What This Guide Covers
This user guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install an Extron
IP Link Pro Control Processor. This guide provides detailed information and recommends
best practices for cabling the control processor. It provides a brief overview of the
configuration process, and reference information.
Configure the control processor using Extron Global Configurator software running in
Global Configurator Professional (GC Professional) or Global Configurator Plus (GC Plus)
mode, or program it using Global Scripter. This guide does not contain instructions on
detailed software-related setup steps or details of configuration within the software: those
are covered in the
Global Configurator Help File , the Global Scripter Help File , and help
files for related programs. The software help files describe how to use each program to
download drivers, add AV devices to a configuration, configure basic functions, and set up
schedules, macros, e-mail alerts, touchpanel button configurations, and the like.
