4.Follow the on-screen instructions. The installation program creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\Matrix_Switchers directory and an “Extron Electronics\Matrix Switchers” group folder. It installs the following four programs:

•• MATRIX Switcher+ Control Program

•• MATRIX Switcher+ Help

•• Uninstall MATRIX Switcher

•• Check for Matrix Updates

First-time Connection Considerations

LAN port connection

If you connect your PC to the switcher via the LAN port, and it is the first time you have done so, you may change the default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator password) on the controller (see Configuring for Network Communication on page 25 for details.)

USB port connection

When you connect your PC to the DMS matrix switcher via the USB port for the first time, the Found New Hardware Wizard opens.

Activate the connected USB port for your device as follows:

NOTE: If you have not installed the latest Matrix Switchers Control Program, click Cancel and install the program. Reconnect the switcher to the Configuration port.

1.Select the No, not this time radio button and click Next. The wizard installs the necessary driver to access the switcher via the Configuration (USB) port (this may take a few minutes).

2.On the next page that appears, select the Install the software automatically radio button and click Next. Follow the on-screen

instructions. The wizard assigns the driver necessary to access the switcher to the connected Configuration (USB) port (this may take a few minutes).

3.Click Finish to exit the wizard.

NOTE: You may need to repeat these steps if you subsequently connect the switcher to a different USB port on the same computer.

Starting the Program

1.Click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics > Matrix Switchers > MATRIX Switcher + Control Pgm.

The Comm Port Selection window appears.

2.Choose the comm (serial) port that is connected to the switcher, USB, or IP [LAN].

NOTE: For a comm port, check the baud rate displayed in the Comm Port Selection window. If you need to change the baud rate, click the Baud button and double-click the desired baud rate.

3.Click OK.

If you selected a serial port or the USB port in step 2, the Matrix Switchers Control Program is ready for operation.
