About the MLC Configuration Program

An MLC controller must be configured in order for it to be able to control other devices. The Extron MLC 60 Series Configuration Program is used to set up the MLC front panel buttons and rear panel ports and to update firmware. Using this software, you can create configurations on your computer for your MLC and then upload them to the computer via the MLC USB or Host/Config serial port. (The MLC does not have to be connected to the computer while you are creating the configurations.) See the “Features, Installation, and Operation”section for pin assignments and other details on the configuration ports, and the configuration software help file to create and upload the configurations.

NOTE: Extron recommends configuring and controlling the MLC via the USB port.

This port can supply power to the MLC during the configuration process.

Computer System Requirements

The minimum system requirements for the computer on which you install the MLC configuration program include:

•Intel Pentium III 1-GHz processor

•Microsoft Windows XP SP2 (32 bit) or Windows 7 (64 bit)

•Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0

•512 MB of RAM

•50 MB of available hard disk space
