By default, the configuration files are stored at the following location:

c:Program Files\Extron\MediaLink. This is where the configuration program looks for these files when you click Next. If the configuration file you want is stored elsewhere, click the Browse button, near the lower-right corner of the screen, and use the Browse For Folder screen to locate the file (it must have a .mlk extension). When you find the file, click on it, then click OK. The path to the selected configuration is displayed in the field at the bottom of the screen.

6.	Click Next.
7.	On the Upload Configuration screen, click the Upload button to begin the
	process of loading your new configuration to the MLC.

If your MLC already has a configuration loaded, the following prompt appears:

Overwrite prompt

•Click Yes if you want your new configuration to replace the existing one.

•If you click No, another prompt is displayed, reminding you that you have elected to exit the wizard and start the Windows-based configuration software. It asks you if you want to save the configuration you just selected.

If you click Yes, a Save As... window opens. Save the configuration to the desired location.

If you click No, the wizard closes without uploading the configuration.

If you did not exit the wizard, the configuration you created is uploaded to the MLC. When the upload is finished, the screen displays the message “Upload Complete.”

8. If you want to upload this configuration to another MLC, click Upload again. You are prompted to detach the RS-232 cable from the currently connected MLC, and to attach the cable to the next MLC to which you want to upload the same configuration. After you have done this, click OK on the prompt window. The wizard uploads the configuration to the next MLC.

If you do not want to upload the configuration to another MLC, skip to step 9.

9. When finished uploading the configuration, click Next. The Finish screen is displayed.
