About the TLI Pro 101

The Extron TLI Pro 101 is a TouchLink Interface that works with any Extron IP Link Pro control processor to allow a third-party touchscreen display to be used as a point of control within an Extron Pro Series control system. The scaled output supports displays with resolutions up to 2K.

Events such as button presses on the touchpanel trigger signals to the TLI Pro 101. These signals are converted to a form that can be understood by an IP Link Pro Control Processor. When the control processor sends return signals, the TLI Pro 101 outputs a video signal to the touchpanel showing the status of feedback events. When the third-party touchpanel and TLI Pro 101 have been set up correctly, they have control system capabilities similar to other Extron TLP Pro products.

Rack Mounting

Underwriters Laboratories Guidelines for Rack Mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of these products in a rack:

Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +45 °C) specified by Extron.

Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe operation.

Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.

Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Rack Mounting the TLI Pro 101

The TLI Pro 101 can be mounted on any Extron standard rack system (not provided). See www.extron.com for a list of appropriate kits and follow the instructions included with the kit.

Network Port Requirements and Licensed Third-party Software Used by the Touchpanels

For information about network port requirements and licensed third-party software for all the touchpanels described in this guide, please refer to the Pro Series Control Product Network Ports and Licenses Guide, which is available at www.extron.com.

Reset Modes

The TLI Pro 101 has three reset modes that are initiated by pressing the Reset button:

• Use Factory Firmware
- Reset All IP Settings
- Reset to Factory Defaults
- Enable or Disable the DHCP Client

The Reset button is found on the rear panel (see figure 2, G on page 5).

Use Factory Firmware

This mode is used to boot up the unit with factory-installed firmware for a single power cycle if a firmware update fails or incompatibility issues arise with user-loaded firmware.

Activation

To start the Use Factory Firmware reset mode and replace firmware:

1. Remove power from the touchpanel.

2. On the touchpanel, hold down the recessed Reset button (see figure 2, G) while applying power to the unit. When power is restored, the Reset LED (F) lights. Hold the Reset button for a further two seconds before releasing it. The touchpanel enters factory firmware mode.

3. Upload new firmware to the unit as desired (see Updating the Firmware on page 27).

NOTE: Do not continue to operate the touchpanel using the factory firmware version. If you want to use the factory default firmware, you must upload that version again (see Updating the Firmware).

Result

The unit reverts to factory-installed firmware. Event scripting does not start if the unit is powered on in this mode. All user files and settings such as drivers, adjustments, and IP settings are maintained.

NOTE: To return the unit to the firmware version that was running prior to the reset, cycle power to the unit.

Reset All IP Settings

This mode resets all IP settings to factory defaults.

Activation

To reset all IP settings:

1. Hold down the Reset button (see figure 2, G on page 5) for about 6 seconds until the Reset LED (F) blinks twice (once at 3 seconds, again at 6 seconds).
2. Release and press the Reset button momentarily (for <1 second) within 1 second. Nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second.

Result

• Resets All IP Settings mode:
• Sets the IP address back to factory default (192.168.254.251)
• Sets the subnet mask back to factory default (255.255.255.0)
• Sets the gateway address to the factory default ( . . . )
• Sets all other IP settings, addresses, and domain and host names back to factory default
• Turns DHCP off

Reset to Factory Defaults

This mode resets all IP settings and touchpanel settings, including passwords, to factory defaults and removes all configurations. It allows you to start over with configuration and uploading.

NOTES:

• The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number. Passwords can be changed during configuration. They are case sensitive.
• If the device is reset to default settings, the passwords are reset to the default password, which is extron (for either admin or user).

Activation

To reset the unit to all factory default settings:

1. Hold down the Reset button for about 9 seconds until the Reset LED blinks three times (once at 3 seconds, again at 6 seconds, again at 9 seconds).
2. Release and press the Reset button momentarily (for <1 second) within 1 second. Nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second.

Result

Reset to Factory Defaults mode performs a complete reset to factory defaults (except the firmware).

• Does everything Reset All IP Settings mode does.
• Removes touchpanel user interface layout and configurations.
• Resets all touchpanel settings to factory default.

Enable or Disable the DHCP Client

This mode toggles between DHCP enabled and DHCP disabled. This can also be carried out from the Network screen of the Setup Menu (see page 13) and from the device Network tab in Toolbelt (see the Toolbelt Help File).

Activation

To enable or disable the DHCP client for the LAN port:

1. Press the Reset button five times, consecutively (see figure 2, G on page 5).
2. Release the button. Do not press the button within 3 seconds, following the fifth press.

Result

• If DHCP was enabled, it is now disabled. The Reset LED ( F) blinks three times.
• If DHCP was disabled, it is now enabled. The Reset LED blinks six times.

NOTES:

• By default DHCP is off and the unit uses a static IP address.
• When you disable DHCP, the unit reverts to using the previously-set static IP address.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates

Extron TouchLink Pro products ship with factory-installed SSL certificates created by Extron. If you want or are required to use a different SSL certificate at your installation site, then you can use system utilities in the Toolbelt software to change the SSL certificate at any time. The Toolbelt Help File provides instructions on how to apply an SSL certificate.

NOTES:

• You must run Toolbelt as an administrator.
• Some certificates require a passphrase that is created when the certificate is created. If a passphrase is required, you must enter that passphrase before uploading and applying the certificate.

These devices support standard OpenSSL certificate encodings such as .pem (Privacy-enhanced Electronic Mail) and .der (Distinguished Encoding Rules) file types. PEM file types are ASCII encoded and are the required format for uploading to the Extron control product. DER file types are binary encoded and can typically have several file extension variations, such as .crt and .cer. There are many standard tools that can convert from DER to PEM file encodings if needed.

NOTE: A DER format file must be converted to PEM encoding before uploading it to the button panel, control processor, or collaboration receiver.

To properly create the certificate for uploading to Extron control devices, ensure that the certificate file meets the following requirements:

• contains X.509 certificate information
• contains public and private keys
- uses PEM encoding

NOTE: ITU-T standard X.509 covers aspects of public key encryption, digital cryptography, certificates, and validation.

Contact your IT administrator for more information on what tools and policies are required to obtain or create the SSL certificate and, if necessary, the corresponding passphrase.

IEEE 802.1X Certificates

IEEE 802.1X is a standard that enables port-based network access control via an authentication server. The protocol requires that all devices must be authenticated before gaining privileges to access the secure part of the network.

The Extron implementation of 802.1X supports PEAP - MSCHAPV2 and EAP - TLS methods of authentication. This section of the guide details the Certificate File Requirements and the Private Key File Requirements to be used in the system.

Extron provides resources for learning about 802.1X implementation:

The Extron 802.1X Technology Reference Guide, available from www.extron.com, is the primary resource for background information, system planning, topology, and how to set up these systems.

The Toolbelt Help File provides detailed step-by-step information on using the software to set up 802.1X for IP Link Pro control systems and on troubleshooting.

The 802.1X Primer white paper, also available from www.extron.com, provides a general overview of the protocol and its use within a control system.

NOTES:

• You must run Toolbelt as an administrator.
  • Machine certificates require a private key file, which can be encrypted.

Certificate File Requirements

PEM (Privacy-enhanced Electronic Mail) file types are ASCII encoded, and they are the required format for 802.1X authentication for the TouchLink Pro control systems. DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) file types are binary encoded and can typically have several file extension variations, such as .crt and .cer.

NOTE: DER encoded files (files with .der, .crt, or .cer extensions that are encoded in DER binary format) must be converted to a PEM encoded file type (.pem) before being used for authentication.

DER encoded certificates must be converted to PEM encoding using a third-party tool.

Contact your IT administrator for more information on required tools.

To create the 802.1X security certificate for uploading to Extron TouchLink Pro control systems, ensure that the certificate file meets the following requirements:

• It contains X.509 certificate information.
• It contains a private key (for machine certificates only).
• It is PEM encoded.
• It has a file extension that is .crt or .pem
• Its file name consists of the following types of valid characters:
  • Alphanumerical (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) characters
• Some special characters (colon [:], underscore [__], and hyphen [-])

NOTE: Spaces are not permitted anywhere in the name.

Private Key File Requirements

Private key files are required only when employing machine certificates. Follow these requirements for creating a private key:

• Its file name consists of the following types of valid characters:
  • Alphanumerical (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) characters
• Some special characters (colon [:], underscore [_], and hyphen [-])

- It has a file extension that is .key or .pem.

- It can have optional encryption (via password or passphrase).
