The MLC 104 IP Plus is designed to work with almost every Extron switcher, including MediaLink
Switchers, which are specifically designed to complement MediaLink Controllers. MediaLink
Switchers are available to accommodate a variety of video, RGBHV, and audio signals while
providing unique features that expand A/V system capabilities. The MLC 104 IP Plus can also
work as a stand-alone device to control a display without the aid of a switcher.

IP Link Ethernet Control
The MLC 104 IP Plus is equipped with Extron's IP Link, a high performance intelligent network
integration solution specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments
— from small K-12 classrooms to large universities and businesses. GlobalViewer, a free Web-
based asset management and remote control software application, is specifically designed
to work with products that include IP Link technology. It facilitates key asset management
functions including:

Proactive maintenance — GlobalViewer can store and display information about

connected devices like serial numbers, owner identification, maintenance history, and
installed firmware versions. This centralized data can be collected and used to reduce
maintenance costs and guide future purchasing decisions. For instance, a projector can
be polled routinely to track lamp usage and total life time. When lamp usage reaches a
predetermined number of hours, the MLC 104 IP Plus can send a report via e-mail.

Event scheduling — GlobalViewer uses the real-time clock and calendar in

IP Link-enabled devices to maximum value. User-defined tasks are easy to configure
and schedule with GlobalViewer and don't require high-level programming skills.
For instance, an administrator may want to turn off all projectors every Friday at
close of business.

Remote technical support — Technicians can troubleshoot systems remotely because

GlobalViewer provides the real-time status of connected devices. Information such as
connection status, power state, and current input selection is displayed in a central
location. For many connected devices, technicians can toggle power on or off, switch
sources, control volume, and more without leaving their office. Many common problems
can be resolved without a trip to where the equipment is located.

Theft alerts — IP Link-enabled products are always on and routinely poll their attached

devices for status information. If any serially controlled device, such as a projector
or plasma display, is physically disconnected from the network, the MLC 104 IP Plus
monitoring its status will know immediately. In such an event, it can send an e-mail
message notifying security personnel of the possible theft. For fast action, e-mails can
be sent to multiple addresses including cell phones and wireless PDAs.

Data Logger
Data Logger is a free Microsoft® Excel®-based spreadsheet application that allows
administrators to automatically gather up-to-date lamp hour and usage statistics for multiple
rooms of A/V equipment. It provides a simple, convenient way to retrieve A/V system usage
statistics into a single document for data analysis, collecting critical system information
such as frequency of usage for each front panel input and current lamp hours of connected
projectors.
