PRELIMINARY
MLC 226 Series • Software-and Web Page-based Setup and Control
Controlling the MLC 226 IP via Global Viewer™
The MLC controller can be used as part of a network of devices based on Extron
IP Link
™
technology, such as IP Link interfaces. Global Viewer Configurator is a
Windows-based program used for configuring and customizing the Web
browser-based Global Viewer application for each IP Link interface on a network.
Once configured, the Global Viewer allows the user to manage, monitor, and
control connected devices.
At this time the Global Viewer Configurator cannot be used to configure an MLC,
but it can be used to install Global Viewer Web pages on the controller, allowing
an additional way to access basic control functions and controller system
settings via a Web browser. Refer to the Global Viewer Help file for information on
how to use that software.
Two screens for the controller are available via Global Viewer: Control and Info.
If the controller has been configured with passwords, the Global Viewer Web
pages are password protected. Although default embedded Web pages are
accessible via the Global Viewer Web pages, nonadministrators (people with
user access) are able to access the Control and Status pages only.
The MLC requires Global Viewer Configurator version 1.5 or higher.
