IPL T S Series • Introduction 3
Features
Support for bidirectional RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial communication —
Allows remote and proactive monitoring and troubleshooting of serially-controlled devices.
NOTE: The IPL T S1 supports RS-232 only.
Serial port pass-through — Two-, four-, and six-port models can be configured
for pass-through mode, enabling each pair of ports on the interfaces to pass through
commands and control a single device.
web-based AV asset management — When used with GlobalViewer software, the IPL
T S interfaces provide a powerful, flexible way to manage, monitor, and control projectors,
flat-panel displays, and other devices using a standard Ethernet network.
Integral, high performance web server — Each IPL T S interface features a built-in
web server with memory available for storing device drivers, GlobalViewer, and development
of your own web pages using “off-the-shelf” web authoring software.
Industry standard Ethernet protocols — All IPL T S models support industry standard
Ethernet communication protocols, including ARP, DHCP, ICMP, UDP/IP, TCP/IP, Telnet,
HTTP, and SMTP, accessed through an RJ-45 auto-sense
10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN connection.
Simultaneous multi-user support — Each IPL T S interface supports multiple
concurrent users, improving system throughput.
E-mail capabilities to enable support — With e-mail notification, technical support
administrators 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.
NOTE: The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set
to the device serial number. In the event of an absolute system reset, the passwords
convert to the default, which is no password.
Configuration utility — Global Configurator software, a free, easy-to-use
Windows®-based configuration utility, makes product setup simple and intuitive —no
programming knowledge is required.
Extensive library of device drivers — Device drivers allow Extron products to control
various display and source devices, such as projectors, flat-panel displays, and DVD
players. Extron has produced thousands of fully tested and uniformly modeled RS-232 and
IR drivers.
Direct port access — Use existing software programs to control a device that has no
Ethernet support. Any existing Extron product with a serial control port can be interfaced
with a LAN.
Built-in multi-level security — A user can control access to devices attached to the
interface. Two levels of password protection provide appropriate security.
Serial port connectivity — Provides serial ports on 9-pin D and/or 3.5 mm, captive
screw connectors.
Easy configuration and control — Easily control the interface in three ways:
•The Internet Explorer®browser
•A web-based interface
•DataViewer (or a standard Telnet client application)
The IPL T S series requires no centralized processor to operate within a system.
Multiple mounting options — Can be mounted under a desktop or podium, on a
projector mount, or on a rack shelf.

Installation Overview
To install and set up an IPL T S interface, follow these steps:
1. Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the video sources (DSS, cable boxes, or
other devices), the IPL T S unit, the output devices (monitors, VCRs, projectors, and so
on) and the serial controller are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.
2. Mount the IPL T S interface (see Mounting the IPL T S Interface).
3. Attach the cables (see Connecting the Hardware).
4. Connect power cords and turn on the devices in the following order: output devices
(projectors, monitors, speakers), IPL T S interface, serial controller or computer (PC),
then input devices (DSS, cable boxes, and so on).
5. Configure the IPL T S interface through DataViewer or Telnet, then access the unit using
an Internet browser.
Mounting the IPL T S Interface
UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of an IPL T
S Series unit onto a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer [Tma = +32 to +122 °F
(0 to +50 °C)].
2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

IPL T S Series • Installation and Operation 5
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
Mounting Options
All units are easily mounted in a rack, under a desk or podium, or on a projector mount.

IPL T S Series interface devices can be used to control display devices, switchers, and other
AV equipment via an RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 connection.
Factory default protocol for the control interface is:
• RS-232 •8 data bits •pacing = 0 ms
• 9600 baud •1 stop bit •handshaking = off
• no parity
Communication to an attached device can be done through the IPL T S Series device
default web pages or by using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands.
The rear panel 9-pin D connector COM ports have the following pin assignments:
Pin Function RS-232 RS-422 RS-485
2 Receive Data/Receive Data - RX RX- Data -
(pins 2 + 3 tied)
3 Transmit Data/ Transmit Data - TX TX-
5 Signal Ground GND GND GND
7 Request to Sent/Transmit Data + RTS TX+ Data +
(pins 7 + 8 tied)
8 Clear to Send/Receive Data + CTS RX+
NOTE: The IPL T S1 uses RS-232 only.

COM ports 1 and 2 of the IPL T S2 can be wired in a similar way as the IPL T S6, as shown
in figure 11. Both can be wired using a 3.5 mm, 5-pole or 3-pole captive screw connector.
NOTE: The IPL T S2 allows for use of either the 9-pin D connector on COM1 or COM2.
The 9-pin D connector COM ports and the captive screw connector COM ports cannot
be connected simultaneously.
Identification
¢UID # — The unique user ID number (MAC address) of the unit (for example, 00-05-A6-
00-00-01).
Operation
Connect power cords and turn on the output display devices (projectors, monitors, VCRs),
control devices (switchers, scalers, distribution amplifiers), interface, and input devices (PC,
laptop, network equipment).
Check indicator LEDs on the PC/laptop, on the interface, on the network hub/router, and so
on, to ensure that all the devices are plugged in and communicating. The IPL T S interface is
now ready to be configured (see Connection and Configuration starting on page14).
If connection or communication problems occur, see Troubleshooting on page52. If
the troubleshooting tips do not help, check with your local network administrator, or call the
Extron S3Sales & Technical Support Hotline.
Front Panel Indicators
The front panels of the IPL T S interfaces have several indicator LEDs that show the current
status of communications to and from the unit. A reset button (b) is also available from the
front panel, in a small recess next to the Power LED.

Resetting the Unit
There are five reset modes available by pressing the Reset button (2) on the side panel.
The Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to
access it. See the following table for a summary of the modes.
ATTENTION:
• Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result in
unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or a controller
reboot.
• Analysez minutieusement les différents modes de réinitialisation. Appliquer
le mauvais mode de réinitialisation peut causer une perte inattendue de la
programmation de la mémoire flash, une reconfiguration des ports ou une
réinitialisation du processeur.
• The reset modes listed below (with the exception of Mode 2) close all open IP and
Telnet connections and close all sockets.
• Les modes de réinitialisation répertoriés ci-dessous (à l’exception du Mode 2)
ferment toutes les connexions IP et Telnet ouvertes ainsi que les prises de courant.
• If the Reset button is continuosly held down, every three seconds the LED pulses
(blinks) and puts the unit in a different mode. The Mode 5 LED blinks three times,
the third blink indicating that it is the last mode. The following modes are separate
functions, not a continuation from Mode 1 to Mode 5.

IPL T S Series • Installation and Operation 13
Reset Mode Comparison/Summary
Mode Activation Results Purpose
1Hold down the recessed Reset
button while applying power to
the IPL T S unit.
NOTE: After a mode 1 reset
is performed, update the
unit firmware to the latest
version. Do not operate the
unit firmware version that
results from the mode 1
reset. If you want to use the
factory default firmware, you
must upload that version
again.
The unit reverts to the factory default firmware.
Event scripting will not start if the unit is powered
on in this mode. All user files and settings (drivers,
adjustments, IP settings, and so forth) are maintained.
NOTE: If you do not want to update firmware, or
you performed a mode 1 reset by mistake, cycle
power to the unit to return to the firmware version
that was running prior to the mode 1 reset. Use
the 0Q SIS command to confirm that the factory
default firmware is no longer running (look for
asterisks following the version number.)
Use mode 1 to revert to the
factory default firmware version if
incompatibility issues arise with
user-loaded firmware.
2Press and release the Reset
button. Within 2 seconds type
+++ on the keyboard.
NOTE: If the three +signs
(+++) are not entered in
the 2-second time frame,
the COM port becomes a
control port only.
The connected COM port becomes a console port to
send SIS commands. Scripting remains on.
Mode 2 enables the SIS console
port.
3Hold down the Reset button for
about 3 sec. until the Reset LED
blinks once.
Then press Reset momentarily
(<1 sec.) within 1 second.
Mode 3 turns events on or off.
During resetting, the Reset LED flashes 2 times if
events are starting, 3 times if events are stopping.
Mode 3 is useful for
troubleshooting.
4Hold down the Reset button for
about 6 seconds. until the Reset
LED has blinked twice (once at 3
seconds, again at 6 seconds).
Then press Reset momentarily
(for <1 second) within 1 second.
• Enables ARP capability.
• Sets the IP address back to factory default
(192.168.254.254).
• Sets the subnet back to factory default.
• Sets the default gateway address back to the
factory default.
• Sets port mapping back to factory default.
• Turns DHCP off.
• Turns events off.
The Reset LED flashes 4 times in quick succession
during the reset.
Mode 4 enables you to set IP
address information using ARP
and the MAC address.
5Hold down the Reset button for
about 9 sec. until the Reset LED
has blinked three times (once at
3 seconds, again at 6 s seconds,
again at 9 seconds).
Then press Reset momentarily
(for <1 second) within 1 second.
Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory defaults
(except the firmware).
• Does everything mode 4 does.
• Resets almost all the real time adjustments: all
audio settings, limit initial power up volume, power
up/down delay, auto power down, and misc.
options. This does not affect an optional MLS
switcher, however.
• Clears driver-port associations and port
configurations (IR/RS-232).
• Removes button configurations.
• Resets all IP options.
• Removes scheduling settings.
• Removes/clears all files from switcher.
The Reset LED flashes 4 times in quick succession
during the reset.
Mode 5 is useful if you want to
start over with configuration and
uploading, and also to replace
events.
