Configure or Program the Control Processor and Touchpanels
 If TouchLinkPro touchpanels are part of the system, start and use GUIDesigner
to design, save, and build the graphical user interface (GUI) layout for the
touchpanels (see the GUIDesigner Help File for instructions).
NOTE: To redeem (activate) a LinkLicense, go to www.extron.com/llredeem and
follow the online instructions.
A LinkLicense unlocks features that add convenience, expand system options,
and enhance the capabilities of your Extron products. For IPCPPro systems, a
LinkLicense allows you to use a mobile device or computer as the primary control
interface in an Extron control system where a TouchLink Pro touchpanel may not
be present.
 If using GC, create a new GCProfessional or GCPlus project and configure the
control processor and other IP Link Pro devices. The configuration tells the control
processor:
• How its ports function • What to monitor
• How to control other products • When to do things
• Which touchpanels to interact with • Whom to notify, how, and under what
circumstances
 Configure ports on the control processor:
 Select device drivers and link them to each serial, IR/serial, or Ethernet port.
 Select settings (serial protocol, relay behavior, digital I/O or flex I/O settings) as
needed.
 Add eBUS devices and set them up:
 Ensure that the hardware address (eBUS ID) set on each device is distinct and
matches the address used in the configuration.
 Assign button functions as desired.
 Set up monitors, schedules, macros, and local variables.
 Add touchpanels and set them up:
 Upload the GUI configuration to the Global Configurator project.
 Assign any appropriate functions, monitors, or schedules to the touchpanels
and their buttons.
 If not using GC Professional or GC Plus, use Global Scripter to program the
control system as desired.
 Program ports on the control processor:
 Program each serial, IR/serial, or Ethernet port.
 Program relay behavior, digital I/O, and flex I/O settings as needed.
 Add eBUS devices and set them up:
 Ensure that the hardware address set on each device is distinct and matches
the addresses programmed for them in the IPCP.
 Program button functions as desired.
 Add touchpanels and set them up:
 Upload the GUI configuration to the Global Scripter project.
 Program functions, monitors, or schedules to the touchpanels and their
buttons.
