EBDB Mini • Setup Guide
The Extron EBDB Mini is an eBUS
®
power and signal distribution hub for use with eBUS-enabled IP Link
®
Pro control processors.
It includes four eBUS ports, connected in parallel, which allows each port to act as an input or an output for communication
between IPCP Pro control processors and other eBUS devices. A front panel LED indicates when power is present on one or
more of the ports.
The EBDB does not need to be set up. Other components of an eBUS-enabled system (an IPCP Pro control processor and eBUS
peripheral products such as EBPs [eBUS button panels]) must be configured using Extron Global Configurator (GC) software (in
GC Professional or GC Plus mode), which is available at
