Installing and Starting the Control Program

Another way to operate the switcher is via the Windows®-based Matrix Switchers Control Program. This program is contained on the Extron Software Products DVD (included with the switcher). Run this program on a PC connected to either of the switcher’s serial ports or the Ethernet port. See g (page 2-4),

h(page 2-5),and l (page 2-6),for connection information. The program must be installed on a Windows-based computer and cannot be run from the DVD.

NFor details on operating the program, refer to the CrossPoint 450 Plus / MAV Plus Switcher User's Manual, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”.

NIf you connect to the switcher via the LAN port, and it is the first time you have done so, you may need to change the controller’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator name and password). See "Configuring for Network Communication" for details.
