Installing and Starting the Control Program

Another way to operate the switcher is via the Windows
Matrix Switchers Control Program. This program is contained
on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM (included with the
switcher). Run this program on a PC connected to either of the
switcher's serial ports or the Ethernet port. See
on pages 2-5 and 2-6, for connection information. The program
must be installed on a Windows-based computer and cannot be
run from the CD-ROM.
N For details on operating the program, refer to the
FOX 4G Matrix 14400 User's Manual, chapter 5,
"Matrix Software".
