FPC 6000 • Setup Guide
Overview
The Extron FPC 6000 uses an Extron TLP Pro 1520M TouchLink®touchscreen to provide an
intuitive 15-inch front panel controller for Extron FOX®matrix switchers. The FPC 6000 is a
stand-alone device that does not require an external controller. This guide provides instructions
for experienced installers to mount and install the touchpanel.
Setup Checklist
The FPC 6000 touchpanel ships with a Power over Ethernet (PoE) power injector and a 7U high, 19-inch wide, rack-mountable
metal panel.
Get Ready
Obtain the following network information from your network administrator:
DHCP status — on or off. If DHCP is off, you must also obtain the following:
IP address — by default, this is 192.168.254.251
Subnet mask — by default, this is 255.255.255.0
Gateway — by default, this is 0.0.0.0
User name — by default, this is admin
Password — the factory congured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial num-
ber. Passwords are case sensitive.
NOTES:
• If the device is reset to default settings, the password is the default password configuration. The default
password, extron.
• To change the password, use the Extron Toolbelt utility (see the Toolbelt Help File). Contact your Extron
representative about obtaining a license for Toolbelt.
• The password can also be changed via the device’s webpage.
IP address for the matrix switcher
Username is for the matrix switcher
Password is for the matrix switcher (see the user guide for your matrix switcher for information about the password).
Mount and Cable All Devices
NOTE: The FPC 6000 ships with a PoE power injector. You can use a 12 VDC 3.0 A power supply instead, but that power
supply must be purchased separately.
ATTENTION:
• Do not power on the touchpanels or control processors until you have read the Attention in the “Rear Panel Features”
section of the FPC 6000 User Guide.
• Ne branchez pas les écrans tactiles ou les contrôleurs avant d’avoir lu la mise en garde dans la section «Rear Panel
Features » du FPC 6000UserGuide.
Choose a suitable location and mount the units. When the FPC 6000 ships it is already mounted in a 7U high, 19-inch
wide, rack-mountable metal panel. Secure the panel to any standard instrument rack or console (see Mounting on the
next page).
A Power over Ethernet power injector is provided with the FPC 6000. Connect the power injector to the FPC 6000 (see
figure 4 on page 4).
Connect the power injector to the LAN and power it on (see figure 4).

FPC 6000 • Setup Guide (Continued)
Set up the FPC 6000 for
Network Communication
Use the Setup Menu (see page 4) to set the DHCP status and,
if necessary, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and related
settings for the touchpanel.
The FPC 6000 requires no further conguration.
Mounting
Extron recommends mounting the FPC 6000 in a rack, using the
provided rack mounting panel. However, wall mounting the FPC
6000 is another option.
ATTENTION:
• All structural steps and electrical installation
must be performed by qualified personnel in
accordance with local and national building
codes and electrical codes.
• Toute étape structurelle et installation électrique,
doit être effectuée par un personnel qualifié,
conformément aux codes du bâtiment, aux
codes incendie et sécurité, et aux codes
électriques, locaux et nationaux.
1. Decide where the FPC 6000, pre-installed in a 7U high,
19-inch wide, rack-mountable panel, will be mounted.
2. Use the four provided rack-mounting screws to secure the FPC 6000 to any standard equipment rack or control console.
Follow the instructions in the Underwriters Laboratories Guidelines for Rack Mounting (see the FPC 6000 User Guide,
available at www.extron.com) to ensure the rack is mounted safely.

Wall Mounting the FPC 6000
The FPC 6000 can also be wall-mounted, either using the Extron BB 700M wall box or directly into drywall. To use the BB 700M,
see the TLP Pro 1220MG, TLP Pro 1520MG, and TLP Pro 1720MG Setup Guides, at www.extron.com.
Some local building codes require the touchpanel to be mounted in a wall box. If the wall box is not required by local building
codes, you can mount the touchpanel directly into drywall.
ATTENTION:
• Do not install the FPC 6000 in a fire resistant rated wall or partition assembly.
• Ne pas installer le FPC 6000 dans un mur résistant au feu ou une cloison.
• All structural steps and electrical installation must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local and
national building codes and electrical codes.
• Toute étape structurelle et installation électrique, doit être effectuée par un personnel qualifié, conformément aux codes
du bâtiment, aux codes incendie et sécurité, et aux codes électriques, locaux et nationaux.

Wall Mounting Installation
1. Download the cut-out template for the TLP Pro
1520MG from www.extron.com. Print it at 100%
(no scaling).
2. Use the template to mark the wall, cut the hole, and
drill the four pilot holes (see figure 2, 1).
The size of the cut-out hole is 8.90 inches (226 mm)
wide by 5.70 inches (145 mm) high.
3. The FPC 6000 ships, already mounted, in a
rackmountable metal panel. Remove the FPC 6000,
and unscrew the mounting plate from the panel.
4. Secure the mounting plate to the mounting
surface with four #10 screws (2). Use screws and
fasteners that are appropriate for the mounting
surface.
5. Run and connect cables to the back of the
touchpanel (3, see Rear Panel Features on the
next page).
6. Insert the two provided Phillips pan head #6-32 x
¾-inch screws with washers in the mounting screw
slot (4, see figure 4,Jon the next page). Leave
a gap for the ange at the bottom of the mounting
plate to t into (6).
7. Hold the touchpanel at a slight angle and lower the
notches at the top of the back panel (5) over the
hooks of the mounting plate.
8. Swing down the bottom of the touchpanel so it lies
flat against the mounting plate. The flange at the
bottom of the mounting plate sits in a groove in the
bottom of the touchpanel (6).
9. Secure the touchpanel to the mounting plate with
the mounting screws (7).
