Configure or Program the Control Processor, Expansion Interfaces,
Touchpanels, and Network Button Panels
If TouchLink Pro touchpanels are part of the system, start and use GUI Designer
to
design, save, and build the graphical user interface (GUI) layout
for the
touchpanels (see the
GUI Designer Help File
for instructions).
NOTE:
To
redeem (activate) a LinkLicense, go to
and
follow the online instructions.
A LinkLicense unlocks features that add convenience, expand system options,
and enhance the capabilities of your Extron products. For IPCP Pro Q xi and xi
systems, a LinkLicense allows you to use a mobile device or computer as the
primary control interface in an Extron control system where a TouchLink Pro
touchpanel may not be present.
If using GC,
create a new GC Professional or GC Plus project and configure the
control processor, expansion interface,s and other IP Link Pro devices
. The
configuration tells each control processor and expansion interface:
•
How its ports function
•
What to monitor
•
How to control other products
•
When to do things
•
Which touchpanels to interact with
•
Whom to notify, how, and under what
circumstances
Configure ports on the control processor:
Select device drivers and link them to each serial, IR/serial, or Ethernet port.
Select settings (serial protocol, relay behavior, digital I/O or flex I/O settings, AC
output settings) as needed.
Add eBUS devices and set them up:
Ensure that the hardware address (eBUS ID) set on each device is distinct and
matches the address used in the configuration.
Assign button functions as desired.
Add Network Button Panels (NBPs) and set them up. Assign button functions as
desired.
Add the IPL EXP expansion interfaces and configure their ports.

Add touchpanels and set them up:
Upload the GUI configuration to the Global Configurator project.
Assign any appropriate functions, monitors, or schedules to the touchpanels
and their buttons.
If not using GC Professional or GC Plus, use Global Scripter
to program the
control system as desired.
Program ports on the control processor:
Program each serial, IR/serial, or Ethernet port as needed.
Program relay behavior, digital I/O, flex I/O, and AC output settings as needed.
Add eBUS devices and set them up:
Ensure that the hardware address set on each device is distinct and matches
the addresses programmed for them in the IPCP.
