Installing and Starting the Control Program
Another way to operate the switcher is via the Windows ® -based
Matrix Switchers Control Program. This program is contained
on the Extron Software Products DVD (included with the
switcher). Run this program on a PC connected to either of the
switcher’s serial ports or the Ethernet port. See g (page 2-4),
h (page 2-5), and l (page 2-6), for connection information. The
program must be installed on a Windows-based computer and
cannot be run from the DVD.
N For details on operating the program, refer to the
CrossPoint 450 Plus / MAV Plus Switcher User's
Manual, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”.
N If you connect to the switcher via the LAN port, and it is
the first time you have done so, you may need to change
the controller’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask,
and [optional] administrator name and password). See
"Configuring for Network Communication" for details.
Installing the program
1 . Insert the disk into the drive. The installation program
should start automatically.
The Extron software DVD window appears.
N If the installation program does not self-start, run
Launch.exe from the DVD.
2 . Click the Software tab.
3 . Scroll to the Matrix Switchers program and click Install.
4 . Follow the on-screen instructions. The installation
program creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\
Matrix_Switchers directory and an “Extron Electronics\
Matrix Switchers” group folder. It installs the following
four programs:
•
MATRIX Switcher+ Control Program
• MATRIX Switcher+ Help
• Uninstall MATRIX Switcher
• Check for Matrix Updates
Starting the program
1. Click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics > Matrix
Switchers
> MATRIX Switcher + Control Pgm.
The Comm Port Selection window appears.
2 . Choose the comm (serial) port that is connected to the
switcher or IP [LAN].
N For a comm port, check the baud
rate displayed in the comm port
selection window. If you need to
change the baud rate, click the Baud
button and double-click the desired
baud rate.
Click OK.
If you selected a serial port in step 2 , the Matrix Switchers
Control Program is ready for operation.
