4. Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the installation of the Matrix
Switchers Control Program creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\ Matrix_
Switchers directory, and it places the following four icons into a group folder
named "Extron Electronics\Matrix Switchers":
• MATRIX Switcher+ Control Program
• MATRIX Switcher+ Help
• Uninstall MATRIX Switcher
• Check for Matrix Updates
N Besides the LAN port, the CrossPoint or MAV switcher can support remote
control via either the rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 Remote port or the front
panel Configuration port (matrix sizes up to 1616).
Remote RS-232/RS-422 port — The port can be configured for either the
RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication protocol and operate at 9600, 19200,
38400, or 115200 baud. See "Selecting the rear panel Remote port protocol and
baud rate" in chapter 3, "Operation", to configure the rear panel port from the
front panel.
Configuration port (matrix sizes up to 1616 only) — The port supports
RS-232 serial communication protocol only. The port can operate at 9600,
19200, 38400, or 115200 baud, but Extron recommends leaving this port
at 9600 baud. See the Serial port configuration commands on page 4-25 to
configure either port using an SIS command.

Software operation via Ethernet

When a CrossPoint or MAV switcher is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, up
to 200 users can operate it, locally or remotely, using the Matrix Switchers Control
Program. See "Ethernet" 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 CrossPoint or MAV 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 Matrix Switchers Control Program
when the operator is logged on as a user.

Ethernet protocol settings

The IP Settings/Options screen (figure 5-7 on page 5-7) provides a location for
viewing and, if connected via the RS-232 link or if logged on via the LAN port as an
administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See "IP Settings/
Options window", later in this chapter, for more details.
