Printing a Wiring Block Diagram or a GUI Configuration Report
Once you have configured a system using Global Configurator, you can generate and print
a simple block diagram of what products to wire to which of the ports on the IPCP 505. The
diagram includes model names and the type of communication (IR or RS-232) configured
for each port. For more detailed information, in the Global Configurator Help file, read about
the File menu within the “Reference Information” section.
NOTE: This procedure requires Microsoft Word software (for a block diagram) or an
internet browser application (for a GUI configuration report). The installer or user must
provide that software. They are not Extron products.
Procedure overview:
1.
In Global Configurator, click on the File drop-down menu and select Print and then
Wiring Diagrams/GUI Configuration Report.
2.
In the Print Wiring Diagrams/GUI Configuration Report window, select the devices to
include in the diagram.
3.
Click the Print Wiring Diagrams button or the Print GUI Report button.
GC processes the information about the selected device(s), generates a document
containing the wiring diagram or report, and opens that document in Word (for the
diagram) or in a browser window (for the GUI report).

5.
Close the Global Configurator Print Wiring Diagrams/GUI Configuration Report window.
Updating Firmware
If the need arises, you can replace the firmware of the IPCP without opening the unit or
changing firmware chips. See the
for
instructions on how to update the firmware for the controller.
NOTE: Save the existing GC configuration project before replacing the firmware.
