Many items found in the ISS 506 Control Program are also accessible via front panel controls (see chapter 3, “Operation”) and under SIS control (see chapter 4, “SIS Programming and Control”). The ISS 506 Help Program provides information on settings and on how to use the control program itself. Use the software as follow:

1.To run the ISS 506 Control Program, select

Start > Programs > Extron Electronics > ISS 506 > ISS 506 Control Pgm.

Either of the Communication Type Selection windows (figure 5-3) appears.

2.	If necessary, click either the:
	•	TCP/IP tab (for connection via the LAN port — proceed to step 3), or
	•	RS-232 tab (for connection via the rear panel RS-232/422 port or front
		panel Configuration port — proceed to step 4).
3.	If you selected TCP/IP in step 2:
	a.	Observe the Extron IP Address field in the IP Connection window. The

field displays the last Extron IP address entered.

If the IP Address field is correct: Proceed to step 3b.

If the address is not correct: Either click in the IP Address field and enter the IP address or click on the scroll down button () and select from among the recently used addresses. Proceed to step 3b.

NIf the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory- specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.

b. If the switcher is password protected, click in the Password field and enter the enter the appropriate administrator or user password.

c. Click Ok.

If you logged on using the administrator password, the Windows program connects you to the ISS 506 switcher with all of the administrator rights and privileges.

If you logged on using the user password, the Windows program connects you to the ISS 506 switcher with only user capabilities.

If a password was required and not entered or if an incorrect password was entered, the program prompts for the password.
