Front Panel Configuration Port

The USB mini B port is located on the front panel (see figure 15, below). It is used to
connect to a host computer for configuration using SIS commands with DataViewer or for
updating firmware with the Firmware Loader utility. Both are available at

www.extron.com

.

It may be necessary to install the USB driver to the connected computer.
To connect the MPS 601 to a host computer:

NOTE: If an Extron USB device has never been connected to the host computer, prior

to connecting the MPS 601 Config (USB) port for the first time, you must install and
activate the USB driver. The simplest way to do this is to install either DataViewer
(see

DataViewer

on page 46) or the Firmware Loader utility (see

Updating

Firmware

on page 47).

1.

After the USB driver is loaded, connect a USB A to mini B cable between the Config
port on the MPS 601 front panel and a USB port of the PC.

If this is the first time an Extron product is connected to the PC, the Found New
Hardware Wizard dialog opens. The first screen offers to connect to Windows Update
to search for the appropriate driver. This is not necessary if the USB driver is already on
your PC (see the Note above).
