Serial Ports

Both models provide two serial ports for control of two independent serial

devices. The IPL T SF24 of

fers 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 fr

om 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.

The 0 to 24 volt incoming analog signals ar

e 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.

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.

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.

IR Ports

The IPL T SFI244 includes four fully programmable IR ports. Each IR port can

output IR signals with or without the car

rier signal using an optional wir

ed 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 fr

om our W

eb site (www

.extr

on.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 Lear

ning

The IPL T SFI244 has the ability to learn IR commands for virtually any IR

contr

ollable device. The Extr

on 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.

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. Pr

ojectors, 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.

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 Extr

on IPL T SFI244 is a compact Ether

net contr

ol inter

face with integral

Web server, two serial ports, four Flex I/O ports, four IR ports, and an IR learner.

■ Bi-dir

ectional serial ports –

Both models pr

ovide 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.

■ Four Flex I/O ports – The Flex I/O ports can be configured as

either inputs or outputs and can inter

face 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.

■ Global compatibility – All IP Link pr

oducts use industry standard

Ethernet communication protocols, including ARP, DHCP, ICMP

(ping), TCP/IP

, Telnet, HTTP, and SMTP.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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 r

eliability

, users can power up the

IPL T SF24 and IPL T SFI244 over existing Ether

net cabling (IEEE

802.3af), eliminating the need for a local power supply, or locally

with the included external, international power supply.

■ Intuitive configuration utility – The Global Viewer Configurator,

a Windows

based program makes product setup simple and

easy. Based on information provided by the user, the Global

iewer Configurator cr

eates all of the files needed to build the

Global Viewer Web-based asset management application and

uploads them to the interface; no HTML programming

knowledge is required.

■ Extensive librar

y of downloadable device drivers –

Drivers for a

wide variety of pr

ojectors, A/V devices and Extr

on pr

oducts ar

available for download fr

om the Extron Web site

(www.extron.com).

■ Global V

iewer 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 pr

oactive maintenance, event

scheduling, remote technical support, and theft alerts.
