Switcher Software

Control Software for Windows®

Two software programs accompany the ISM 182 and ISM 482:

•The Extron ISS/ISM Control Program (Extron part #29-054-01), which communicates with the switcher via the rear panel Remote port, provides an easy way for you to control the switcher.

•The Extron Button-Label Generator, which allows you to design and print a label strip for the switcher’s front panel input selection button window.

Both programs are compatible with Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows ME, and Windows 2000. Updates to these programs can be downloaded from the Extron Web site (http://www.extron.com).

Installing the software

The programs are 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 first floppy disk and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program occupies approximately 1.5 Mb (megabytes) of hard-drive space.

By default the installation creates a C:\ISSISM folder, and it places three icons (ISS/ISM Control Pgm, ISS/ISM Help, and Button-Label Generator) into a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.

Software operation via Ethernet

When an ISM is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, any number of users can operate it, locally or remotely, using the ISS/ISM Control program. See Ethernet connection in chapter 2, Installation, for installation details

Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all ISM switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select video and/or audio for output, select inputs and outputs, select test patterns, set RGB and audio mutes, select a blue screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. If the same passwords or no password is required for logging on, all personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed user privileges are grayed out in the ISS/ISM Control program when the operator is logged on as a user.

Ethernet protocol settings

The IP settings/options screen (figure 5-6 on page 5-5) provides a location for observing 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. None of the fields on this screen can be edited while logged on as a user. See System Configuration Page in chapter 6, Ethernet Operation, for details on the contents of these fields. See appendix A, Ethernet Connection, for other basic information about Internet protocol.

Editing variables on the IP settings/options screen while connected via the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the ISM. Extron recommends editing the settings on this screen using the RS-232 link and protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.
