Installing the Software

Model 8/10 PLUS RS-232 Control

Software

The Model 8/10 PLUS Switcher control software is a program called UNIVSW. It is Windows® 3.1, 3.11 and Windows 95 compatible and provides remote control of input selection.

The program is contained on a single 3.5” diskette and will run from the floppy drive. However, it will be more convenient to load and run it from the hard drive. To install the software from the 3.5” floppy disk onto the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE from the floppy disk. The program will occupy approximately 1 MB of hard drive space.

The Windows installation will create (by default) a C:\UNIVSW directory and will place 2 icons (UNIVSW Program and UNIVSW Help) into a group or folder titled “Extron Electronics”.
