4. Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the Windows installation
of the Matrix Switchers Control Program creates a C:\Program Files\
Extron\ ISS506, and it places four icons into a group folder named "Extron
Electronics\Matrix Switchers." The four installed icons are:
• ISS 506 Control Pgm
• Uninstall ISS 506
• Check for ISS Updates
• ISS 506 Help
N The ISS 506 can support remote control via the front panel Configuration
port, the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port, and/or the LAN port. For serial port
control, the program can operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200 baud rates.
See "View and Edit Communications Settings menu" in chapter 3, "Operation",
to configure the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port from the front panel.
Software operation via Ethernet
When an ISS 506 is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, any number of
users can operate it, locally or remotely, using the ISS 506 Control Program. See
"Ethernet connection" in chapter 2, "Installation", for installation details.
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two
levels of password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full
access to all ISS 506 switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select
inputs and outputs, set and recall presets, and view all settings with the exception
of passwords. If the same password or no password is required for logging on, all
personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed
user privileges are grayed out in the ISS 506 Control Program when the operator is
logged on as a user.

Ethernet protocol settings

The ISS 506 System Settings IP tab screen (figure 5-15 on page 5-13) provides a
location for viewing and, if it is connected via the RS-232 link or if you are logged
on via the LAN port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet
interface. See "System Settings IP Settings window", later in this chapter, for more
details. See "System Settings Passwords window" to set passwords,
