Installing and Starting the Control Program

Another way to operate the switcher is via the Windows®-based Matrix Switchers Control Program. This program is contained on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM (included with the switcher). Run this program on a PC connected to either of the switcher’s serial ports or the Ethernet port. See B, C, and G, on pages 2-5 and 2-6, for connection information. The program must be installed on a Windows-based computer and cannot be run from the CD-ROM.

NFor details on operating the program, refer to the FOX 4G Matrix 14400 User's Manual, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”.
