EBDB • Setup Guide
The Extron EBDB is an eBUS®signal distribution hub for use with eBUS-enabled IP Link®Pro control processors. It includes ten
eBUS ports, connected in parallel, which allows each port to act as an input or an output for communication between IPCPPro
control processors and other eBUS devices. A front panel LED indicates when power is present on one or more of the ports.
The EBDB does not need to be set up. Other components of an eBUS-enabled system (an IPCPPro control processor and eBUS
peripheral products such as EBPs [eBUS button panels]) must be configured using Extron Global Configurator (GC) software (in
GCProfessional or GCPlus mode), which is available at www.extron.com.

Figure 3. eBUS Wiring for a System with Two Power Sources
Installation
1. Mount the EBDB and the IPCPPro to the rack or furniture (see Mounting on page3).
2. Connect the EBDB and any eBUS endpoint devices to each other in a daisy-chain or a star arrangement. Wire both ends of
each cable the same (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, and so forth).
3. Connect the IPCPPro to the EBDB, making sure that both ends of the cable are wired the same.
NOTE: See the attention information in figure 3 so you do not connect the power pins (labeled V+) on the EBDB to two
powered devices. Power should be supplied to the EBDB by only one source.
4. Connect power to the devices, connect the IPCPPro to a network, and set up the IPCPPro and its connected eBUS
endpoint devices.
Additional Instructions, Information, and Assistance
• Instructions on configuration are available in the user and setup guides for the IPCPPro control processor and for the eBUS
endpoints, and in the Global Configurator Help file. The Global Configurator Help file includes an introduction to the software
and how to start a GC project, as well as instructions on configuration.
• See the user guides for each eBUS product for details about eBUS addresses and about firmware updates.
• Software, help files, and guides are all available at www.extron.com.
• If you have questions during installation and setup, call the ExtronS3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline or the Extron S3
Control Systems Support Hotline [phone]).
See the eBUS Technology Reference Guide for information
about daisy chain and star topographies.

Using Tie Wraps for Cable Strain Relief
1. Attach the EBDB to the ZipClip 200 mounting clip as
described previously.
2. Fasten the cables to the ZipClip base.
a. Insert tie wraps (which are also called “zip ties”)
along the notches on the side of the EBDB and
through the tie wrap anchor points on the ZipClip,
then around the cord.
b. Connect and pull the tie wraps until they are
secure. Do not over tighten.
Rack Mounting
Mounting to a Rack Shelf
The EBDB is one quarter rack wide. Up to four EBDBs can
be mounted side by side directly onto a rack shelf.
1. Align the threaded holes in the bottom of the EBDB
with the holes in an Extron rack shelf and fasten the
unit to the shelf with two screws as shown below.
