FPC 6000 • Setup Guide
Overview
The Extron FPC 6000 uses an Extron TLP Pro 1520M TouchLink
®
touchscreen to provide an intuitive 15-inch front panel controller for
Extron FOX
®
matrix switchers. The FPC 6000 is a stand-alone device that does not require an external controller. This guide provides
instructions for experienced installers to mount and install the touchpanel.
Setup Checklist
The FPC 6000 touchpanel ships with a Power over Ethernet power injector and a 7U high, 19-inch wide, rack-mountable metal panel.
When it ships, the touchpanel is already mounted in the panel
Get Ready
Obtain the following network information from your network administrator:
DHCP status — on or off. If DHCP is off, you must also obtain:
IP address for the FPC 6000 — by default, this is 192.168.254.251
Subnet mask for the FPC 6000 — by default, this is 255.255.255.0
Gateway for the FPC 6000 — by default, this is 0.0.0.0
User name for the FPC 6000 — by default, this is admin
Password for the FPC 6000 — by default, this is extron
IP address for the matrix switcher
Password for the matrix switcher
Mount and Cable All Devices
NOTE: The FPC 6000 ships with a PoE power injector. You can use a 12 VDC 3.0 A power supply instead, but that power supply
must be purchased separately.
ATTENTION:
• Do not power on the touchpanels or control processors until you have read the Attention in the “Rear Panel Features”
section of the FPC 6000 User Guide.
• Ne branchez pas les écrans tactiles ou les contrôleurs avant d’avoir lu la mise en garde dans la section «Rear Panel
Features » du FPC 6000UserGuide.
Choose a suitable location and mount the units. When the FPC 6000 ships it is already mounted in a 7U high, 19-inch wide, rack-
mountable metal panel. Secure the panel to any standard instrument rack or console (see Mounting on the next page).
A Power over Ethernet (PoE) power injector is provided with the FPC 6000. Connect the power injector to the FPC 6000 (see
figure 4 on page 4).
Connect the power injector to the LAN and power it on (see figure 4).
Set up the FPC 6000 for Network Communication
Use the Setup Menu (see page 4) to set the DHCP status and, if necessary, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and related
settings for the touchpanel.
The FPC 6000 requires no further conguration.

FPC 6000 • Setup Guide (Continued)
Mounting
Extron recommends mounting the FPC 6000 in a rack, using
the provided rack mounting panel. However, Wall Mounting
the FPC 6000 is another option.
ATTENTION:
• All structural steps and electrical installation must
be performed by qualied personnel in accordance
with local and national building codes and electrical
codes.
• Toute étape structurelle et installation électrique,
doit être effectuée par un personnel qualié,
conformément aux codes du bâtiment, aux codes
incendie et sécurité, et aux codes électriques,
locaux et nationaux.
1. When the FPC 6000 ships it is already mounted in a 7U
high, 19-inch wide, rack-mountable metal panel. Decide
where the FPC 6000 will be mounted.
2. Use the four provided rack-mounting screws to secure
the FPC 6000 to any standard equipment rack or control
console.
Follow the instructions in the Underwriters Laboratories
Guidelines for Rack Mounting (see the FPC 6000 User
Guide, available at www.extron.com) to ensure the rack
is mounted safely.

Wall Mounting the FPC 6000
The FPC 6000 can also be wall-mounted, either using the Extron BB 700M wall box or directly into drywall. Some local building codes
require the touchpanel to be mounted in a wall box. To use the BB 700M, see the TLP Pro 1220MG, TLP Pro 1520MG, and TLP Pro
1720MG Setup Guide, at www.extron.com. If the wall box is not required by local building codes, you can mount the touchpanel
directly into drywall.
ATTENTION:
• Do not install the FPC 6000 in a re resistant rated wall or partition assembly.
• Ne pas installer le FPC 6000 dans un mur résistant au feu ou une cloison.
• All structural steps and electrical installation must be performed by qualied personnel in accordance with local and national
building codes and electrical codes.
• Toute étape structurelle et installation électrique, doit être effectuée par un personnel qualié, conformément aux codes du
bâtiment, aux codes incendie et sécurité, et aux codes électriques, locaux et nationaux.
