Features
General features
Flexible options for device control
— Depending on the model, each IPL EXP offers a
variety of control ports for RS-232, infrared/serial (IR/S) control, TCP/Ethernet control and
monitoring, relays, and either digital I/O (digital input or digital output) or digital I/O with DC
power output.
The IPL EXP 200 includes an Extron eBUS port, which allows a variety of eBUS devices
(such as button panels) and accessories (including power and signal hubs) to be connected
to a single control processor or expansion interface. eBUS button panels are automatically
recognized by the control processor or the expansion interface and can be added or
removed at any time.
Mounting options
•
All IPL EXP models are housed in a 1U high, quarter rack width enclosure which is
easily rack mounted or can be installed in or under furniture with an optional mounting
kit.
•
All models other than the IPL EXP RIO8 mount to the included ZipClip 200 mounting
bracket, which makes it easy to mount the units to rack rails and furniture.
Universal power system compatibility
•
The IPL EXP RIO8 requires a PoE+ power source, as it provides 12 VDC and 24 VDC
output ports that are used in conjunction with the digital I/O ports.
•
All other models accept PoE or PoE+ input on the LAN/PoE port.
Network and configuration features
•
Global compatibility
— The expansion interface uses industry standard Ethernet
communication protocols, including DHCP, DNS, HTTP (redirect), HTTPS, ICMP,
IEEE 802.1X, NTP, SFTP, SMTP, SNMP, SSH, TCP/IP, and UDP/IP.
•
Multi-level password protection
— This allows security to be set based on user roles.
•
Embedded web pages
— The IPL EXP 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.
•
System asset management
— The configured system and expansion interface allow
you to control, monitor, and schedule various functions of devices in the system.
•
Additional security features
— Each expansion interface and control processor can
use the included Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate or a user-supplied, customized
security certificate (see
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates
IEEE 802.1X Authentication is also supported in our devices once enabled. For details
see
on page 40. These devices also comply with NIAP
security standards.
•
Support for the Extron ControlScript sandbox environment.
PoE powered — 802.3af Power over Ethernet
allows these Ethernet I/O Interfaces to receive
power and communication over a single Ethernet
cable, eliminating the need for a local power
supply.
• Secure Platform Device that is compatible with
all Extron IPCP Pro xi Series control processors
• Supports secure industry standard
communications protocols — All IP Link Pro
expansion processors use industry standard
communication protocols, including DHCP, DNS,
HTTP, HTTPS, ICMP (ping), IEEE 802.1X, NTP,
SFTP, SNMP, SSH, TCP/IP, UDP/IP.
• Supports 802.1X — Provides support for
standard port-based Network Access Control.
• Supports control system synchronization —
Synchronization will allow users to retain and
recover the state of their configured endpoints in
case of network or power failure.
