Configuration and Control: an Overview
An NBP and the control processor or collaboration system receiver with which it works must
be configured before use in order to recognize and accept commands and pass them on to
the controlled devices. They can be configured and controlled via a host computer attached
to the same network (see LAN (Ethernet) and PoE connector and LEDs on page15
for details about the LAN port and cabling to connect the NBP button panel to the network).
• Configure the NBP and the control processor or collaboration receiver by using the
Global Configurator software (GCProfessional or GC Plus), or program the control
processor or receiver using Global Scripter. See the Extron website for full system
hardware and software requirements for GC.
• The default web pages embedded within each device provide a means to view general
hardware information, network settings, and, if configured, project information. The
embedded web pages can also be used to update the firmware. You cannot configure
these devices via the embedded web pages.
NOTE: See the diagram within LAN (Ethernet) and PoE connector and LEDs on
page15 for the default login credentials for the NBP internal web pages.
