Installation
Overview
1. Before starting, download and install the latest versions of the following software:
GUI Designer — for designing layouts for Extron TouchLink Pro touchpanels and third
party touch interfaces.
Global Configurator Plus and Professional — for setting up and configuring the
control processor and touchpanel.
Toolbelt — provides device discovery, device information, firmware updates,
and configuration of network settings, system utilities, and user management for
TouchLinkPro devices.
See Configuration Software on page 14.
2. Obtain the following network information from your network administrator:
DHCP status (On or Off). If DHCP is off, you also require
IP address
Subnet mask
Gateway
User name — this can be either admin or user.
Password — by default this is extron (for either admin or user).
MAC address — make a note of the touchpanel MAC address.
3. Connect cables to the units:
ATTENTION:
• Do not power on the touchpanels or control processors until you have read the
Attention notice on page 6.
• Ne branchez pas les écrans tactiles ou les contrôleurs avant d’avoir lu les mises
en garde page6.
Connect cables to the touchpanels (see Rear Panel Features on page 5).
Connect the power cords and power on all devices (see LAN/PoE Connector on
page 5).
4. Set up the Touchpanels for Network Communication:
Connect the PC that you are using for setup, the Extron control processor, and the
touchpanel to the same Ethernet subnetwork.
Use the Setup Menu (see page 8) or Toolbelt to set the DHCP status and, if required,
the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and related settings for the touchpanel.
5. Mount the units. There are several mounting options for either touchpanel (see Mounting on
page 18).
NOTE: If you use the setup menu to configure the TLP Pro 1022M, do not mount the
unit before configuring it. You need access to the rear panel Menu button.
6. Configure the Touchpanels — the GUI Designer Help File, the Global Configurator Help File,
and the Toolbelt Help File, provide step-by-step instructions and detailed information.
The Global Configurator Help File also includes an introduction to that software and sections
on how to start a project and configuration.
