Network Port Requirements and Licensed Third-Party Software
Network administrators may find it useful to know which ports, protocols, and
services are used by the IP Link Pro control processors, TouchLink Pro Touchpanels,
Global Configurator Plus and Professional software, Toolbelt, and Extron Control
(for IPLinkPro control systems). A list of protocols used for inbound and outbound
communication for each type of device or software is available in the Pro Series
Control Product Network Ports and Licenses Guide, part 68-2961-01, available at
www.extron.com.
The control processors use various licensed third-party software packages during operation.
To view details about third-party packages and associated licensing, click the License
Information button in the internal web pages of the control processor. A License
Information window opens. To view a copy of a listed package license, in the License
Information window, click the link in the License column for the relevant package. This
opens a copy of the package license in a separate window. A list of licenses is also available
in the Pro Series Control Product Network Ports and Licenses Guide at www.extron.com.
File Types: a Key to Extron-Specific File Names
The controller uses files with the following extensions:
• .eff — This is an Extron firmware update file (see the Firmware Updates section
starting on page44 for details on firmware updates).
• .eir — These are IR driver files containing infrared commands. There is a separate
.eir file for each device the MLCPlus controls via infrared communication. Via Global
Configurator, these files can be imported and associated with an IR port on a controller.
• .gcplus — This is a Global Configurator Plus configuration file.
• .gcpro — This is a Global Configurator Professional configuration file.
• .pkp — This is a driver package file.
