Many items found in the Matrix Switcher+ Control Program are also accessible via front panel controls (see chapter 3, Operation) and under SIS control (see chapter 4, Programmer’s Guide). The Matrix Switcher+ Help Program provides information on settings and on how to use the control program itself.

1.To run the Matrix Switcher+ Control Program, double-click on the Matrix Switcher+ Control Program icon (shown at right) in the Extron Electronics group or folder.

The Comm Port Selection window (ﬁgure 5-1) appears.

Figure 5-1 — Comm port selection window

2. Choose either the comm port that is connected to the MVX Plus 128 switcher’s RS-232/RS-422 port, IP [LAN], or Emulate.

If you selected a comm port, check the baud rate displayed in the comm port selection window. If you need to change the baud rate, click on the Baud button and double-click on the desired baud rate.

Available rates are 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200. The default is 9600.

Click OK and proceed to step 4.

If you selected IP [LAN], click OK and proceed to step 3.

If you selected Emulate, click OK and see Using emulation mode on page 5-19.
