The Extron IPL T S4 is a compact control processor with a high performance Web server, designed to integrate IP Internet Protocol connectivity into AV systems. The IPL T S4 gives users the ability to remotely and proactively monitor and troubleshoot projectors, flat panel displays, switchers, and other serially controlled products.
• Ethernet monitoring and control
• Supports TouchLink touchpanels
• Four bidirectional serial ports — The IPL T S4 features four 9-pin D-sub serial ports that can communicate with four RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serially controlled devices. When configured for pass-through mode, the IPL T S4 can pass through commands from an existing control system and control up to two devices.
• Supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485
• Integrated high performance Web server — Each IP Link control processor features a built-in Web server with memory available for storing device drivers, GlobalViewer, and custom user Web pages.
• Supports Ethernet device drivers — Allows for control of up to six Ethernet-enabled AV devices such as displays, switchers, and sources
• Supports industry standard communications protocols — All IP Link models use industry standard communication protocols, including ARP, ICMP, IP, TCP, UDP, DHCP, HTTP, SMTP, and Telnet.
• Simultaneous multi-user support — Each IP Link device supports multiple concurrent users, improving system throughput.
• E-mail notification enables proactive support — Technical support administrators and others can receive failure and service messages through an e-mail enabled cell phone, PDA, pager, or Internet e-mail account.
• Multiple levels of access with password protection — User access level authorizes limited entry to only pre-designated functions, while administrator access level permits full access to advanced settings.
• Free GlobalViewer® Web-based AV resource management software — ◦Configurable - Global Configurator, a Windows® based configuration utility, makes product setup simple and intuitive – no programming knowledge is required.
◦ Extensive library of device drivers — Extron has produced thousands of fully tested and uniformly modeled RS-232 and IR device drivers. These drivers are completely finished modules, not just fragments of code; each one is a fully functioning driver file designed to be uploaded to an IP Link device with no programming skills required.
◦ Internal real-time clock - Programmable operating alerts, sequencing, and automatic monitoring together with the real-time clock and calendar allow IP Link control processors to routinely check configured devices.
• Plenum rated - meets UL 2043 for heat and smoke release, excluding power supply
• Highly reliable, energy-efficient external universal power supply included,
