IPCP Pro PCS1 • Setup Guide
The Extron IPCP Pro PCS1 IP Link
®
Pro Power and Device Control Processor integrates
Ethernet connection into AV systems to allow users to remotely control and monitor
AV equipment, including display devices and switchers. The IPCP Pro PCS1 features a
controllable, 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, AC power outlet for remote power management of
a connected device. A 10 amp circuit breaker provides overcurrent protection.
The AC power button, located on the front panel, allows manual control of
the AC power output port. A front panel security lockout mode (Executive
Mode) can be used to disable the button if the unit is installed in an
unsecured environment where access is undesirable.
The IPCP Pro PCS1 includes an embedded web server, a bidirectional
serial port, an IR/serial port, digital I/O, and a LAN port for use in
applications that require control and monitoring of multiple devices within an AV system. It also includes an Extron eBUS
®
port,
which allows a variety of eBUS devices to be connected to a single control processor. eBUS devices include an array of button
panels and power and signal hubs. eBUS devices are automatically recognized by the control processor and can be added or
removed at any time.
To discover and manage the IPCP Pro control processor and other Extron control products, use Extron Toolbelt
®
software.
Configure the control processor using Extron Global Configurator
®
software (Global Configurator Professional [GC Professional]
or Global Configurator Plus [GC Plus]), or program the control processor using Extron Global Scripter
®
(GS). The IPCP integrates
seamlessly with Extron GlobalViewer
®
Enterprise (GVE) software and Extron Control apps for remote control applications. These
control processors support multiple TouchLink
®
Pro touchpanel interfaces over a standard Ethernet network. The software
applications are available at
www.extron.com
.
