Matrix Software
Two software programs accompany the CrossPoint 300 switchers:
•
The Extron Matrix S Control Program (Extron part #29-015-01),
which communicates with the switcher via the RS-232/RS-422 port, provides
an easy way to set up ties and sets of ties.
•
The Extron Button-Label Generator, which allows you to design and print
labels for the matrix switcher’s front panel buttons.
Both programs are compatible with Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows ME,
Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Updates to these programs can be downloaded
from the Extron Web site (http://www.extron.com).
Matrix Switchers Control Program
Installing the software
The program is contained on a set of 3.5-inch diskettes. Load and run the program
from the hard drive.
To install the program from the floppy disk to the hard drive, run Setup.exe from
the floppy disk and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program
occupies approximately 1 MB (megabyte) of hard-drive space.
By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\MTRX50 directory and places
two icons (MATRIX S Control Program and MATRIX S Help) into
a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.
The program was designed to control most Extron matrix switchers, but its
operation is limited to the features and configuration of your switcher.
The switcher can support either RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication
protocol, and operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates.
See Selecting the RS-232/RS-422 protocol and baud rate in chapter 3,
Operation, to configure the RS-232/RS-422 port from the front panel.
