IPL Pro Series • Introduction 1About the IPL Pro Series
The IPL Pro Series Control Processors integrate Ethernet connection into AV systems to
allow users to remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot AV equipment, including display
devices, switchers, source devices, and various other items such as lights, a projector lift,
or a screen motor. They can be used in a distributed control system environment or as
stand-alone control processors.
Figure 1. IPL Pro S1 (left), IPL Pro S3 (center), IPL Pro S6 (right)
Figure 2. IPL Pro CR88 (left), IPL Pro IRS8 (right)
An IPL Pro Series control processor is the centerpiece of a control system that features
Extron TouchLink Pro Touchpanels. The IPL Pro supports multiple TouchLink Pro touchpanels
over a standard Ethernet network. The touchpanels provide a convenient interface for
controlling the IPL, which, in turn, controls the other system components.
NOTE: GUI Designer is used to design the user interface layout of any Extron
TouchLink Pro touchpanel that is used with the IPL.
Use the Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage the IPL Pro control processor
and other Extron control products. Configure the control processor using GC Professional
or GC Plus, or program it using Global Scripter (GS). Once you have set up how you want
it to work (set up IP addresses and functions, assigned drivers to ports, configured relays
and contact input), that information is saved to a project configuration file that is built and
uploaded into the IPL and to any optional TouchLink Pro touchpanels.
The IPL Pro Series integrates seamlessly with Extron GlobalViewer Enterprise software and
Extron Control for Web, iOS, and Android for remote control applications.
Features
General features
Flexible options for device control — The various IPL Pro models all offer TCP/Ethernet
control and monitoring, and, depending on the model, serial (RS-232) or infrared (IR)-based
control, relay device control, and event monitoring via contact input ports.
Rack mountability — The IPL Pro S1 has a 1 inch high, quarter rack wide enclosure, and
the other models are housed in a standard 1U high, quarter rack wide enclosure. They are
easily rack mounted or can be installed in or under furniture with an optional mounting kit.
IPL Pro Series • Introduction 2Support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) — The IPL supports power over Ethernet, which
allows the control processor to receive both power and an Ethernet connection over a single
connector.
Support for an external power supply — The IPL also supports connection to an
external 12 VDC power supply (included) that accepts 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input.
Network and configuration features
• Global compatibility — The IPL uses industry standard Ethernet communication
protocols, including DHCP, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, ICMP, NTP, SFTP, SMTP, SNMP, SSH,
TCP/IP, and UDP/IP.
• Embedded web pages — The IPL embedded web pages include online diagnostics
and monitoring of basic features.
• If the unit is configured to work with Extron Control, you can access the virtual user
interfaces from a link in the embedded web page.
• Remote equipment management — The IP Link Pro connection allows you
to remotely manage, monitor, and control several Ethernet-enabled products such
as projectors, cameras, video conferencing equipment, switchers, and other AV
equipment. The IPL provides support for the following:
• TCP, UDP, and HTTP connections
• Password protection using secure communication
• Up to 32 (GC Professional) or 8 (GC Plus) Ethernet devices at a time depending on
the configuration mode
• Connection via IP address or host name
• Multi-level password protection — This allows security to be set based on user
roles.
• System asset management — The configured system and control processor allow
you to control, monitor, and schedule various functions of devices in the system.
• E-mail notification — The IPL can be set up to send e-mail notifications, such as a
notice that a projector has been disconnected or the projector lamp has been used for
a designated number of hours.
• Additional security features — Each control processor can use the included Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate or a user-supplied, customized security certificate
(see Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates on page 31). IEEE 802.1X
Authentication is also supported in Extron devices once enabled. For details see IEEE
802.1X Certificates on page 32.

IPL Pro Series • Introduction 4Device Control
The IPL must be configured in one of the following ways before it can send commands to a
projector, display, or other device:
• An IR, RS-232 or Ethernet driver file can be downloaded from the Extron website
(http://www.extron.com/download/index.aspx). The driver is saved to a folder and
commands from the driver are incorporated into the GC configuration file for the control
processor and any touchpanels that are selected to work with it. The configuration file is
built and uploaded to the IPL via GC.
• If a driver is not already available, RS-232 or Ethernet command strings can be
entered directly from a host computer using Global Configurator. These can then be
incorporated into controls within the GC project.
• For an IPL Pro IRS8, IR commands can be entered directly from an IR remote control
through IR learning. This can be done using IR Learner Pro to create a driver that
the control processor can use. IR learning is seldom needed, but it is convenient for
installing new or updated commands in the field in the rare cases when a driver is not
already available from Extron.
See the Global Configurator Help File (which is included with the software) for details
on setting up the IPL and for downloading, programming, or learning device control
commands.
About Global Configurator (with GC Professional and GC Plus Modes)
Global Configurator:
• Loads device drivers for monitoring the status of and controlling devices within the AV
system.
• Uploads GUI Designer interface layouts to touchpanels and third-party touch interfaces.
• Creates the configuration containing all the settings for the control processor and the
products with which it interacts in the AV system.
• Uploads the configuration to the control processor.
To obtain Extron control product software, you must have an Extron Insider account and
contact an Extron support representative. Extron provides training to our customers on how
to use the software. Access to the full set of features in Global Configurator Professional is

Mounting the IPL Pro Series
Mounting Options
Optional 1U high rack shelves and a variety of rack mounting bracket kits and furniture
mounting kits are available for use with the IPL. The 1 inch high model (IPL Pro S1) requires
different brackets than the 1U high models. Visit the product-specific page on the Extron
website (www.extron.com) for a list of compatible accessories for mounting your control
processor or call a support representative to find out which kit to order for your installation.
Read the instructions that are included with the rack shelf or mounting kit for installation
procedures and see the UL rack mounting guidelines.
UL Rack Mounting Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of
the IPL Pro Series in a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the IPL in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the
effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).

IPL Pro Series • Hardware Features and Installation 14NOTE: The IPL Pro Series control processors accept power over Ethernet (PoE)
through the LAN/PoE port (see figure 7, C on page 13) in addition to network
communication (see the cabling and details information on page 17). Both
an external power supply and PoE can be connected to the control processor
simultaneously. The IPL uses PoE when it is available but can switch seamlessly to
the external 12 VDC power supply if the PoE connection is dropped.
ATTENTION:
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) is intended for indoor use only. It is to be connected
only to networks or circuits that are not routed to the outside plant or building.
• L’alimentation via Ethernet (PoE) est destinée à une utilisation en intérieur

Figure 8. Wiring COM ports for Serial Control
For bidirectional serial communication, the transmit, ground, and receive pins must be
wired at both the IPL Pro Series and the other device. Each projector or other device
may require different wiring. For details, see the manual for that equipment or read the
Extron device driver communication sheet, which is included with the drivers.
NOTE: Maximum distances between the IPL and the device being controlled are
generally up to 200 feet (61 m) but may vary based on factors such as cable
gauge, baud rates, environment, and output levels (from the IPL and the device
being controlled).
IPL Pro Series • Hardware Features and Installation 16C LAN/PoE (Ethernet) connectors and LEDs — To connect the IPL to an Ethernet
network (so you can configure and control the IPL and the devices connected to it),
plug a cable into the LAN RJ-45 socket (see figure 7 on page 13) and connect the
other end of the cable to a network switch, hub, router, or PC connected to a LAN or
the Internet. For details of communication protocols, ports, and services used, see the
Pro Series Control Product Network Ports and Licenses Guide at www.extron.com.
The IPL Pro Series control processors accept power over Ethernet (PoE) through the
LAN port (see the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Attention statement on page 15).
Both an external power supply and PoE can be connected to the control processor
simultaneously. The IPL uses PoE when it is available but can switch seamlessly to the
external power supply if the PoE connection is dropped.
Cabling:
• For 10Base-T (10 Mbps) networks, use a CAT 3 or better cable.
• For 100Base-T (max. 155 Mbps) or 1000Base-T networks, use a CAT 5 or better cable.
You must configure this port before using it. Configure the settings via Global
Configurator. See Software-Based Configuration and Control starting on
page 24 of this guide for basic information on configuration.

Figure 10. Wiring the Contact Input Ports
A 1k ohm pull-up resistor in a TTL (5 VDC) circuit senses external switch or contact
closure. After these ports have been configured, when the circuit between a signal
pin and a ground pin is closed, each port can trigger events (such as toggling relays,
issuing commands, or sending an e-mail).
• When an external switch closes (shorts to ground, logic low), the port is on and the
front panel LED is on.
• When the external switch opens (logic high), the port is off. The front panel LED is
off.

These relay contacts may be used to control any equipment as long as the contact
specifications of a total of 24 V at 1 A are not exceeded for each port. These relays are
normally open by default.
When activated, the open contacts close. They can be set up to operate in one of two ways:
• Latching (brief or indefinite period contact) (press to close, press to open), or
• Pulsed (timed cycle) (press to close, timeout to open, with automatic repeat).
In pulse mode the default timeout period (hold time) is ½ second (500 ms). Use Global
Configurator to change the length of the timeout period.
NOTE: The pulse function is absolute: it always sets the relay state to closed, times
out (briefly), then opens the contact. It overrides the previously selected setting (on
state, off state, or toggle).
IPL Pro Series • Hardware Features and Installation 19G IR/serial output ports (see figure 7 on page 13) — An IPL Pro Series controller
with these ports can use infrared signals or unidirectional RS‑232 serial signals to
control various devices (up to four per port for IR) via these ports. Set output signal type
(IR or serial) during configuration. The figure below shows wiring examples.
