Installation

Overview

1. Before starting, download and install the latest versions of the following software:

 Global Configurator Plus and Global Configurator Professional — for setting up

and conﬁguring the control processor and touchpanel.

 GUI Designer — for designing layouts for Extron TouchLink Pro touchpanels and third

party touch interfaces.

See Configuration Software on page 20.

2. Obtain the following network information from your network administrator:

 DHCP status (On or Off). If DHCP is Off, you will also require

 IP address

 Subnet mask

 Gateway

 User name — by default these are either admin or user.

 Passwords — by default these are either extron (for admin) or the ﬁeld is left blank (for

user).

 MAC address — make a note of the touchpanel MAC address.

3. Mount and cable the units:

ATTENTION:

• Do not power on the touchpanels or control processors until you have read

the Attention notice on page 10 (12 VDC power supply) or on page 12 (power

injector).

• Ne branchez pas les écrans tactiles ou les contrôleurs avant d’avoir lu les mises

en garde page10 (source d’alimentation 12VCC) ou page12 (injecteur PoE).

 Mount the units. There are several mounting options for TouchLink Pro touchpanels (see

Mounting on page 23).

 Connect cables to the touchpanels. See TLP Pro 720 Series and TLP Pro 1020

Series Rear Panel Features (page 8).

 Connect the power cords and power on all devices (see Power Connector on page9

or Network and Power Injector Connector on page 11).

4. Set up the Touchpanels for Network Communication:

 Connect the PC that you will use for setup, the control processor, and the touchpanel to

the same Ethernet subnetwork.

 Use the Setup Menu (see page 14) or the Toolbelt feature of Global Conﬁgurator Plus

and Global Conﬁgurator Professional to set the DHCP status and, if necessary, the IP

address, subnet mask, gateway, and related settings for the touchpanel.

5. Conﬁgure the Touchpanels — the Global Conﬁgurator Plus and Global Conﬁgurator

Professional Help File and the GUI Designer Help File provide step-by-step instructions and

detailed information. The Global Conﬁgurator Plus and Global Conﬁgurator Professional

Help File includes an introduction to the software and sections on how to start a project and
