either admin or user).
Make a note of the MAC address for the TLI Pro 201, which can be found on the rear panel label.
Mount and Cable All Devices
Mount the units. Place the TLI Pro 201 on a convenient surface, mount it in a standard rack, or use an under-table mounting
kit (see the TLI Pro 201 User Guide, at www.extron.com). To mount the third-party touchscreen follow the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
Connect cables to the TLI Pro 201 (see Rear Panel Connectors and Features on the next page).

NOTE: The USB connection passes information to the TLI Pro 201 about where on the screen the touchpanel was
pressed. If you are using a non-touch display, connect a USB mouse to the USB port on the TLI Pro 201 to click
the screen icons.
Connect the Ethernet cable. The TLI Pro 201 must be powered by Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+).
