Configuration Software

The MLC 55, 62 and 64 Series Configuration Program is used to configure the MLC
buttons and ports via an RS-232 or USB connection. This software, available for
download from the Extron website, enables you to set functions for the front panel
buttons and to configure the MLC ports in order to control devices via the MLC.
The software works in combination with the IR or RS-232 drivers, also provided at
www.extron.com
page 46 to access this program).

Device Drivers

The MLC can control a switcher, projector, or other display device via IR or RS-232
communication. The MLC must have drivers loaded for the devices it will control in order
to send commands to those devices. Drivers can be obtained in the following ways:
• You can download IR or RS-232 driver files from Extron via the driver subscription
feature within the MLC configuration program. The drivers are saved on your
computer in a folder located at
Documents\Extron\Driver2
Driver2
software.
• You can capture IR commands from the IR remote control of a device through
IR Learning using the MLC configuration program to create a driver that the MLC
can use. When a driver is created, it can be added to the configuration program so
that the commands can be used to configure the MLC to control the device (see the
MLC 60 Series help file to configure the MLC using IR Learning).
