Matrix Switchers Control Program

The Windows-based Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program communicates with the switcher via the rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port and the front panel Configuration (RS-232) port to provides an easy way to set up ties and sets of ties. The program is compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Installing the software

The program is contained on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM, disk B. Install the software as follows:

For full functionality, install both of the following programs:

•The Matrix Switchers Control Program

•The Firmware Loader

1. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive. The installation program should start
