1 kohm pull-up resistor and must be wired with a ground. This allows the input to be tied to devices such as motion detectors, alarms, photo eyes, etc. Users define what this input triggers via control software. 1. Connect one end of the input cable to a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector, wired appropriately, and plug it into the rear panel input port connector of the interface unit. 2. Connect the other end of the input cable to the input relay device which will provide a triggering signal.
Connection and Configuration, cont’d 1. Connect one end of the relay cable to a 8-pole captive screw connector, wired appropriately, and plug it into the rear panel relay port connector of the interface unit. 2. Connect the other end of the relay cable to the device which will be activated when the triggering signal is received. Configuring the Hardware To function together properly, both the controlling PC and the IPL T CR48 must be configured correctly.
Configuring the IPL T CR48 using the ARP command You can make use of the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command to set up an IP address for your IPL T CR48 interface. The ARP command tells your computer to associate the IPL T CR48 unit’s MAC address with the assigned IP address. You must then use Ping to access the IPL T CR48 unit, at which point the device server’s IP address will be reconfigured.
Connection and Configuration, cont’d Figure 3-3 — Executing the ARP command 5. Execute a Ping command by typing your new IP address at the command prompt. For example: ping 10.13.170.15 After issuing this command, the unit will change to the new address and start responding to the Ping requests, as shown below. The IPL unit’s IP address should now be updated to the new address, and then you can reconnect using either Telnet or the Web to verify that the update was successful.
Configuring the IPL T CR48 using direct PC connection This type of connection is used initially to connect to and configure the IPL T CR48 unit. The unit’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and (optional) administrator name and password) must be changed in order to use the unit on an intranet (LAN) or on the Internet (WAN). 1. Plug one end of a CAT 5, crossover Ethernet cable into the rear panel Ethernet connector on the IPL T CR48 unit. Refer to figure 2-6 for RJ-45 connector wiring. 2.
Connection and Configuration, cont’d 9. After configuring your IPL T CR48, repeat steps 3 and 4 and change your TCP/IP settings back to their original configuration. Firmware upgrades Firmware upgrades become available as improvements are made to the versatility and functionality of the IPL T CR48. These upgrades will be available for download from the Extron Web site. For information on upgrading the firmware, see “Upgrading the firmware” in chapter 4.
IPL T CR48 4 Chapter Four Communication and Control Ports Overview Communication with the Interface Programmer’s Guide for the Telnet and Web Browser Device Control Troubleshooting
Communication and Control Ports Overview Contact closure input ports The contact closure inputs on the IPL T CR48 are able to detect a closed circuit between any of the inputs and ground. The contact closure input ports utilize a 1 kohm pull-up resistor in a TTL (5VDC) circuit to sense external switch or contact closure. By connecting one side of an external switch or relay to the contact closure ground port and the other side to one of the four contact closure input ports, logic 1 (closed) can be produced.
Communication with the Interface Web server The on-board Web server is displayed as a set of default Web pages which can be accessed via a Web browser. These pages are the primary means of communication with, and control through, the IPL T CR48 interface. Web browsers such as Netscape® Navigator (version 6.0 or higher), or Microsoft® Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher) can be used, but if using Internet Explorer, you must also have Microsoft Script (version 5.6 or higher).

IPL T CR48 B Appendix B Glossary Glossary
Glossary Glossary 10/100Base-T is Ethernet which uses Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP - Cat 5, etc.) cable, where the amount of data transmitted between two points in a given amount of time is equal to either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol which assigns an IP address to a device based on the device’s MAC or physical machine address. Contact closure refers to an encapsulated switch containing two metal wires that serve as the contact points.
Global Configurator (GC) is a windows program that, based on user input, creates a GlobalViewer (GV). GC requests system information such as which devices you have and your current list of IP addresses. With this information, GC creates a GlobalViewer for your specific devices. GC also compiles the event scripts and loads the GlobalViewer and event scripts onto the box. When using GC, the user must specify the port number for each device (for attached devices to be controlled, they must be on that port).
Glossary, cont’d Ping is a utility that tests network connections. It is used to determine if the host has an operating connection and is able to exchange information with another host. Port number is a preassigned address within a server that provides a direct route from the application to the Transport layer or from the Transport layer to the application of a TCP/IP system. Powered Ethernet is a standard (802.
