Obtaining Device Drivers

The Extron drivers are control files (libraries) of commands created by Extron that are specific to a particular display device or switcher. There are different sets of drivers for serial (RS-232) and IR control. Before you can use the configuration software to configure the MLC buttons and ports, the necessary drivers must be loaded onto your computer. You must then load the appropriate driver for your device to the MLC in order to configure it to control the device.

Serial and IR drivers are available at no charge from the Extron web site at www.extron.com. You can download them directly from the web or through the configuration software. The same drivers are also provided on the software DVD provided with the MLC.

NOTES: By default,the drivers that you download are stored in the Driver2 folder on

your computer, located at:

Windows XP c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ Shared Documents\Extron\Driver2

Windows 7 c:\Users\Public\Documents\Extron\Driver2

Downloading Drivers Using the Configuration Program

The easiest way to obtain the drivers for your devices is via the MLC configuration program. (You can do this at any time while the software is open, regardless of whether a project has been created.)

1.Click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics > MLC 60 or double-click the MLC software icon (shown at right) on your desktop to launch the MLC software application. The MLC Configuration Program main window opens, with the Start Options window displayed in front of it.

2.On the Start Options window, click the Add Driver Subscriptions button.
