Serial Ports
Both models provide two serial ports for control of two independent serial
devices. The IPL T SF24 of
fers flexible connectivity via either 9-pin D-sub ports
for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 devices or captive screw ports (RS-232 only).
The IPL T SFI244 offers RS-232 connectivity (only) on captive screw ports.
When configured for pass-through mode, the interfaces can pass through
commands fr
om an existing control system and also control and monitor
attached devices.
Flex I/O Ports
The IPL T SF24 and IPL T SFI244 each have four Flex I/O ports. These flexible
ports can be configured as analog in, digital in, or digital out. They support
digital and analog signals from 0 to 24 volts, allowing a wide variety of devices
to be controlled or monitored.
The 0 to 24 volt incoming analog signals ar
e sampled with 12-bit precision.
Voltage thresholds can be set. When a threshold is passed, the IPL T SF24 or
IPL T SFI244 can be configured to send out a serial command, an e-mail, or
trigger another event. As an example, a thermal sensor installed in an
equipment rack can be connected to one of the Flex I/O ports. The
IPL T SF24 or IPL T SFI244 can be configured to send an e-mail if the rack
temperature exceeds a specific temperature.
When configured as digital inputs, the Flex I/O ports can connect to switches,
motion sensors, moisture sensors, and tally feedback. This provides the ability
to receive status from a variety of devices including projector lifts, motorized
projection screens, room partition switches, and push buttons.
When configured as digital outputs, the Flex I/O ports can drive LEDs,
incandescent lamps, or other devices. For applications that require contact
closure control, the Flex I/O ports can interface with an Extron IPA T RLY4, an
IP Link accessory featuring four isolated relays.
IR Ports
The IPL T SFI244 includes four fully programmable IR ports. Each IR port can
output IR signals with or without the car
rier signal using an optional wir
ed IR
emitter or IR broadcaster. IR control data can be collected and stored in two
ways: IR data file download and IR learning. Extron maintains a large library of
IR data files that can be downloaded fr
om our W
eb site (www
.extr
on.com) for
storage in the IPL T SFI244. The IPL T SFI244 will power four IR emitters; each
can be located up to 400 feet away.
IR Lear
ning
The IPL T SFI244 has the ability to learn IR commands for virtually any IR
contr
ollable device. The Extr
on IR Learner software, on intuitive PC-based
application for assisting with IR learning and managing IR data files, is available
at no charge and can be downloaded from the Extron Web site.
The Extron IPL T SF24 and IPL T SFI244 are part of the IP Link™ family of
ethernet control interfaces which are designed to integrate Internet Protocol
(IP) connectivity into A/V systems. Pr
ojectors, plasma displays, switchers, A/V
sources, lights, drapes, and many other devices can now be added to an
existing computer network, enabling asset management and remote
monitoring.
The Extron IPL T SF24 is a compact Ethernet control interface with integral
Web server, two serial ports, and four Flex I/O ports.
The Extr
on IPL T SFI244 is a compact Ether
net contr
ol inter
face with integral
Web server, two serial ports, four Flex I/O ports, four IR ports, and an IR learner.

■ Integral Web server – Each IP Link interface features a built-in
Web server with 1.25 MB of flash memory for storing the Global
Viewer management application and any user customized web
pages.
■ High performance architecture – Web pages are served many
times faster (6 Mbit/sec transfer rate) than similar products, so
data is refreshed at a consistently high speed.
■ Multi-user support – Each IP Link device supports multiple
concurrent users, improving system throughput by sending
information in parallel.
■ Multiple levels of security with password protection – User
access level authorizes limited entry to only pre-designated
functions, while administrator access level permits full access to
advanced settings.
■ Real-time clock – Programmable operating alerts, sequencing,
and automatic monitoring with the internal real-time clock and
calendar allow IP Link interfaces to routinely check a connected
device.
■ Power options – For added r
eliability
, users can power up the
IPL T SF24 and IPL T SFI244 over existing Ether
net cabling (IEEE
802.3af), eliminating the need for a local power supply, or locally
with the included external, international power supply.
■ Intuitive configuration utility – The Global Viewer Configurator,
a Windows
®
based program makes product setup simple and
easy. Based on information provided by the user, the Global
V
iewer Configurator cr
eates all of the files needed to build the
Global Viewer Web-based asset management application and
uploads them to the interface; no HTML programming
knowledge is required.
■ Extensive librar
y of downloadable device drivers –
Drivers for a
wide variety of pr
ojectors, A/V devices and Extr

■ Global V
iewer Web-based asset management application –
The Extron Global Viewer software is the free Web-based asset
management and control application designed specifically for IP
Link network interfaces. The Global Viewer enables asset
management functions including pr
oactive maintenance, event
scheduling, remote technical support, and theft alerts.
