A key advantage of our approach is that
the Global Viewer operates in a standard
Web browser and is not based on an Extron
proprietary application that requires users
to learn a new programming language in
order to use it, nor is there any lengthy
certification process to master.
Configuring the Global Viewer
Creating Global Viewer pages is simple
and intuitive. Once all system hardware is
installed and connected, the Extron Global
Viewer Configuration Utility can be run on
any
PC on the network. The Global Viewer
Configuration
Utility contains several
intuitive screens for adding devices, setting
IP address information, configuring serial
ports, and defining management options.
The configuration utility automatically
generates HTML-based Web pages and
loads device drivers based on device
information provided and management
options selected. Web pages are stored on
the IP Link control interface and can be
viewed from any computer with access to
the network.
Web pages produced by the configuration
utility are fully customizable once created.
Using standard HTML editing tools, you
can add images and logos, and modify
text and background colors, creating a user
interface that reflects your brand or your
user’s requests.
So, why implement a Web-based control
and management system with IP Link and
Global Viewer? The most compelling benefits
can be illustrated using the three key
functions of the Global Viewer: control,
monitor, and schedule.
Control
The Global Viewer turns any standard
Web browser into a universal remote. With
IP Link technology, any device in the room
currently controlled by a handheld remote
or a control panel on the wall can be
networked together and controlled from
a single interface. These can include devices
such as projectors, VCRs, switchers,
screens, lights, and thermostats. Thanks to
