Serial Communication, cont’d

After a few seconds, the Extron MLC 52 Configuration Program main screen appears, displaying a graphic representation of your selected model and of the IR 452 remote control.

The MLC 52 Configuration Program screen (not configured)

If you have loaded any configurations to your MLC previously, the most recently saved configuration is displayed, including button switch mode colors and name labels, driver commands, and display device settings.

The color of each button on the screen reflects the button’s switch mode. If you open the configuration software through the wizard, the buttons’ switch modes are set according to the configuration you just created via the wizard. If you open the software without going through the wizard, and no configuration has been loaded to the MLC, the screen buttons are the factory defaults colors (See “Factory defaults” on page 5-37).

6. Create a configuration for your MLC as described in the following sections.

•If you want to base the new configuration on an existing one, restore the desired configuration. (See “Restoring a configuration,” later in this chapter.) You can then modify it as desired and save it under a new name, as discussed in the following sections.

•If you want to create a completely new configuration, and a configuration has already been loaded to your MLC, reset the controller to its factory defaults. (See “Resetting” on page 5-47.)
