Otherwise, the connection speed is 10 Mbps. • Link — Indicates that the interface has an active network connection. • Act — (Activity) Blinks while data is being sent or received. f Power[...]

There ar e two common types of power for electr onic devices: soft and hard . • Soft power devices normally have three power states: On, Standby , and Off. Such devices include projectors, DVD players, and VCRs. Example : On soft power devices, the Standby mode allows the unit to be powered to its Full power mode via RS-232 commands or a remote. [...]

Setting the Standby power threshold 1. Power off the attached device. 2. Press and hold the Standby button (shown at right). 3. While holding down the Standby button, press and r elease the receptacle button for the same device for which you set the Full threshold. The Standby LED for the selected r eceptacle blinks twice and r emains lit. F 1 S Re[...]

Clearing thresholds T o remove the refer ence threshold settings from any r eceptacle: 1. Shut off power to the r eceptacle that you want to clear by pr essing its button on the front panel. The r ed LED to the right of the button shuts of f. 2. Press and hold the Standby or Full button while pr essing and r eleasing the receptacle button. All thre[...]

Resetting the Unit There ar e four ways to r eset the PCS4 unit (called modes 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison with other Extron IPL pr oducts). Reset the unit by pr essing the Reset button on the front panel (see “ Fr ont Panel Featur es ” for the button location). This button is recessed; it can be accessed with a pointed stylus, bal[...]

Mode 3 Activation Hold the Reset button in until the Power LED blinks once (approximately 3 seconds). Release it, then immediately pr ess it again momentarily (for less than 1 second). NOTE: Nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second. Result T urns events on or off, depending on their current state. During resetting, the [...]

HTML Configuration and Contr ol The IPL T PCS4 must be configured befor e use, or it cannot contr ol other devices. In addition to using the buttons on the PCS4 front panel, you can configur e and contr ol the PCS4 via any computer attached to a LAN by using the embedded web pages or SIS commands. This section describes the web pages and provides i[...]

3. If the PCS4 has never been configured and is still set for factory defaults, skip to step 4 . If not, perform a mode 4 system reset to r estor e the factory-set values (see “ Resetting the Unit ” in the “Front Panel Featur es and Operations” section for the r esetting procedur e). NOTE: The PCS4 must be configured with the factory defa[...]

The response should be the new IP addr ess of the PCS4, as shown below . Figure 10. Screen Showing the Ping Command Y ou can reconnect using either T elnet or a web browser to verify that the update was successful. 6. After verifying that the IP address change was successful, issue the arp -d command at the DOS prompt to r emove the addr ess from t[...]

Setting up the computer for IP communication Follow these steps to set up communication between your computer and the PCS4. NOTE: The procedur e and illustrations in this section ar e for Windows XP . For other Windows versions, the screens may appear slightly differ ent. 1. Open the Network Connections page as follows: a. From the Start menu, sele[...]

4. Write down your the curr ent IP addr ess of your computer and its subnet mask below . Y ou will need to restor e these settings to the computer later . If an IP address automatically has been selected, make a note of that. If not, write down the following: IP address: __________________________ Subnet mask: __________________________ 5. Change t[...]

7. Set up the PCS4 IP address (see “ Configuring the IPL T PCS4 using a web br owser ,” later in this section, for the procedur e). After the PCS4 has been reconfigur ed, an Ethernet (intranet or Inter net) connection can subsequently be used to configure or contr ol it. NOTE: Both your computer and the PCS4 must be connected to the same LAN. [...]

4. IP , gateway , and subnet mask addresses follow standar d naming and numbering conventions and protocol ( nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) . The IP network administrator should provide the addr esses to be used with this interface. Enter the new IP address assigned for the PCS4, the corr esponding subnet mask, and gateway address, then click Submit . The PCS4 t[...]

Viewing the System Status The System Status web page, accessed by clicking the Status tab, provides information on the current settings.

The following sections discuss the tasks that you can perform on these screens. Specifying system settings On the System Settings screen, you can set the date and time, and cha[...]

• Subnet mask : The subnet mask is used to split IP networks into a series of subgroups (subnets). The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address to turn part of the host ID address field into a field for subnets. Y ou can enter a new subnet mask address using the same format that is used for the IP Addr ess. Date and time [...]

Assigning passwords The Passwords scr een allows you to assign passwor ds to the administrator and user access levels. The administrator password gives access to all IPL T PCS4 web pages, enabling the administrator to configure the PCS4. The user password pr ovides access only to the System Status web page. If you ar e logged in as user , you see o[...]

Entering e-mail addresses for alerts If you have created scheduled events or monitoring tasks on the PCS4, you can write an e-mail alert with a message corresponding to that event or task (for example, a change in power level for one of the attached devices).
