Matrix Switchers Control Program

The Windows-based Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program communicates with

the switcher via the rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port and the front panel

Configuration (RS-232) port to provide an easy way to set up ties and sets of ties.

The program is compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Updates to this

program can be downloaded from the Extron Web site (

www.extron.com

Installing the software

The program is contained on the Extron Software Products Disk. Install the

software as follows:

For full functionality, install both of the following programs:

• The Matrix Switchers Control Program

• The Firmware Loader

Insert the disk into the drive. The installation program should start

automatically. If it does not self-start, run Launch.exe from the disk.

The Extron software disk window appears (figure 5-1).

Figure 5-1 — Software disk window
