Introduction, cont’d

Global Configurator provides the following features for the MLC 104 series:

Offline configuration — Using Global Configurator, you can configure your MLC 104 Medialink controller without having the actual device on hand, eliminating the need to connect your MLC before starting the configuration.

GlobalViewer Web pages (IP model only) — GlobalViewer Web pages (HTML, XML, and JavaScript) allow you to control and manage devices such as VCRs, DVDs, and displays connected to an MLC 104 IP. These pages are generated when you build and upload your project files in GC.

GlobalViewer can be viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer® (version 6 and above) from any computer with access to the network.

System Requirements

•Intel® Pentium® III processor or later with at least a 1 GHz clock speed

•Microsoft® Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or later operating system

•Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later

•512 MB of RAM

•50 MB of hard disk space

Installing the Software

Before getting started with Global Configurator, you must install the software. The configuration software is available at no charge via the Extron Web site at www.extron.com.

CYou must use Global Configurator version 2.2 or later to configure the MLC 104 series. Using an earlier version (2.0.0 through 2.1.x) risks damage to the products. Immediately update any existing controllers configured with older versions of the software.

To install the software on your hard drive:

1.Go to www.extron.com and click the Download tab.

2.Click the IP Link® Software link or icon.

3.Click the Global Configurator link or icon.

4.From the Global Configurator page, click the

Download Now button.

5.Provide the necessary information, then click the

Download GCSWxxxxx.exe button.

The program wizard walks you through the remaining process. By default, the installation creates the necessary directories, placing icons, files, drivers, and a help file for

Global Configurator within them.
