the system are used.
