4 . Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the installation of the Matrix
Switchers Control Program creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\Matrix_
Switchers directory, and it places the following four icons into a group folder
named “Extron Electronics\Matrix Switchers”:
• MATRIX S Control Program
• MATRIX S Help
• Uninstall MATRIX Switcher
• Check for Matrix Updates
N Besides the LAN port, the CrossPoint or MAV switcher can support remote
control via either the rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port or the front panel
Configuration port (matrix sizes up to 1616).
Remote RS-232/RS-422 port — The port can be configured for either the
RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication protocol and operate at 9600, 19200,
38400, or 115200 baud. See “Selecting the rear panel Remote port protocol and
baud rate” in chapter 3, “Operation”, to configure the rear panel port from the
front panel.
Configuration port (matrix sizes up to 1616 only) —
The port supports
RS-232 serial communication protocol only. The port can operate at 9600,
19200, 38400, or 115200 baud, but
Extron recommends leaving this port
at 9600 baud . See the Set serial port parameters commands on page 4-23 to
configure either port using an SIS command.
Software operation via Ethernet
When a matrix switcher BME is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, up to
200 users can operate it, locally or remotely, using the Matrix Switchers Control
Program. See “Ethernet” in chapter 2, “Installation”, for installation details.
Connection to the switcher BME via the Ethernet is password protected. There
are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. Administrators
have full access to all switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select
inputs and outputs, set and recall presets, and view all settings with the exception
of passwords. If the same password or no password is required for logging on, all
personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed
user privileges are not selectable in the Matrix Switchers Control Program when the
operator is logged on as a user.
Ethernet protocol settings
The IP Settings/Options window (figure 5-7 on page 5-8) provides a location for
viewing and, if connected via the RS-232 link or if logged on via the Ethernet
port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See
“IP Settings/Options window” later in this chapter for more details.
