Controller
An MLC Plus 200 Application
An IR, RS-232, or Ethernet driver file can be downloaded from the extensive Extron
driver selection from the Extron website (www.extron.com/download/index.aspx).
The driver is saved to a folder and commands from the driver are incorporated into the
GC configuration file for the controller. The configuration file is built and uploaded to the
MLC Plus via GC.
If a driver is not already available, RS-232 or Ethernet command strings can be
entered directly from a host computer using Global Configurator. These can then be
incorporated into controls within the GC project.
Loads device drivers for monitoring the status of and controlling devices within the AV
system.
Creates the configuration containing all the settings for the controller and the products
with which it interacts in the AV system.
