Using The Software - Extron electronics CrossPoint 300 84 User Manual

4. Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the Windows installation of the
Matrix Switchers Control Program creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\
Matrix_Switcher directory, and it places three icons into a group folder named
"Extron Electronics\Matrix Switchers". The three installed icons are:
• MATRIX Switcher+ Control Program
• MATRIX Switcher+ Help
• Uninstall MATRIX Switcher
The CrossPoint 300 switcher can support remote control via either the rear
panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port or the front panel Configuration port.
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 the 9600,
19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rate. 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 — The port supports RS-232 serial communication
protocol only. The port can operate at the 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud
rate, but Extron recommends leaving this port at the 9600 baud rate. See
the Set serial port parameters command on page 4-12 to configure either port
using an SIS command.
