Obtain network information (DHCP status, IP address, subnet mask, gateway) from your network administrator and note the device MAC address from the label on the back.
Mounting
The touch panels can be wall-mounted or rack-mounted.
Wall Mounting
With a wall box:
- Cut a hole in the drywall (9.6 inches wide x 6.6 inches high) and install the Extron BB 700M box.
- Place the metal mounting plate against the wall, mark the four holes, and drill pilot holes.
- Secure the mounting plate with four #10 screws.
- Run and connect cables to the back of the touch panel.
- Insert the two provided #6-32 screws with washers into the mounting screw slot, leaving a gap for the flange.
- Hold the touch panel at a slight angle, lower the notches over the hooks on the mounting plate.
- Swing the bottom of the panel inwards until it lies flat.
- Secure the panel to the mounting plate with the mounting screws.
Without a wall box:
You can mount directly into drywall. Download the cut-out template from www.extron.com, mark the wall, cut the hole (9.25 inches wide x 6.25 inches high), and follow the mounting plate installation steps above.
Rack Mounting
These panels can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack using optional kits (RM2 for 1225MG, RM3 for 1525MG/1725MG). Refer to the Underwriters Labs Guidelines for Rack Mounting in the full user guide.
