The Universal Switcher Control Program is compatible with Windows 3.1/3.11, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows ME, and Windows 2000 and provides remote control of the input selection for each output (including audio breakaway) and audio gain and attenuation adjustments.

Updates to this program can be downloaded from the Extron Web site (http://www.extron.com).

Installing the software

The program is contained on a single 3.5” diskette and can be run from the floppy drive, or it can be installed and run from the hard drive. To install the software on the hard drive, run setup.exe from the floppy disk and follow the screen instructions.

By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\UNIVSW folder and places two icons (Universal Switcher Control Program and Universal Switcher Help) into a group named “Extron Electronics”.

Using the software

1.	To run the software, double click on the
	Universal Switcher Control Program icon in
	the Extron Electronics program group.
2.	In the Comm Port Selection window (figure 4-2), click on
	the comm port that is connected to the MMX’s RS-232 port.
