Ethernet connection
Ethernet connection is used on an ongoing basis to connect the IPL T S unit to a
LAN and to control the switching and display devices attached to the unit. To
connect the unit to a LAN, do the following:
1 . Plug one end of a CAT 5, straight-through Ethernet cable into the rear panel
Ethernet connector on the IPL T S unit. Refer to figure 2-9 in chapter 2 for RJ-
45 connector wiring information.
2 . Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into a network switch or hub
connected to an Ethernet LAN or to the Internet.
3 . From your PC, launch a Web browser and type in the IP address previously
set up on the IPL T S (if this hasnt been set up, refer to “Setting the Internet
Protocol (IP) Address” later in this chapter). This displays the System Status
Web page.
Serial connection
The IPL T S interface can be connected to any A/V device that has a serial control
port.
1 . Connect one end of a serial cable to the rear panel COM port connector of the
IPL T S unit. As an alternative, use a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector
where available.
N This captive screw connector must be wired appropriately. See figure 2-10 for
pin assignments, if necessary.
