4. Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the Windows installation of the Matrix Switchers Control Program creates a C:\Program Files\ Extron\ ISS506, and it places four icons into a group folder named “Extron Electronics\Matrix Switchers.” The four installed icons are:

•ISS 506 Control Pgm

•Uninstall ISS 506

•Check for ISS Updates

•ISS 506 Help

NThe ISS 506 can support remote control via the front panel Configuration port, the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port, and/or the LAN port. For serial port control, the program can operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200 baud rates. See “View and Edit Communications Settings menu” in chapter 3, “Operation”, to configure the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port and LAN port from the front panel.

Software operation via Ethernet

When an ISS 506 is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, any number of users can operate it, locally or remotely, using the ISS 506 Control Program. See “Ethernet connection” in chapter 2, “Installation”, for installation details.

Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all ISS 506 switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select inputs and outputs, set and recall presets, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. If the same password or no password is required for logging on, all personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed user privileges are unavailable in the ISS 506 Control Program when the operator is logged on as a user.

Ethernet protocol settings

The ISS 506 System Settings IP tab screen (figure 5-15on page 5-13) provides a location for viewing and, if it is connected via the RS-232 link or if you are logged on via the LAN port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See “System Settings IP settings window”, later in this chapter, for more details. See “System Settings Passwords window” to set passwords.
