Setting the IP address using Global Configurator
The preferred method for setting a unit’s IP address is to use Extron’s Global
Configurator (GC) application.
If you have Global Configurator installed on a local PC, and have a GC project
file open, proceed with the steps below. If you do not have Global Configurator
installed, it is available as a free download from www.extron.com. The GC help
file steps you through the process of creating a new GC project file, and provides an
illustrated version of the procedure below.
The IPL T S unit must be:
• physically connected to the network
• at its factory default IP address
To set an IP address with a GC project file open:
1 . From the Edit menu, select Add Device.
The Add Device dialog box opens (see figure 3-4).
2 . Select the appropriate device type (ex: IPL T S4) in the IP Link ® Device
drop-down list.
3 . Enter the new IP address (ex: 10.14.195.40) in the Name/IP Address field.
4 . Enter a unique device name in the Display Name field.
5 . Click the Advanced >>> button.
The Advanced options of the Add Device dialog are displayed, and the
“Advanced >>>” button name changes to “Basic <<<”.
6 . Click the Auto Configure IP Address checkbox.
7 . Enter the unit’s MAC address in the MAC Address field. The first six digits
(00-05-0A) are pre-populated, and identify this unit as an Extron device. You
only need to enter the final six digits. Dashes between digits are auto-filled.
8 . Click the Set button. The Auto Configure Successful dialog box opens.
9 . Click OK.
