IPL T S4	Four serial ports	60-544-83	Retired

This product has been retired.

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.

The IP Link Series uses Extron's exclusive IP Link technology, a high performance intelligent network integration solution specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional AV environments, from large universities and businesses to small home installations. Multiple Ethernet-enabled AV products can be managed and supported by a technician or administrator at any time from any computer with a Web browser.

Four Serial Ports

The IPL T S4 features four 9-pin D-sub serial ports that can control four RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial devices directly. When configured for pass-through mode, the IPL T S4 can pass through commands from an existing control system and control two different devices.

High Performance Web Server

IP Link interfaces use an integrated, high performance Web server with memory available for storing HTML, JavaScript, Flash™ animation, and graphics files. When used with GlobalViewer®, a free, Web-based AV resource management software, users can access a variety of AV products connected to a network. For example, users can check the activity and status of a projector's power, connections, lamp life, or temperature, or even turn off all projectors at once — all from the convenience of a single monitoring station.

Proactive Service and Security

Proactive service, support, and preventive maintenance are also possible with IP Link and GlobalViewer. 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. For secure installations that do not allow Internet access, online monitoring can still be performed proactively. Within an existing secure infrastructure, e-mail notification of failures and repairs is possible without compromising the security of the AV systems and facility.

Features

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

External Extron Everlast™ power supply included, replacement part #70-1175-01 — Provides worldwide power compatibility with high‑demonstrated reliability and low power consumption
