MSG Matrix Switchers • Windows-based Control Program
The ICS100 Control Software, which can be used to control the MSG matrix
switchers, requires Windows 95/98, NT, or later. The program provides
control of the switchers' functions from a PC. Control is enabled by
connecting the switcher to a PC with a serial cable (to the Serial Port
connector), then installing and configuring the ICS100 Control Software
program in the PC. For information on remotely controlling the switcher
from a network, see Remote Control from a Network, in chapter 5 Remote
Control.

-based ICS100 Control Software
The program is contained on a single CD, which is provided with your
switcher. The program occupies approximately 2.5 MB (megabytes) of hard-
drive space. Run the program from the hard drive after installation.
To install the software from the CD onto the hard drive, put the CD in the
CD-ROM drive of your PC. The install program will autorun. Follow the
instructions that appear on the screen.
By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\Program Files\Inline Inc
directory, and it places an ICS100 icon on your Windows desktop.
To run the ICS100 Control Program, double-click on the
ICS100 icon on your Windows desktop. The ICS interface
screen is displayed.
