IP Link extends the support staff’s reach, giving technicians the power to troubleshoot and solve many typical problems remotely. With access to real-time A/V device status, such as power on or off, and current input selection, technicians can often restore system operation in minutes. The result is time saved and a reduced level of frustration for users. C NC 100 Screen LINK Control ACT Relay Box 1 M2 TCP/IP 00-05-A6-xx-xx-xx Network VOL operations. For instance, an administrator may want to configure projectors and other devices to power on or off at preset times. User-defined tasks are easy to configure and schedule with IP Link. Scheduling tasks and setting up e-mail reminders is simple and straightforward and doesn’t require high-level programming skills. Extron IPL T RLY4 C NC C NC DV RX Centralized Asset Management and Monitoring Using IP Link hardware along with the Global Viewer Web-based asset management application, a technical administrator can track the activity and status of all connected A/V devices. Multiple rooms of equipment can be viewed simultaneously, by location or device type. IP Link makes up-to-the-minute data available like serial numbers, maintenance history, usage data, current status, and installed firmware, all viewable from any computer on the network. With IP Link’s e-mail functionality, accessed via the Global Viewer, devices can be configured to proactively manage themselves. For instance, a projector can be polled routinely to track lamp usage and total life time. When lamp usage reaches a predetermined number of hours, the IP Link interface can send an e-mail, reminding technicians to replace the lamp. Ethernet Network2 Interface NO NO C NC 3 La PC Y4 LA Y3 LA Y2 LA NO NO IR RX TX At its core, each IP Link Ethernet control interface is a complete, high performance, Web server with robust computing power. Each one contains a very fast processor with a latency, or delay, of less than one millisecond from the time it receives a command to the time it acts on that command. As a result, Web pages are served many times faster than similar products, so data is refreshed at a consistently high speed. The core technology and high performance architecture of IP Link interfaces makes them ideal for implementing A/V system management over the most widely available transport medium today, the corporate IP network. 4 RE EX WER DSS Receiver 3 RE FL RX TX 2 RE -xx PO V X 12 MA .5A 1 Y1 LA xx -xx- I/O UI Remote Monitoring, Scheduling and Control ETHERNET CONTROL INTERFACES I/O RE A6 -0500 Ethernet Network Interface 2 CO 05 12 30 D# Extron R 1 IPL T SFI244 RX Projector TX Ethernet Control Interface NO NO CTS AY REL AY REL Extron IPL T RLY4 Relay box Extron IPL T SFI244 Projector RS-232 Screen Control RTS AY 4 Motion Detector Screen Control Motion Detector IR The IPL T SF24 and IPL T SFI244 use Extron’s exclusive IP technology, a high performance intelligent network solution specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments, from large universities and businesses to small presentation environments.

DESCRIPTION SPECIFICATIONS FEATURES The Extron IPL T SF24 and IPL T SFI244 are part of the IP Link™ family of ethernet control interfaces which are designed to integrate Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity into A/V systems. Projectors, plasma displays, switchers, A/V sources, lights, drapes, and many other devices can now be added to an existing computer network, enabling asset management and remote monitoring. Serial Ports Both models provide two serial ports for control of two independent serial devices. The IPL T SF24 offers flexible connectivity via either 9-pin D-sub ports for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 devices or captive screw ports (RS-232 only). The IPL T SFI244 offers RS-232 connectivity (only) on captive screw ports. When configured for pass-through mode, the interfaces can pass through commands from an existing control system and also control and monitor attached devices. Flex I/O Ports The IPL T SF24 and IPL T SFI244 each have four Flex I/O ports. These flexible ports can be configured as analog in, digital in, or digital out. They support digital and analog signals from 0 to 24 volts, allowing a wide variety of devices to be controlled or monitored. IPL T SF24 The Extron IPL T SF24 is a compact Ethernet control interface with integral Web server, two serial ports, and four Flex I/O ports. The Extron IPL T SFI244 is a compact Ethernet control interface with integral Web server, two serial ports, four Flex I/O ports, four IR ports, and an IR learner. Model Serial Ports Flex I/O Ports IR Ports IPL T SF24 (2) RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 4 0 IPL T SFI244 (2) RS-232 4 4 ■ Four Flex I/O ports – The Flex I/O ports can be configured as either inputs or outputs and can interface with devices such as relays, LEDs, and switches. The ports can also be configured to receive analog voltages for use with photo sensors, level feedback, and more. ■ IR learning capability – The IPL T SFI244 can be configured to learn IR codes from a device's IR remote, enabling Web-based control of many popular A/V devices via the network. The 0 to 24 volt incoming analog signals are sampled with 12-bit precision. Voltage thresholds can be set. When a threshold is passed, the IPL T SF24 or IPL T SFI244 can be configured to send out a serial command, an e-mail, or trigger another event. As an example, a thermal sensor installed in an equipment rack can be connected to one of the Flex I/O ports. The IPL T SF24 or IPL T SFI244 can be configured to send an e-mail if the rack temperature exceeds a specific temperature. ■ Global compatibility – All IP Link products use industry standard Ethernet communication protocols, including ARP, DHCP, ICMP (ping), TCP/IP, Telnet, HTTP, and SMTP. When configured as digital inputs, the Flex I/O ports can connect to switches, motion sensors, moisture sensors, and tally feedback. This provides the ability to receive status from a variety of devices including projector lifts, motorized projection screens, room partition switches, and push buttons. ■ High performance architecture – Web pages are served many times faster (6 Mbit/sec transfer rate) than similar products, so data is refreshed at a consistently high speed. When configured as digital outputs, the Flex I/O ports can drive LEDs, incandescent lamps, or other devices. For applications that require contact closure control, the Flex I/O ports can interface with an Extron IPA T RLY4, an IP Link accessory featuring four isolated relays. IPL T SFI244 ■ Bi-directional serial ports – Both models provide two serial ports for control of two independent serial devices. When configured for pass-through mode, the interfaces can pass through commands from an existing control system and also control and monitor attached devices. IR Ports The IPL T SFI244 includes four fully programmable IR ports. Each IR port can output IR signals with or without the carrier signal using an optional wired IR emitter or IR broadcaster. IR control data can be collected and stored in two ways: IR data file download and IR learning. Extron maintains a large library of IR data files that can be downloaded from our Web site (www.extron.com) for storage in the IPL T SFI244. The IPL T SFI244 will power four IR emitters; each can be located up to 400 feet away. IR Learning The IPL T SFI244 has the ability to learn IR commands for virtually any IR controllable device. The Extron IR Learner software, on intuitive PC-based application for assisting with IR learning and managing IR data files, is available at no charge and can be downloaded from the Extron Web site. ■ Global Viewer Web-based asset management application – The Extron Global Viewer software is the free Web-based asset management and control application designed specifically for IP Link network interfaces. The Global Viewer enables asset management functions including proactive maintenance, event scheduling, remote technical support, and theft alerts. Control Screen Remotely control basic functions such as power, volume, and inputs. Monitor Screen Remotely monitor power and projector lamp hours. Schedule Screen Conveniently schedule troubleshooting, automatic monitoring, or system power. ■ Integral Web server – Each IP Link interface features a built-in Web server with 1.25 MB of flash memory for storing the Global Viewer management application and any user customized web pages. ■ Multi-user support – Each IP Link device supports multiple concurrent users, improving system throughput by sending information in parallel. ■ Multiple levels of security with password protection – User access level authorizes limited entry to only pre-designated functions, while administrator access level permits full access to advanced settings. ■ Real-time clock – Programmable operating alerts, sequencing, and automatic monitoring with the internal real-time clock and calendar allow IP Link interfaces to routinely check a connected device. ■ Power options – For added reliability, users can power up the IPL T SF24 and IPL T SFI244 over existing Ethernet cabling (IEEE 802.3af), eliminating the need for a local power supply, or locally with the included external, international power supply.
