Extron electronic MLC 52 manual Configuring using the Windows-based configuration program

Wizard Finish screen

10. On the Finish screen, select either of the radio buttons, then click Finish.

•The first radio button closes the wizard and opens the Windows- based configuration program, enabling you to view and/or edit the configuration you most recently uploaded.

When you click Finish with this option selected, a prompt appears, reminding you to save the configuration after editing it using the Windows-based configuration software. Click OK to close the prompt. After a few seconds, the Windows-based configuration software main screen opens, displaying your most recently uploaded configuration. (See “Configuring using the Windows-based configuration program,” in the next section, for instructions on editing a configuration.)

•The second radio button closes the wizard without opening the configuration software.

Configuring using the Windows-based configuration program

To configure the MLC 52 more extensively than the Configuration Wizard permits (for example, to add IR drivers to an MLC 52 RS, or to change button labels), you can work directly from the Windows-based configuration software main screen.

This screen is also your starting point for performing advanced configuration procedures that also are not available through the wizard (for example, configuring buttons on the optional IR 452 remote control to enable the IR 452 to control a VCR, DVD player, or other display device via the MLC and the IR Link or IRL 20. See “Programming the MLC 52 for control by the IR 452 Remote,” later in this chapter).

Using the software, you can create a completely new configuration, or modify an existing configuration and save it under a new name.
