NBP 1200C Cable Cubby Enclosure with
Network Button Panel • Setup Guide
Overview
The Extron NBP1200C is a furniture-mountable Cable Cubby
®
enclosure with a Network Button Panel integrated into the lid. It
is a fully customizable AV system control interface for use with Extron IPCPPro Series and IPLPro Series Control Processors,
and with Extron meeting space collaboration system products. Each NBP button panel has a single LAN port, which supports
both power and communications between the IPCPPro control processor and the button panel. The flip-up button panel has ten
customizable, soft-touch buttons that are backlit for easy operation in low-light environments.
Use Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage NBP button panels and assign each one a unique IP address. Then use
Extron GlobalConfigurator
®
(GC) Plus and Professional software, or Global Scripter
®
programming to configure the control
system, including the buttons on NBPs. Once configured, the AV system can be controlled from any of the NBPs.
This guide provides basic installation instructions. For more details on the entire line of NBPs, see the Network Button Panels
User Guide, available on www.extron.com. For details on configuration, see the software help files.

Preparation checklist
Use the following checklist to prepare for the installation.
Download and install the latest versions of the software, firmware, and device drivers needed to configure or program the
control processor or HCR receiver to interact with the NBPs and control the connected AV products. See the IPCPPro Series
User Guide, IPLPro Series User Guide, or HC400 Series User Guide (available at www.extron.com) for details on software
and drivers.
Obtain network information for the unit from the network administrator. You need the following details for each IPLinkPro
device, including the IPCPPro and each NBP:
DHCP setting (on or off) Subnet mask User name
Device (NBP) IP address Gateway IP address Passwords
NOTE: If DHCP is on, you do not need the IP addresses and subnet mask.
Write down the MAC address of each IPLinkPro device (such as the NBP) to be used.
Obtain model names and setup information for the AV devices to be controlled in the system.
Each NBP button panel comes with a factory-installed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security certificate. If you intend to install
a different SSL certificate, contact your IT department to obtain the certificate or for instructions on how to obtain one. See
“Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates” in the Network Button Panels User Guide for requirements and guidelines regarding
SSL certificates.
Verify that you have all the included parts (see Included parts on the next page) and have all the necessary tools for installing
the Cable Cubby.
Before cutting a hole in any furniture, select the best location for the NBP1200C.
• Ensure that the product is oriented so that the lid opens in the desired direction.
• Ensure there is enough space for all the system cables and components, including cable retractors, if they are to be
installed.
Check all relevant regulations.
