Setup and Control
Software
The SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software provides an intuitive, easy to operate, graphical
user interface that allows the user to configure the audio system quickly and efficiently. It
provides more options than the front panel. As selections are made, only the options that
are available for the current configuration are displayed by the software. Extron strongly
recommends using the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software for all configuration.
The program comes on a disk, supplied with the unit. It can also be downloaded, free of
charge, from the Extron Web site (
www.extron.com ).
